No expensive Agent required to sell your home

-
What is with these realtors stroking themselves for charging you 7% to sell YOUR OWN HOUSE? I was reading the Carlsbad New Mexico newspaper about a guy  named Ramsie Hernandez  who was honored by Chaves County  Realtor's Association as Rookie of the Year. Love Mom and Dad. I would love him too if my social security check was not getting it done in retirement!!

Also a  man in Roswell resigned his position at the airport to become a real estate agent. Do you realize if lovable Ramsie sells your $300,000 home that he makes TWENTY ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS!  That is more than janitors with experience make at Carlsbad High School!  

There is a beautiful home at 304 N Mesquite St which is for sale by owner. I am sure the homeowner knows you can make arrangements with title company YOURSELF! Giving away a ton a money for realtor fees is rapidly becoming a thing of the past! 

It is NOT that difficult to draft  your own purchase agreement

Be sure it includes the following:

The full names of the buyer and the seller
The  property address(Don't forget the county)
The purchase price 
A brief but inclusive description of the property’s condition at the time of sale
An indication that you’re satisfied with the property’s condition
Clearly state which fixtures and appliances are to be sold to the buyer
Conditions or repairs that need to be completed before the sale can go through
 The target closing date for the sale
Signatures from the buyers and sellers involved with the transaction

You know if the greedy realtors would just charge a more reasonable fee of, say, 3% they would not have dug themselves such a deep hole. FSBO happened because listing agents wanted tooo much.

Read the work of  Caroline McCarthy to COMPLETELY BYPASS having to interact with a realtor if you have to sell your home. Also Zillow has built up platform  to support FSBO although they are still tweaking it some. Good luck to you!

Don't be fooled by this Email Spoofing Entity

Do NOT be duped  livenlonpro unsolicited emails claiming that you have had a credit card application rejected. Jennifer Abel wrote about the nightmare experienced by James R Hood regarding a fake Amazon order. ScamAdviser published its opinion that the site is safe, but do not be deceived. They sent me an email about my credit card application being rejected and I HAD NOT APPLIED FOR A CREDIT CARD IN OVER 4 YEARS. Max Gannon, writing for CoFence, details how they are the classic Phishing scam. Do not download anything from them unless you enjoy having your laptop or desktop paralyzed by malware from their email spoofing algorithm!! I was not able to find the physical address of  livenlonpro  which is a strong indication they are fly by night fraudsters.

The Clerk has your Gasoline Receipt

How many times on a cold or rainy day have you gotten the following message at the gas pump indicating you have to enter the convenience store in order to pick up your receipt for gasoline purchase? The last thing anybody wants to see from a credit card purchase gas pump is a message stating that the clerk has the receipt! On this particular day, I was already late to pick up our daughter from day care and did not have time to walk into AllSups to pick up receipt from the convenience store attendant. Did I say CONVENIENCE store!? I think many roadside convenience stores intentionally do not reload the receipt paper rolls in order to force customers into their establishment. Once inside, customer may buy a lottery ticket, cigarettes, beer, condom, etc. Many patrons need the gas receipts either to be reimbursed by their employer or for their IRS tax itemization. Gas stations doing this are in violation of some law. Not many of have the time to file a lawsuit against gas

Homeowner's Tree dangerously Blocking Stop Sign

 As I far as I know code enforcement has contacted the female you see in the picture below regarding a huge front yard tree that is blocking a stop sign at a busy four way intersection.  She would be in violation of laws dealing with obstructing traffic signs in any other city. She resides at 113 West Deming Zip code 88203 in Roswell New Mexico. You can see how dangerous her uncut and untrimmed huge tree is at the corner of South Richardson and Deming in the picture below. I am sure she has received a lot of stimulus money as well as unemployment payments from Uncle Sam so I know she has the cash to cover the costs of cutting the hazardous tree down to size!! I worked for code enforcement in Midland Texas and they would have warned this homeowner once and the then fined her for neglect and threatening the general welfare of the public. I was going to apply for job in Roswell, but will find another place to live if the city has people who care so little for their fellow citizens!!! It i
