I’m sitting in my basement tonight with my nephew Nicholas watching a Little Feet concert on TV. Nicolas is 16 and hadn’t heard of Little Feet before and he loved them. Experiencing this really made me think of the old and the new. I thought about the good times gone and the good times to come. It was exciting turning a much younger person on to something old school to me. When I was his age I loved Little Feet. So for those of you that haven’t heard of Little Feet you should check them out! Or you will never understand the point of my closing sentences.

So what does this have to do with a real estate blog what so ever? Homebanc. Homebanc filed for bankruptcy this week and pretty much shut the doors. At one time Homebanc was the hottest mortgage company around and they dominated the Atlanta market. They bought life and energy to our market and pretty much ate every body’s lunch that tried to go toe to toe with them as far as mortgages’ went. They did business as a humble giant for years! They were a wonderful company to work with, as well as work for. I‘ve never had a better working relationship with any mortgage company. Homebanc treated my customers as royalty and gave great rates and service unmatched by anyone. I truly hate to see them go. I miss those days of quick easy approvals and on time closings.

You may ask what’s my point to this rambling blog? The older I get the more I love to see the old still being around (Little Feet)and I hate it when the old go away. I loved seeing Little Feet still kicking it. I wish Homebanc was still kicking it. As Little Feet sang “There’s a fat man in the bath tub…. I hear him moan…I hear him moan. It made me think of all my friends at Homebanc! So my friends you now have to put on your Sailing Shoes!! There’s life after Homebanc.

Good luck to all of you.
