Definition: Foreclosure, and Something That Makes Sense
A big word in real estate today is foreclosure.

According to businessdefinitions.com… Foreclosure is the Legal process by which a lender cancels (forecloses)... [Read more]
Real Estate Definitions 101
ChangingStreets.com, the company and the website is constantly evolving in a real estate market that is doing the same. It is the only way to meet the needs of consumers and stay in tune with the market. I find the same to be true of this blog. Whereas I once envisioned it as being a light-hearted look at selling homes through the eyes of a real estate agent, at least where my role is concerned,... [Read more]
Movin’ On Uptown
Eight Flint based investors came together in 2002 and formed Uptown Developments LLC. Have you heard of it? In the group’s own words, they are …focused on redeveloping downtown Flint into an vibrant neighborhood consisting of loft apartments, restaurants, offices, entertainment and cultural venues. I like the sound of that! If you haven’t heard of Uptown Developments, I bet... [Read more]
My City is Making A Comeback in 2011 – Is Yours?
Call it lingering sunshine inspiration or blame it on the aromatherapy of my self action tanning lotion but I am on fire today! It’s 7:30 am and I’m already posting. It also probably helps that I had the best piece of news forwarded to me last night that I can’t wait to share. It’s about FLINT and it’s AWESOME!. Yep. I said AWESOME. It’s from KIPLINGERS, a...

Spring Into Landscaping Maintenance
Spring is finally here. Sure, we likely have more cold weather facing coming our way, but we can see the light at the end of the freezing cold, snowy, dark tunnel. Hooray! Just as New Year’s Day renews our spirit for the new year, Springtime represents new beginnings and possibilities as we watch nature wake up around us. We feel our own bodies waking up too, as we’re greeted by... [Read more]
The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow. So Take Your Vitamins and don’t Dwell In Sorrow…
Someone asked me last night, “What is going on?” She was contemplating all the people around her and in her extended circles who have been struck ill or passed away recently. I bet you have too. Like everything else over the last few years, can we blame THIS on the economy? I think so. As each year has ended in very recent history, there has been a collective, “Thank goodness that’s...

Green Electronics
No, this is not a St. Patrick’s Day post, although it was submitted by our very own, very Irish, Shannon Jones. She’s been extra busy lately sharing some really good hints for real estate and beyond. Today she’s telling us how to be green with electronics. I was doing some spring cleaning and recycling when I came across a bunch of old cell phones that were not in good enough... [Read more]
Carol Scharrer: Flipping Over Real Estate
Carol Scharrer started selling real estate in May 2007 to form a partnership with her husband who is a builder. The plan was to build and flip a couple of houses a year, to supplement their income. The timing was a little off though, as the market was already starting to dip, and the houses were taking longer to sell than anticipated. So house flipping Flint took a break. The surprise, though,... [Read more]
Imported From Detroit
So I was in my glory Superbowl night. Not because my favorite team was playing – I don’t even have a favorite team. I don’t watch pro football. And not because I was excited by the cornucopia of finger foods & libations that usually put me on cloud nine for the annual awesome commercial fest. In fact, the reason Superbowl Sunday was such a a joy for me was not something I could... [Read more]
