Subtitle: We know what to do and we are here to help! 

My husband Bud has been asking me to write a blog about what we do when we list a home. He is always saying, &ldquo;Why don&rsquo;t you tell people all the things you do?&rdquo; I am not one to toot my own horn, so this has been difficult to write and I am sure I will leave things out that we do. But you might get bored if it is too long.

10 year fixed rate mortgage anyone?&nbsp;

Have you considered doing a 10 year fixed rate mortgage? It's an idea and its time has (probably) come. At least for some people because being debt free is very cool. It gives you a freedom that is hard to describe and easy to enjoy.

So, I just saw this rate today from one lender. A 10 year fixed rate at 3.5% - the low rate is certainly enticing and only 10 years to a Dave Ramsey moment! It does sound kinda good, doesn't it?

I am holder of a certificate called, &ldquo;Short Sales &amp; Foreclosure Resource Certified.&rdquo; The designation is referred to as &ldquo;SFR&rdquo;. It seems these days more and more &ldquo;short sales&rdquo; are coming up for sale. There are so many people, not just in the Marietta area but in the nation as well, that are upside down in their homes. Upside down means that they owe more on their loan than their home is worth.

Current Interest Rates 12/30/2010

We can expect interest rates to rise slowly over the coming year and they have been doing that since late summer of this year.&nbsp;Look for the&nbsp;30-year fixed-rate&nbsp;loan is to rise slowly to about 5.3% near the end of 2011.&nbsp;

&nbsp;The forecast by the government is for&nbsp;national unemployment&nbsp;to drop to around 9.2%. This is good because more people working means more money at work and more people will be able to purchase a home.

We hope you enjoy this one. The title above and everything that follows comes from a pamphlet produced for Cathy in 1991. This&nbsp;advertising pamphlet is&nbsp;almost twenty years old and it is amazing to us to read because Cathy is still the same after such a long time. She has&nbsp;demonstrated a&nbsp;consistant reputation for almost 29 years. Bud Meder
