What buyers want and what Realtors want

At times it may seem these are opposing views, but really they are the same. As most things it comes down to communication. A buyer begins sharing what they want by describing the house of their dreams, immediately the Realtor starts showing them properties either by email or by taking them to homes. Neither discusses agency relationships, lending options or sharing of recent statistics and how these will affect the buyer's buying opportunities.

Iran ends naval maneuvers, still saber-rattling

Joseph Ginter, 63

We write this in Loving Memory of Joseph Michael Ginter. Joe was born to Harold Lee Ginter and Annie Ginter on February 11, 1950 in Moscow, Idaho. Joe was a hard working logger from the start of his early career! He fell his first tree at ten and hauled his first load to the mill at fourteen. He saw the big trees come off out of the mountains and built roads with his feet! When someone asked him in 1971 if he wanted to buy a Diamond Rio, his destiny than was set in motion! Joe is survived by his three children: Brian Lee Ginter, Cynthia Ann Marcella (Nick), and Neil Michael Ginter. They were his life’s pride. His brother Daniel Ginter (Vicki), and his sister Linda McGill (Murry), and his precious grandchildren: Kassandra Elizabeth Marcella, Grace Kelly Marcella, Coral Ginter, and Lucas James Marcella. Joe was a man of pride built on strong work ethics, love for his family, honesty, and dedication to his friends. God welcomed Joe back to Heaven on September 9, 2013 at 9:00 pm. To be our Guardian Angel to watch over all of us and to rejoin his parents, Harold and Annie , and his wife Cathy once again. Daddy you will forever be in our hearts and we will remember you always. A Memorial Service for Joe will be held at New Life Church ( 6068 W. Hayden Ave.) Rathdrum, Idaho on Sept. 28, 2013 at 2:00 pm. Immediately following his service there will be a potluck dinner at Rathdrum City Park. Bell Tower Funeral Home is in care of arrangements.
