Home buyers can connect wirelessly to view information.
MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Prospective buyers driving by a home for sale may soon be able to use their laptops or PDAs to connect wirelessly with a Web site to get more information under a new system being developed by a Nashua real estate consultant. John Doran calls his program eLapTopTour because it lets buyers instantly call up information about the property through a Wi-Fi connection. Wi-Fi is shorthand for 'wireless fidelity,' a series of technical protocols that transmit digital information by radio signals for short distances. Any properly equipped computer and some cell phones can use a wireless network to access the Internet without being plugged in. Doran and his partner, Eric Snider, are testing the program at a professional building in Salem as well as in a few homes in Arizona and Massachusetts.

Getting into today"s real estate market can be like fishing in a farm pond.
If you read the news, you know we are heading into a down real estate market, one that I predict will fall much more before it hits bottom and starts to rebound.

Lawyer: Florida drivers must be insured.
Florida drivers will still need to purchase property damage liability insurance even if the state"s no-fault insurance system disappears Oct. 1, a lawyer for the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles said. But the department"s executive director questions whether the state will be able to enforce the law requiring the $10,000 minimum coverage. ""I would be concerned that we wouldn"t know whether or not someone had property damage insurance until an accident occurred and then it would be too late,"" Electra Theodorides-Bustle said. She is reviewing the opinion of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles lawyer Michael Alderman on the property damage coverage. It is a reversal of a previous department opinion issued before Theodorides-Bustle was appointed in late February.

Weller"s Overseas Real Estate Investments Draw Scrutiny.
Rep. Jerry Weller"s (R-Ill.) personal and financial associations with Nicaragua were the subject of a lengthy Chicago Tribune front-page story today, alleging the 7-term congressman has not fully disclosed real estate investments in Nicaragua and didn"t accurately state the value of the properties.

If you work for another realtor for a while, you will get paid for selling in a similar way as you would if you were working for yourself. However, you would earn an even bigger percentage of commission once you start your own real estate company.

Keep in mind that there are no free estimates or any kind of free labor for that matter.

There is more than one way to reject an offer. The great majority of purchase contracts have a spot on the form where a seller can note that they have rejected the offer. In other cases a seller can simply write the word 'rejected' across the middle of the face of the contract and then date and initial it. Many offers have an expiration date and if the seller does not respond by said date then by default it is determined that the offer was rejected.
