Great little video on why to Twitter and Facebook to help people with relocation.

Montana land and home located on Angel Point, Lakeside, Montana. The pristine waters of Flathead Lake are a gorgeous site every morning while on the extended deck of the home. Three car garage is waiting for toys and the house is perched to give great veiws over the land and water. Watch the clouds hover over Galcier Park to the north and the sun move across the Swan Mountain range across this massive lake while the smell of evergreens and pine mellow into your coffee. There are three parcels of land together that can give you 420 feet of frontage or they can be sold separately. The adjacent parcels of land have been lovingly cleared for a new home, yet privacy kept in mind. Land is sloped, wooded, and site ready. Well and septic is in place. Lakeside is 40 minutes outside of Kalispell, MT and there are direct flights from Chicago into Glacier International. Ski at Big Mountain/Whitefish or at the newest ski area that is 10 minutes from your home, Blacktail Mountain right in Lakeside. This is a true retreat.

If you are thinking of refinancing under the Home Affordable Program, Carla Rogini, out of Milwaukee with Wells Fargo may be your first phone call. The program runs on a pyramid structure type format with a lot of questions and answers. Sort of, if this answer is 'yes' then move here and if it is 'No' then go here. Carla will walk you through the test and see if you can apply. Remember the focus is to keep people in their homes. Vacant inventory cost money, time and effort and HARP is one of the newest programs to assist homeowners in rearranging their mortgage financing.

There were 18 pages to the listing contract for my condo in Geneva National. The Wisconsin Exclusive Right to Sell a Condominium listing contract is 6 pages. The Real Estate Condition Report (RECR) is 2-3, the Condominium Addendum to the RECR is 3, the Condominium Disclosure is 2, the Lawsuit Disclosure is 1, and the Agency Disclosure is 2. Then if I wish to add a Rider explaining furniture that is included/excluded I can do so and I can attach my taxes for 2008. The number of pages is not the issue it is the knowledge of what is in those papers that can differentiate one agent from another. There are many condominium associations on Lake Geneva with the two largest being Abbey Springs and Geneva National. Every structure or vacant home site within these communities is labeled as a condominium because they pay association dues into the professional management of the community. Confusing? Maybe. But that is why you work with a Realtor who knows how these communities are legally structured and the process that is needed to successfully bring a closing together.

Well, if you are following the latest blog from GuideMeHome2LakeGeneva.com/margaret-canfield then you know that you are following along with me as I sell my condo in Geneva National, Lake Geneva, Wi. So far I talked about cleaning out and cleaning up prior to listing. What's next? A competitive market analysis and yes I did do one for myself. My condo is the only one like it for sale but unless the Buyer really knows Geneva National that is not going to matter. The view is spectacular....that is why I purchased it. My patio overlooks the Trevino 12 and 16 golf holes. Large ponds, trees, sand traps and the golf path angles away from the house. And, a plus to me is sunny southern exposure. Is that going to add to the market analysis? Not likely. It is about pricing these days. While there are several homes and condos for sale around the lake withe a similar number of bedrooms and baths the 'rubber meets the road' with the fact that he last condo of my floorplan was listed for $329,900K and sold for$ 300,000. The Sellers redid the bathrooms and kitchen. I too have upgraded with new appliances, light fixtures, ceiling fans, water softeners, window treatments, etc. but did not rip out the bathrooms. Stepping back from the views and location and color of paint I have priced mine at $287,900. Almost $13,000 less then the last sale. Only after a Buyer comes into my home will the rest really matter.
