Federal Reserve Raises Key Interest Rate

The Federal Reserve raises the short term interest rate in attempt to force lenders, banks and financial institutions to use private funds!

Is this the beginning of the secondary mortgage market making a comeback?

What About Social Media – Will it help sell your home?

In short, yes. These days there is almost as much traffic and linking through sites like Facebook and Twitter than through the major search engines like Google.

Most importantly these types of sites act as ‘recommendation engines’ where people share links with friends and family. On a large scale this is extremely powerful and we are seeing the results in our real estate sales. More and more inquiries are coming from people recommending The Shallis Group and also because they see our clients’ properties listed across the internet.
