SHORT SALE HOUSE LA VERNE CA We have created the Real Estate Short Sale Formula for under-water and distressed homeowners in La Verne, California. La Verne has many homes and families facing foreclosure, but they don't know if they would qualify for a short sale of their La Verne CA home to avoid complete financial devastation. What Does a Real Estate Short Sale Mean for La Verne CA Homeowners? The definition of a real estate short sale means that the La Verne CA house is about to be in foreclosure due to the default in payments of the mortgage. The owner of the La Verne home sells it for less than what they owe for the property. It is far better for their credit to sell it short than to lose the house to foreclosure. But Do I Qualify For a La Verne CA Short Sale? Everyone's situation i... 12/05/2012

The Other Side of The Coin - Part 2 Okay so here's my second post on our personal experience of short-selling our home and finding a home to lease.  It's always nice for a seller or buyer to know that we understand what they are actually going through and how they are feeling.  And I especially now can understand the buyers perspective and the sellers perspective from a whole new viewpoint. (If you missed Part 1, click it to read the first installment.) My husband, in all his wisdom, has decided that he needs to read every piece of mail offering to short sell, modify or otherwise help with our house situation.  He even sits through the continuous phone calls to hear their spiel in order to  help tell me how to better do my job.  (Like I haven't been doing this for a long time now...).  ... 10/02/2012

Kickoff Time for Summer Reading Programs In La Verne Okay, so it's time, now that graduations are over and school is out, for parents to find things for their kids to do over the summer.  One of the really great suggestions is Library reading programs and La Verne has one of the best. The library in  La Verne  is on the  Los Angeles County system  so it has many benefits.  Did you know you can ask for a book from another library in the system and they deliver it to  La Verne  for you?  Seems like a pretty great plan to me!  And there are plenty of books available for "check out" for your eReader. And as for the children's program, it will have it's big kickoff on June 15th at 2PM with The Wildlife Company. There is an animae club every other Saturday morning, starting today, June 9th at... 06/09/2012

Not to mention, I believe he is getting a scholarship tonight.  Honestly, they are DA BOMB! And as for us, this is five out of five getting through high school and some are almost through college... so it's absolutely time to celebrate!Congratulations Michael, Class of 2012!  06/06/2012

La Verne State of The City and School District Okay, so I was reading an article about the State of the City and School District in the City of La Verne. Mayor Don Kendrick along with Bonita Unified Superintendent of Schools (which covers both San Dimas and La Verne) Gary Rapkin made a joint presentation to share how things are going along. The City of La Verne portion stated that there are major budget cuts coming due to the fact that the federal government has dissolved all of the Redevelopment Agencies.  This will lower the budget for this year by $4M and then $2M in the following years.
