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.

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.
