October 17, 2009 by Steven Chain · Leave a Comment
This is #3 in a series of feature articles about a real cowboy his horse and Cottonwood Horse Property Homes For Sale.
This is Chet, in his Sunday best, seated on “Shorty”. I can tell you being dressed like this generally happened for two occasions, a Saturday dance or Church. There was a family rule. If you went to the first one you were going to the second one. The hat is today what we might call a,”Tom Mix” hat. Chet said they wore Stetson hats. From time to time he would explain with some detail the quality and he and his brother Rex’s personal preference. You’ll notice the pants. They “could” fit over the boots, but why hide a perfectly good pair of boots. Chet wore cowboy boots until the last few years of his life, although he did start turning the pants over the boots. That’s just a sign that cowboys can change too. Cottonwood Horse Property Homes For Sale.
The cowboy in the picture is Chet. Chet was my grandfather. I am truly grateful for the influence Chet had on my life. I’ll never forget his cowboy ways. Cottonwood Horse Property Homes For Sale Shasta Horse Property

This is the 6th in an 8 part series, on Successful Selling in a Buyer’s Market, Cottonwood homes for sale
MARKET AGGRESSIVELY: In a Buyer’s Market effective marketing must be comprehensive and aggressive. November 2008 survey results indicated that 87 percent of all Buyers are using the Internet in the home purchase process. Results show the Internet is the first source of information for 34 percent of those seeking their next home purchase. Therefore every marketing plan must be centered around the effective use of the Internet. Using a syndication of websites, in advertising listings, is a component of a comprehensive marketing plan. Regularly monitoring the Internet traffic viewing the advertised listings measures the results of the campaign. While traditional marketing venues have their place utilizing them must be in proportion to their effectiveness.

Cottonwood Horse Property – Part 2, Homes For Sale
October 6, 2009 by Steven Chain · Leave a Comment
This is #2 in a series of feature articles about a real cowboy his horse and Cottonwood Horse Property Homes For Sale.
The horse in the picture is Shorty. As you can see being about 15 hands he wasn’t short. All my life my Grandfather told me stories. He seemed to have an inexhaustible supply. When he was about 87 years old he told me a story I had never heard him tell before. We were visiting and the subject of his horse Shorty came up. Grandpa said that Shorty was the kind of horse that would just stand his ground until a better horse showed up. I didn’t know quite what to say so I was silent. If you know anything about a good storyteller you know, #1 they are patient, #2 they understand the value of timing and #3 they can work with an audience that is SLOWWW. Looking back Grandpa seemed quite relaxed at the time. It was as though he was used to this sort of thing. He paused and waited until it was quite clear that I wasn’t going to get IT. Then he quite deliberately repeated the setup line,”Shorty was the kind of horse that would stand his ground until a better horse showed up.” By now I knew he was patiently working with a slow audience (me) and I gathered my response,” Did a better horse ever show up?” Grandpa paused just the proper amount of time to insure a reasonable amount of attention ,on my part, and he replied,”Never did.” You see a Real Cowboy would never outright BRAG on his horse, but he will tell you a story. Cottonwood Horse Property Homes For Sale.
As storytelling goes this would be what they call a,”Story in A Story”.
The cowboy in the picture is Chet. Chet was my grandfather. I am truly grateful for the influence Chet had on my life. I’ll never forget his cowboy ways. Cottonwood Horse Property Homes For Sale Shasta Horse Property

This is 1 in a series of feature articles about a real cowboy his horse and Cottonwood Horse Property Homes For Sale.
People might want to know what a real cowboy looks like. I would like to share a bit about the cowboy in the photograph. The cowboy’s name is Chet and that is his horse Shorty. Chet was born and raised in the cowboy way of life. While later in life he did many things, that early part of his life had a defining influence on him. Perhaps it was breaking horses and working on cattle drives on what was part of the Old Chisholm Trail. Or maybe it was just the responsibility of working on the family cattle ranch. But no matter what Chet did he had a bit of that cowboy way about him. If things in life got a bit wild Chet would just ride it out and end up all the better for it. What he started he would see through. I am truly grateful for the influence Chet had on my life. Chet was my grandfather. I’ll never forget his cowboy ways.

This is the 4thin an 8 part series on Successful Selling in a Buyer’s Market Cottonwood homes for sale
STEP 4 – Process the Information: As we process the information from our Market Evaluation we will assist you in the next step in Selling your home. We will consider your property and ownership position relative to 1 of the following 4 categories:
1. MARKET PRICE RANGE IS ACCEPTABLE:Result = You and your home are in a position to sell and you are ready. If this is the case then we can complete the next 4 steps in pursuing your Cottonwood home for sale
2 MARKET PRICE RANGE IS UNACCEPTABLE:Result = The market range is below what you would like to sell your home for. You don’t need to sell and are happy in your present location. No problem sit back and relax. Life is good. Due to the historic increases in values many homeowners began to view their home as being primarily an investment. My humble opinion is your home is primarily a place to live. Generally homes make great investments, but no matter what families have to live somewhere.
3. MARKET PRICE RANGE & NEGATIVE EQUITY:Result = The likely sale price range is below what you owe on your home. If you don’t need or want to sell your home sit back and relax. Life is good. But if you need or want to sell you may want to consider a Short Sale. There are numerous issues to look at when considering Short Selling a home. We have a short list of questions to initially determine the prospects of Short Selling your home. Approximately 30% of all homes in a negative equity position are not candidates for Short Sale. But that being said 70% of the homes are. So with a clear plan and Lender cooperation a sale is still possible. Note: In Short Sales the Lender pays all Realtor Commissions.
4. FORECLOSURE: You have determined your home and your ownership position are not candidates for Short Sale. This is a challenge many have faced in the nation. It’s not the end of the world. It’s an event and an experience that will pass. This is still a time to conduct financial planning going forward. We recommend that you don’t go it alone. Take advantage of family, financial planning and church support available to assist you through this challenging time. Use this experience as an opportunity to learn and grow. As challenging as this is anticipate better days ahead.
We have not addressed the possibility of a Mortgage Modifications. The reason being the topic of this series is Successful Selling in a Buyer’s Market. Next time we will look at: Pricing It Right
