OH WHAT A WEEKEND AND NIGHT!!!!

OH WHAT A WEEKEND AND A MONDAY NIGHT its been....

In my last post I was whining how I needed my phone to ring.. Guess I should of started whinning sooner..Friday I hit the ground running. I had my first email at 915 from trulia. It was a lead about a condo I had. I called the lady and she was amazed I called so quick. She actually was still on Zillow looking. They wanted to come down from Atlanta Sunday morning and look for a condo. I asked if they thought about getting pre approved and she responded that we had a preapproval letter from our bank for this amount. I told her she didnt need to look on Truilia anymore, Give me your criteria and Ill have you in 5 minutes an email with all that meet it. I told her in  the time frame she gave me pick out the beast 7-10 and we could see them in that time.

Then I got an call from a lady I have been emailing with about selling here property since around November. She was gonna try an FSBO first well she was ready to list this 500K property with me..I set an appointment up at her convenience which is 2PM today.

The about noon my phone rang off a 1st time buyers add I ran. He was interested in this 80K townhouse I had listed  was about 25 years old had a job.. a 650 beacon.. I asked him when it was good to see it he said Sunday I made it late afternoon so I could make sure I finished with the other folks.

Then the young couple I was working with called me they had 7 more properties they wanted to see Saturday if I was available around 3pm.

 Boy was I just Giddy!!!!!


Well all Friday afternoon I was busy scheduling appointment. Again Sat morning I was finishing setting the condo appointments she wanted to see. The Sat afternoon we went house looking..well after about showing this couple now 40 or 50 homes over the months and yes we had made a few offers that we got beat out on..Well I decided to take them back to a house that they had seen before that was second on their list once before. We got their just before dark and walked it.. it had everything the wanted...a extra garage for his photography studio. a huge yard. a screen in porch...tons of storage space...but she didnt like the kitchen a lot...they talked for a while we diced to make an offer and I was on the phone with the listing agent till 830 pm and we reached a deal....Boy what a day.. I was whupped...went home and crashed with my poor puppy.

Got up Sunday Morning met my couple from Atlanta. about the 4th thing we looked at they said WOW!!!!
we looked at the rest all the time they are talking about this unit...So I say would you like to make an offer on it. It happened to be a foreclosure and was actually priced right....

The next statement made me laugh inside..lol....This unit was on the 13th floor I think.. He says well the 10th floor is my height limit. after that I dont feel comfy.....They choose these they walked on the deck and had laughed about it.. but we had only looked at 2 units under the 10th.. He said find this between the 4th and 10th and we would be interested... Well they went home I searched the MLS and found one on the second and this one...they want me to keep looking for them....but he I got a new customer...

Then I met the young Kid that afternoon looked at the townhouse he loved it. I sent him to a banker I use for 1st timers she is great with them.. Hope to hear back from him today...

Monday day was a decent day at the office got a bunch done....Met a friend around 430 we sat around chatting went for dinner  and then she wanted to head over to a friends... and then the excitement began.....

what a night...I went with a friend to a friends house we knock on the door this man completly nude man answers the door...and I dont mean just some man a 91 year old man...lol...he was a practicing nudist and owned the place her friends lived. we all sat around for hours talking the whole time he was fondling his equipment...he was telling how he had sex several times a day with several woman...lol.. a 91 year old man....he should us a experimental drug the VA has him on....

and the roomies vouched for this..

But you know what astounded me the most.. we actually talked to this man for almost 3 hours about religion.. government... the economy..real estate....he had been a Dr a minister and on and on thru his life....his knowledge was vast but he never missed a beat.. I think at 50 my mind is worst then his....he was 91!! and had a mind of a 30 yo.

and know what he kept telling us it was from.....yes sex...said everytime you empty you sack and produce more you rebuild testerone and so he rebuild testerone 4 or 5 times a day. He had a full head a gray hair.. his skin was saggy...but his mind.......said he was immortal and was not gonna die probably before me.....he says that the VA doctors are studing him...lol......

OH WHAT A NIGHT.....

SHORT SALE BETTER DO IT NOW!!!! PANAMA CITY FLORIDA (edit/delete)

SHORT SALE BETTER DO IT NOW.  Uncle Sam has decided that you only have till December 31, 2012 for tax relief on your short sales. So PANAMA CITY FLORIDA and everywhere else in the good ole USA if you are under water on your home as most are and you want to get out of it and safe 10's of thousands you better get it on the market now.....Ypu know banks 2-6 months to process a SHORT SALE so if you dont have it under contract by June you maybe #$%^ out of luck.

I just sold a condo for a client that he lost $300,000 on it. That will be the 1099 he gets from the IRS being in the 28% bracket if it would of sold next year he would of had to pay $84000 to the IRS on that sale....DO YOU HAVE 1 20, 50, 100,000  TO HAND OVER?????

YOU BETTER CALL ME NOW AND GET STARTED SELLING THAT PROPERTY!!!!!!!!!

