What NOT To Do...

Today's post on the Allen Tate blog is very timely in general but for us specifically as we had just this issue delay a closing recently.  It offers great advice for anyone under contract to purchase a home.  To see the whole post, click here, but the main points are as follows:
-- Don’t open any new credit accounts before or during the mortgage loan application process
-- Don’t move money around in your checking/savings accounts
-- Don’t change jobs or the way you are compensated

Happy buying!

ComeHomeToClemmons.com Featured in Video

Neil Brown of Brown Advertising put together a video of client testimonials highlighting his talents as a graphic and web designer. Lisa and I were honored to be included in the video (and it's proof positive we need to stick to selling homes as opposed to our movie careers!). Honestly, though, if you are looking for an edge for 2012 in your marketing, contact Neil. HE WILL NOT TRY TO SELL YOU, but his products will do it anyway. Just no other Realtors, please... :-). Simply click "video" above --

Seriously, to get an idea of what he can do, look at ComeHomeToClemmons.com. I literally said "Here are some photos, some general info... run with it and see what you can do." It really is dynamic and represents Warren's Gate beautifully. Way to go, Neil!
