Alphabet soup - what the #@$% do all those real estate acronymns mean?!?!

smith8907@gmail.com — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:23:24 -0800

Ever wonder what all those abbreviations mean behind a real estate professional’s signature? We did too, which is why for the past year we have collected all designations and their definitions/criteria that have come across our radar. We call this list “Alphabet Soup”.

The list below may be useful to you; if you find any designations we’re missing, please add a comment to this post with as much info as you can and we’ll keep on top of updating the content. If you are re-posting this list, please give credit where credit is due and link back to Goomzee's Mobile Marketing Blog. more...

Mortgage Servicers Are Under Pressure to Modify More Loans

dannyflucke@momco.com — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:51:33 -0700

This Wall Street Journal article illustrates how focused everyone is on the lender -- With little more than a glance given to distressed homeowners. It is interesting to note that while the various government bodies are cleaning up the "loan mod" industry - They still have not issued any sort of consumer guide to help homeowners needing assistance.

Former Countrywide Execs To Profit From REO Markets

dannyflucke@momco.com — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:00:39 -0700

Does anyone else find this ridiculous?

Former CW senior executives are now heading up a company with Fannie and Freddie REO contracts - Even though they have ZERO real estate selling experience.

(Is that why they are just now getting their real estate licensing in order...?)

They make Multi-Millions in salaries and bonuses at CW - Which certainly had a major hand in creating this real estate bubble - Only to turn around and profit again from the REO market.

'Green' Goomzee

A recent sign order resulted in our supplier mistakenly printing over 30 extra sign riders.

Acknowledging the mistake, our supplier offered to dispose of them at no charge, a courteous gesture...

...but in today's economic and environmental climate...

...how could we just throw away 30ish perfectly good signs? Instead, we returned the signs, and asked our provider to simply re-label them when the time comes for the next order. more...

Saving Private Ryan - What If He's a Renter or Tenant

bandersohn@yahoo.com — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 18:05:34 -0700

Paul SlayBaugh wrote a post the other day on his Blog regarding foreclosures. I shared this concept as a comment on his Blog, and now want to expand on it a little, and get an Industry opinion.

Paul said, "What many prospective tenants do not realize when shopping for a place to hang their hats for the next year or two is that the new landlord might be on unstable footing. Unable to keep up with mortgage payments and unable to sell, leasing the home is becoming the trendy way to staunch, or at least slow the bleeding for many struggling homeowners." more...