1 minute to late in Real Estate in Panama City Florida

1 Minute to late..Seems that is the way its been in Panama City Real Estate lately. I was out showing this couple property till 8 pm last night. We have made offers on 3 houses already, and all three as soon as I get contracts in to them they say we just got an approved offer on it. Yet they still sit in the MLS as active for days. The first one they saw yesterday we ended up going back this morning and looking at it a second time.  They wanted to make an offer on it. They said you sure its still available. I said well its been on the market for 379 days  and I looked on my I Phone and checked the MLS and it said it was. So we went to the office and did an offer I emailed it to the agent and my phone rings. LOL  GUESS WHAT...yes she says I'm sorry Joel we got an offer early this morning and the bank signed off on it. Now this was at 9:37.

I don't know if its me or them..One of us is jinxed..lol... THAT WAS HOW THE DAY STARTED.


I have this short sale I have been working on since 1 Nov. It is with Hancock bank a newer Bank in our area. The FDIC closed one of the big local banks here and brought Hancock in from LA to take it over. Well the original loan is from Peoples Bank the old bank. They said they do not work the short sales from Peoples but out source them to this company...but they couldnt give me a phone number or contact for this company.. I started with bthe local branches and ended up at the main branch in LA and finally got a contact number right at Thanksgiving. They called and said I had to get a form signed of course from the owner saying they could talk with me. I got that to them the next day. I called and had to send the letter 4 times before they said they got it.. Finally on Dec 8th I got an email with a list of what they needed. I got it together and sent it to them on the 10th. I have been calling everyday to make sure they have it. The switchboard wont let you talk to the person working on it all they say is Its being processed and not complete yet..

Well today I got kinda shitty and finally got to a supervisor. He swore he would find out whats going on and get right back to me. That was at about 1030 this morning..Finally around three I called back and kinda got more uppity. At 430 finally a Karen calls me and says "we cant process your file yet we are missing a few papers". So I asked what she needed as I number each page of my file and I know I sent them everything on the list. lol she says we need the last 2 months bank statements I said you have them. she said no they are for Sept Oct and I said yes you have been working this since Nov1. she says no Im working it now and I have to have Nov and Decembers also I need a New YTD P & L for 2012 now.. lol we are 4 days into the year....GRRRRR oh and it has to be notorized by a accountant..lol......

NICE MORNING I'D SAY...this is what happens in Real estate lots of ups and downs....

Now for the afternoon...... It actually was pretty good. I got a listing appointment for Friday at 2 and I got a call From a guy in VA that wants some commercial property and is gonna make an offer he says on something. I sent him some blank contracts....woooo them My guy I have been working on a MILLION DOLLAR PENTHOUSE CONDO ON THE BEACH called and touched base with me saying he ways just days away from making an offer. He met with his account and should do something before the middle of next week......Man that made the whole day awesome!!!!!!

Left work about 4 took a bottle of wine over to a friends work had a beer with her came home to a mess..lol.. dog had peed all over his room...I tried to act mad because I don't want him to go it often..but he was alone since 730 this morning to about 6 I couldnt hold it that long..lol......


I am so glad at least there is action..seems real estate here is starting to pick up again....I need 4 mil this year in sales somehow!!!!!!!!

New Year In Panama City Beach Florida 201b

New year in Panama City Beach Florida 2012. Well one of my New Years resolutions was to do my blogging this year. 2011 was probably my best year in at least the last 5. My son won the 2011 NCAA college baseball Div 2 World Series, The go signed by the Atlanta Braves in the Summer. He had a good Professional start but then kinda blew up. The second half of the season he showed back up again.  The he got engaged..BOY they grow up fast and he is only 21. My youngest Jake still is out in Limbo. At 20 he doesn't quite know what he wants to do in life yet. He lets his step father plan everything for him. They have changed majors now 3 times in 3 years. I wish my ex and her husband would just let him alone and let him either flop or make it out on his own. He has no mind of his own and just follows their lead even though it does not make him happy. 


Professionally I almost hit 3 million in sales!!!! I had 25 sides I closed!!! I got very close to my goal which was to double 2010. For 2012 I want 4.5 million in sales and close 40 sides. I know I have to put more into Real Estate I work it hard when I work it but I still don't do all I need to. A lot of it is my funding. I really don't have what I need to do all the prospecting I want. I am hoping to have a great 1st quarter so I can set the rest of the year up.


Personally I hope to find someone that can put up with me that I want to be around. I always start with someone and I know going in its not the right person.. but in the last 20 years I have not really put my self out there so I am really trying to take more chance and not prejudge so much. Lately it hasn't worked but at least this year I has a few relationships versus just just having fun and not trying to commit to anything.




Well this is the 1st new blog of the year on the first.. hopefully I can do it everyday.. Im on the computer enough if Id just do the things I need to..lol.....


Always remember this is no future in the past. Always look ahead
