I was happy to read today on the California Association of Realtors website, the folllowing article about their involvement in helping short sales progress quicker and smoother.  This is a process that takes far too long and has far too many hoops to jump thru.  It can be extremely frustrating to buyers, sellers and agent alike.  I'm glad thie association is getting behind us and supporting us.  Also the National Association of Realtors is doing the same.  FROM THE CAR WEBSITE BELOW: C.A.R.'s efforts to address the issues related to the difficulties of the short sale process are starting to gain traction.  Late last week, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced it has directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to establish consistent policies and processes for the servicing of deli...

You Aren’t Eligible for a Short Sale If You Don’t Own A HomeNot long ago, I found myself making a much dreaded phone call to a potential short sale seller:  “I’m sorry but you don’t own your home anymore, so you are not eligible for a short sale.”  He had no idea -- he thought they granted him another extension.  He met with me just three weeks prior and I asked whether he wanted to list his home as a short sale that day.  He declined, thinking that he still had time.  By the time he called me out to list the property it was already in the bank’s hands although neither he nor I knew.  The following Monday, I called a title company and found out that his home had been sold at foreclosure auction.  And then I had to make that call.It happens more often that you think.  Potential short sa...

Tired of Waiting For YOUR Government Bailout?  You Might Want to Try A Short Sale Instead. Tired of waiting on the government to save you?  Thus far there hasn't been much to help the average homeowner in distress save their home.  It doesn't take a genius to figure out what it would take to keep people in their homes.  Principal reduction coupled with interest rate relief.  Yet it just hasn't happened for the large majority of people seeking relief.  A mortgage cram down as a part of bankruptcy was proposed and then rejected.  This would have allowed a bankruptcy court judge to write down a mortgage to an affordable level as a part of a bankruptcy proceeding -- and it would have kept a lot of people in their homes.  But, the banks lobbied hard (maybe using some of that bail out money) ...

5 Common Mistakes the Central Coast FSBO Seller Can Avoid   As a former FSBO seller turned real estate agent, I feel a certain affinity for FSBO sellers.  I bought my first piece of property from a FSBO seller and two years later, I sold that same condo the same way I bought it:  FSBO.   I then sold my next two properties without listing on the MLS, by offering a broker co-op to buyer's agents.  I learned a lot from those experiences, and also my subsequent experience as a real estate broker.  I am not anti-FSBO, and feel that I can offer some fair and honest criticism of FSBO sellers, as well as point out some common mistakes they make: 1)      Overpricing.   If I could make this numbers 1 through 5, I think I would.  This is the most common criticism of FSBOs, and I must admit I thin...

    Woods Weekly Mews March 23, 2011     Some of you may have seen this image/video of a dog, standing vigil over a wounded friend after the devastating earthquake & tsunami which recently struck Japan.  This image serves as a reminder of the bond our animals share with us (and with each other). Even in the aftermath of disaster, overwhelmed by fear, tired, wet, cold and alone--friendship knows no bounds. Thank you for your friendship and support as we work to provide a premier level of care for all of the homeless dogs and cats of Woods Humane Society.

Buyers Are Looking at My Loan Balance! One of the market realities I go over with potential sellers in the Orcutt CA, Nipomo CA & Arroyo Grande CA real estate market is the fact that once their home is put on the market, everyone is going to be looking at their loan balance.  During the boom, buyers seemed less concerned about what sellers were making - maybe because they expected to make more.  But now, even on short sales, buyers want to know what the seller paid and what loans were taken out on the property.  Of course, your exact loan balance doesn't show up in public record, that's private information between you and your lender; but in Santa Barbara County and San Luis Obispo County, typically the original loan amount will show up and buyers can and will make a guesstimate from th...
