Miami

Last week I joined my parents on a trip to Miami Beach. My dad had classes every day, all day long so I got to keep my mom company. They invited Jody but June is a really busy month for him so he decided to stay home. We flew out of Pensacola and the flight was less than 1 1/2 hours. So, if you ever want a quick getaway you should look into Miami. We stayed at The Fontainbleau which is a fabulous hotel. Our room was on the top floor and we had great views of the beach and the bay. We didn't really do any touristy things, but we did get plenty of sunning and shopping accomplished. I missed not getting to enjoy the trip with Jody but hopefully we will be able to go somewhere soon on our own! Before I left, I had buyers that wrote an offer and a house and it was accepted. Yay! It was time to relax and not think about work for a few days, except...The lender at Regions called and said she wouldn't be able to do the loan because there was a new rule that doesn't allow buyers to get a loan on foreclosures with a right of redemtion... Not only is this bad news for my buyer's but terrible news for all these foreclosures that will continue to sit on the market. Foreclosures are a huge part of our business and if we cant sell them things are going to get bad. Anyway, as of yesterday Regions can do the loan, but somehow they cant promise they will do it forever. So, that is what I am dealing with this week. If you know of anyone buying a foreclosure, please give them this warning.
