Yesterday, Debbie and I went to Ramos Realty on the corner of East 4th and Taylor street to see if we could get an interview with an agent for our project. I had never noticed the Century 21 office until last week, so I thought that stopping in was worth a shot. It turned out to be a great success! We got an interview with real estate agent Anthony Ramos, who was more than willing to help. He talked to us a lot about the foreclosed homes in the area, the values of surrounding properties, the housing market in general and the effect the bad economy has had on the buying and selling of homes. He even offered to take us through a foreclosed home, so we are planning on meeting him this Friday.
It was nice to have someone who was really willing to talk to us. Obviously, he is a real estate agent, so this is his job. But he did take a good 20 minutes out of his lunch break to sit down with us and educate us about the parts of the buying and selling process with which Debbie and I were unfamiliar. He printed out some things about the foreclosed homes that we are going to see to help us to better understand the process of foreclosure. Debbie and I are certainly excited about the new direction that our project has taken. Getting pictures and video of the foreclosed home will be a huge asset to our project!
