It seems like just yesterday that I wrote about the first half of 2010 being behind us…  it took July almost 4 seconds to disappear out from under us!  We enjoyed celebrating the 4th of July with family and friends.  Now we’re enjoying 100 degrees and begging for rain.

We’re have plenty of Real Estate activity thanks to superb interest rates.  If buyers can just endure the new loan approval process we’ll all survive.  The sins of the lenders’ past are not going to be resolved by regulatory overkill today.  However this is reality and it will be this way for some time to come.  Buyers just need to prepare every detail of paperwork and documentation required and not be frustrated.  Sellers need to realize the difficulties buyers face in the new loan process.   This is a good time to think about what the other side is going through and have patience.   Take a deep breath and happy buying and selling!
