Really I don't... and Real Living has already "how to'd" it all...  so here are links... I'd like you to contact me rather than finding another agent with Real Living HER but I do want to share this info with you...

May. 30, 2009 - Real Living's Peace of Mind Mortgage Protection

It’s called “Peace of Mind.” (.pdf document from Real Living HER with details, terms)

” The Columbus-based real estate firm Real Living HER announced today that it will cover the mortgage of clients who lose their jobs.

The firm, the largest in central Ohio, says it is the first real-estate company in the area to offer the protection, which some car makers and home builders also offer.”

You have to work with a Real Living HER agent (have I mentioned I am one?)  and get a  Real Living mortgage on the home of your dreams.  The Peace of Mind insurance program is for a limited time. *

Jun. 15, 2008 - Father's Day 2008 Open Houses

May. 28, 2008 - National Association of Realtors

The DOJ (Department of Justice) had a lawsuit against NAR (National Association of Realtors) for years. CNN (is that Cable News Network?) Money says the DOJ lawsuit against NAR was filed in September 2005.

Settled Tuesday… breaking news…  I’d nearly forgot what it was about… It was about  IDX (internet data exchange?) and VOWs (virtual office websites?)

In the CNNMoney.com article Realtors settle case with U.S.

“Real estate agents were accused of illegally blocking posting of home listings and limiting competition from online brokers.”

I think by “Real estate agents” they are referring to NAR, a national trade organization.

It will be interesting to watch. It has to go to court. Then 60 days later, the world as we know it will change? Or it won’t.

CNN says

“The report found that more consumers use the Web when house hunting than rely on “For Sale” yard signs.”

Duh!

Search for Central Ohio homes…  somewhere here… there’s a link to the search for local homes.  I read the LA Times and other unlocal newspapers… then went to our own Columbus Dispatch to see what they have to say about it.

In today’s Columbus Dispatch News Briefs it says:

“The settlement, which requires court approval, opens the MLS databases to online and traditional agents.”

Also in today’s local news briefs… and certainly less dry and boring… news of Columbus Ohio based Victoria’s Secret… going after another company for using the word “sexy.”

“Victoria’s Secret appeals trademark ruling on ’sexy’ “
