Fly Fishing Realtors

MIKEKELLY — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 12:05:24 -0700

Fly Fishing requires a deft hand, impeccable timing, patience, the ability to "read" the water and the proper selection of many different tools to meet the goal of landing (and releasing) big fat 'bows or wily native browns--Not dissimilar to the current real estate market we currently find ourselves!
Anchoring one to the serenity of a trout stream in these days’ of uncertain economic waters is not only therapeutic but energizing to the wise fly guy or gal. Join me in relating your analogies to the fine art of stalking Mr. Trout and this current real estate market.

RESPA reform

matt_carter — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:22:34 -0700

What's your take on HUD's latest shot at RESPA reform? With all the emphasis on disclosures, is this simply "RESPA light?" Or do you think that by offering incentives to package settlement services with loans, HUD has dressed up its 2002 proposal in sheep's clothing?

Either way, HUD estimates the rule change would save consumers about $8.35 billion a year. Another way to look at that is $5.88 billion in lost revenue for mortgage originators, and $2.47 billion for settlement services providers. more...
