Renee is busy preparing for our July 21st. Wednesday workshop. We hold the workshop at our class room in our 8748 Brecksville Rd. location.
She tells me she has room for a couple of more sellers who want to learn more about the "ins and outs" of putting together a real estate transaction.
Lots of great information and there is no fee to attend.
Why do we do this?
Because the buyers and sellers have a right to choose the title company to insure and close their transaction and this helps us spread the news. A win/win for all!
We earn their trust and make new friends!
If You can be here at 6:30 - in case you're hungry, we have pizza, contact Renee@gatewaytitle.com or call her 440 546 9660. Be prepared to learn everything you wanted to know about selling and closing real estate sales, but were afraid to ask. You can ask us!

Old Realtors Never Die; They Just Become - Listless!
I've been in the real estate industry for many years. First as a Realtor, then I moved into the title end at the old Midland Title in Cleveland, w-a-a-a-y back in the 80's!
I've always been in the marketing side of title, and over the years have worked with tons of agents form many companies. I've been with Them through many changes and merges of companies. The celebration of promotions to management and the heart break of change.
We, in the industry, have all repeated: "Old Realtors Never Die, They just become listless" and we laughed!
There is something to that saying. Once you've been a Realtor, for most, it seems, real estate really never leaves your blood.
The highest complement I get is when I get a call from "a voice from the past" that turns out to be a retired agent who is selling their home or is looking for help for a friend or family member.They tell me they are calling Gateway Title for help because they trust me. It means so much to hear those words.
I love it when into them we meet by chance..it's old home week!
I volunteered to work at Ken Lanci's spot at the Broadview Hts. Home days this past week end and discovered many Realtor friends from Bishop, Century 21 DePeiro, Realty One. We caught up on the times. These are good people who had a passion for the business. Bless them always.

Gateway Title Family Celebrates Life!
It's no secret,Gateway Title is a family business and this time last year, we were busy as a family, looking forward to Granddaughter Ashley's wedding to Joel.
Keeping all the plates spinning was a real challenge for everyone.
Here we are almost a year later, and now we celebrate new life...
Our family has been blessed with two new Babies is the past three weeks. Ashley and Joel have a beautiful son, baby Gage Robert - Michelle's new Grand baby.
Last week Suzy's oldest, Joey and his wife Lauren, gave us another precious Baby boy, also named Joseph.
Everyone is doing great!
In spite of everything else that is happening in the world outside, Life Goes On and LIFE IS GOOD!
Thank You God, for your blessings to our Family!

Gateway Title Colors Outside The Lines
Coloring outside the lines is scary business
Sometimes, I don't have the courage for it all.
On my big, bold days though, I like to let my red crayon
just swirl out there with my purple, streaking across the page...
in perfect freedom no lines!
Coloring outside the lines is lonely too.
I'm the only one that doesn't get a gold star on my paper.
The teacher frowns. The kids call me weird or dumb or stupid.
Don't they see? I'm not behind them.
I'm actually out in front. Running free, outside the lines!
It would be nice if I had a friend that would color outside
the lines, sometimes, too
Will you?

SUPPORT REAL ESTATE HOMEBUYER'S TAX CREDIT EXTENSION
Notice from the American Land Title Association:
Help support an extension of the homebuyer tax credit closing deadline!
Ask your Senators and Representative to support an extension of the present home-buyer tax credit closing deadline from June 30, 2010, to September 30, 2010. Consumers who have entered into contracts to purchase a principal residence on or before April 30, 2010, and who have complied with all eligibility requirements, should receive the benefits of the homebuyer tax credit.
ALTA members report that in the markets with the highest volume of short sales, it is not uncommon for closing to take up to four months. The two month window afforded by the homebuyer tax credit is simply not long enough for current market conditions in the most severely distressed markets in the country. Many of the pending short sale transactions in the slowest markets may turn into foreclosures if they cannot close by the June 30 deadline. The National Association of REALTORS® estimates that between 55,000 and 75,000 prospective buyers may be unable to close by the current deadline.
Help support an extension of the present home-buyer tax credit closing deadline to September 30, 2010, for eligible borrowers by writing to Congress today!

News Letter News or Why It Is Different
We have been publishing "GATEWAY TITLE TALK" for over 3 years. We distributed it on line, a mailing, and 16,000 through a local weekly newspaper.The entire staff was helpful, supportive and the cost was reasonable. Great people to work with.
A few months ago the parent company asked us to change our format. I'm not going into the reason whyI won't change it so... that was the end of that.
Until we come up with another way to distribute the actual copy, we have it on line, recipes and all! You can read it www.gatewaytitle.co - it's just a click away on our home page.Best wishes and Happy Reading to all of our Friends!
