Good morning agents!   It has been a while since I've shared a new video or post! I'm sitting here this morning working on our 2016 Business Planning Meeting Outline for our meeting next week and saw a great Top Coach email featuring an info-graphic on how agents should spend or save their money.     If you know anything about me, I LOVE info-graphics and was very curious about what it had to say. I wanted to see if it was something great I could share with everyone. I thought it was a fantastic and simple way to guide the flow of income for Realtors. Here's a rendering of it here: infographic   To be honest, I thought it's effective, simple and quickly made it's point (although I would've chosen different verbiage for part of it).   With…

Livonia FHA loans change

As of Sept. 14, 2015, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), will be changing their guidelines thus making it more difficult for people with student loans or less-than-perfect credit to buy a home. The FHA insures mortgages and provides lenders with protection against losses as the result of homeowners defaulting on their mortgage loans, and has insured over 34 million mortgages since its start up in 1934, according to HUD.  

With Livonia leading the number of FHA loans between its surrounding areas such as Northville, Novi, Farmington, and Plymouth, these guideline changes could affect the number of Livonia FHA loans that get approved.

Friends,

I was doing a bit of market research lately and found some information you might find helpful.

The Perna Team was awesome! The first time I met Michael Perna was 8 years ago when I purchased my house. Mike was extremely knowledgeable and it was the first time I had dealt with a Real Estate Agent. So when we were looking to sell we definitely reached out to The Michael Perna Team and that is when I met Mary Jo. It went up right away and literally sold in three weeks. Mary Jo was literally a phone call away. They were all just awesome!
