We as counselors, want to put forth the best, non-emotional advice that we can, in hopes that we can help our clients and their families navigate the rough waters of the short sale process.

Old summers don't die, they just explode into color - the bright yellows, oranges, reds and purples of our annual Midwest fall foliage show.

With it's pro-business state house and proximity to Washington DC, where growth in government spending has created it's own jobs engine, Virginia is for business lovers. Texas is in second place, with southern states Georgia, North Carolina,...

Sales in the housing industry have remained stagnant over the last several months. Though certain categories of purchasers have remained stable and even increased, the number of cash buyers and investors has dramatically decreased. Researchers from Capital Economics recently reported:

"The firm has found that since January, the number of homes purchased by cash buyers and investors has fallen by 26 percent."

However, we believe these purchasers have not left the market entirely but instead have been waiting on the sidelines. Both cash buyers and investors are normally looking for...
