Just to clarify the proper procedure. An EM check can only be held by a Broker. In my case, when I write a stip that says EM will be delivered in a certain time frame, that means the check isn't even written. Technically it doesn't exist. I had a listing agent once ask me to just send a copy of it. I explained that I couldn't because the contract said it wouldn't be delivered until within 48 hours of written, binding agreement. She said, "Well just have the client write it and send a copy to you so you can send it." I had to explain that to do so would breach the contract. Some agents don't un

I just saw this thread. It is not unusual for the earnest money check to be made payable to the Seller's closing attorney. Lots of foreclosure banks require that. Earnest money can be held by anyone. The Seller could even hold it personally. When I write contracts for buyers I always put in a stipulation that EM will not even be delivered until within 48 hours of binding agreement. But sometimes you have to play by the Seller's rules when the Seller is a bank. I have to assume in the OP's case that's what's going on and no it's not unusual. As for the original question, you should be able

Please don't do that to me. Or at least make me the opening act. There are kids way younger than me that make me sound like a croaking frog. AND I REFUSE TO FOLLOW WADE LOWMAN. I'm not fit to hold his microphone.

Okay...if you say so.

Thanks Subby...apparently I've already been tapped to sing. I just found out myself a few minutes ago. LPPT knows that all she has to do is set it up and then she tells me later by smiling and batting her eyelashes. I'm no match for her.

I'm not sure if what your describing fits my symptoms. How much would you charge to come to the house to check it out?

Thanks, the battery is brand new. And now so is the starter.

I just assumed that the starter was the problem on my lawnmower. The new one came yesterday, I put it on this morning. And it's doing the same thing. The flywheel won't turn enough to get it started. HELP...the grass is 10 feet tall. I can't afford to buy a new mower and frankly I'm not sure I can afford to fix this one. I do have a message out to Subby. But I thought I'd seek other advice in the meantime.

I LOVE AUDRY'S. Great food, friendly people.

I think it shows tremendous courage on the part of ABC to cast Chaz Bono. I have no desire to change my gender, I'm quite happy with all of my parts, and I'm still extremely proud of Chaz and ABC. I will watch the show this season. As for Nancy Grace, I hate that crazy bitch. Although I'm certain she will probably rake the judges across the coals which will be very entertaining.

Each persons situation is different. But if you can price to market and the condition is good you can sell. I sold a Pcommer's house recently that had been listed by someone else for a couple of months with lots of showings but no offers. I took over the listing, had them do their own staging with some minor suggestions from me, I lowered their price by $100 to get them into a new bracket and I had the house under contract in 30 days. It can be done with just a little give and take.

I picked up some fresh wild caught cod at Kroger for $3.99/lb

I made fish tacos, with fresh salsa (Jimmy canned recently), fresh guacamole, shredded green leaf lettuce, cilantro and black beans. YUM YUM

I'm happy to assist Buyers and Sellers. Feel free to PM me or of course you can always call 770-324-6995

I'd love it to hit here, no destruction or death or anything, we just need the rain.

For HUD owned property the most accurate info is at www.hudhomestore.com for Fannie Mae it's homepath.com for all others georgiamls.com. You can also search all listings at www.idealrealestateprofessionals.com. If you need explanation or want a more targeted real time search call me and I will be happy to assist. No obligation. Ditto...Zillow is notoriously incorrect.

It was excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing the Bush interview Sunday on NatGeo.

There at least two days away. There is plenty of time to open shelters. Those that can leave should and those that can't will be able to ride it out. There's enough time for the Red Cross to get there now with food. If they think they could be without power, water, etc for weeks, then start trucking it in now. There's no need to be alarmist about this.

That hurricane is going right where it wants to and there isn't anything anyone can do about it. My suggestion is ride it out. I know I'd like to. I was really hoping it would pay us a visit, I enjoy tropical storms. It's the best sleeping weather.

Thanks

You're sweet. And you know I adore you as well. And sorry I was short last night. We were out showing until 9pm and I just couldn't text and drive. Well I shouldn't text and drive. LOL

You're welcome. We are both pleased that you are happy. We hope your family will make years of memories. (Can't wait for the Trivial Pursuit match)

Damn peace loving, tree hugging hippie...

"Goodnight Irene" has been on my mind since I first heard of this storm. My dad used to say it every night to us before going to bed. None of us were named Irene, it was just something he used to say. I still say that. It was a very popular song back when.
