Tredyffrin Summer Concert Series at Wilson Farm Park in Chesterbrook
This FREE Concert series held in Wilson Farm Park in Tredyffrin Township 500 Lee Road in Chesterbrook Pa 
, promises to be fabulous.
Cliff hanger economic events make this series even more special since it was uncertain IF there would even be a Tredyffrin Easttown Concert Series at Wilson Farm Park this year. Budget constraints plague all of our Townships (Townships depend heavily on real estate transactions and transfer tax revenues . . . us too :-).
We have the generous good neighbors from Shire Pharmaceuticals Corporation to thank for 4 of the concerts and Tredyffrin Youth organizations, Berwyn-Paoli and Devon-Strafford Little Leagues, Teysa Soccer and Fast Flicks field hockey. Kudos and thanks to Shire and ALL supporters! Read the rest of this entry »

6 Tips For Real Estate iPhone Love
June 27th, 2009 categories: A Realtors Life, Fun Things To Do, Lifestyle
6 Tasty Tips+8 Tempting Apps For Real Estate iPhone Love
My Apple iPhone 3GS adventure actually began more than a few years ago with a
couple of Palm Pilots. I thought they were great until now!
Even though I’m an Apple newbie, I already love my iPhone3Gs. The new iPhone was a Birthday present.
The launch date fell exactly 30 days after my real birthday, so I was counting the days along with the rest of the world and just barely resisted the temptation to stand in line in the predawn hours at the Apple Store in the King of Prussia Mall on June 19th.

New Appraisal Guidelines The Baby and The Bath Water
April 28th, 2009 categories: A Realtors Life, Financial, Home Buyers, Home Sellers
The Real Estate Blame Game Moves On To Appraisers
The Real Estate “Blame Game” has become our current national sport. So far, we’ve raked the Buyers, the Realtors and the Brokers and the Mortgage Companies over the coals. This week we’re moving on to the Appraisers and legislating the free flow of information.
As of May 1, 2009 there will be new property Appraisal guidelines but not 
everyone agrees that we need new Appraisal guidelines as reported in the Wall Street Journal yesterday.
If it’s not the Realtors and the Broker’s fault for pricing and marketing real estate for what it would sell for, then maybe it’s the Appraisers “fault” for appraising the property according to the then existing market activity of what buyers were willing clamoring to pay for property.
Of course there is a need for some Mortgage and Lending reform and the National Association of Realtors supports the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act of 2009, H.R. 1728. You can read NAR President Charles McMillan’s testimony in support of Lending reforms with modification.
Under the new guidelines, Appraisers will no longer call me about one of my sold and settled listings to help them compare the features and benefits to one of their current “subject” properties. I will no longer be able to meet an Appraiser at my Sellers property to share the comparable sold’s that I used to price the property. The Mortgage Company will not be able to call the Appraiser for any reason, much less, to ask for a “rush” for a special relocating family trying to get their children into school before the start of the school year.
