93% of your clients prefer... Travel over any other incentives (even cash)!!! Imagine being able to send every client you close a transaction with on a vacation. Or walking into your next sales meeting and telling your sales force that the top producer for the month is going to Vegas for 3 days to recharge his or her batteries. Do you think that would increase your bottom line business?

 The next 6 months will be the sweet spot for purchasing. I suggest you take time to finish your financial house keeping. Pay off bills, Pay any liens or judgments, and limit your spending over the holidays.The best plan is to have a pre-approval, before you go house hunting. That will take all the uncertainty out of the experience.NAR is trying diligently to persuade the Senate to increase the FHA and Fannie Mae loan limits, before the end of the year.The Feds may have to lower the discount rate, one more time, this year. When you add all the factors together.....there is likely to be a tsunami of purchasing going on in 2008. Get their first!Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass,  it's about learning how to dance in the rain!!

When Captain Samuel S. Dunnells successfully steered his 105-ton river steamer Vaquero through upper Newport Bay in 1870, James and Robert McFadden rushed from Northern California by stagecoach to mark the inaugural voyage.Dunnells' trip cast new light on the bay, which many had said was too treacherous for travel. But the principal landowners in the area - the McFadden brothers and James Irvine - thought they had something after Dunnells' trip. A "new port," they mused, and the name stuck, according to the Newport Beach Historical Society.More than 100 years later, Newport Beach's harbor is crowded with pleasure, fishing and tour boats, and its streets are busy with shoppers browsing at Fashion Island mall, tourists enjoying Balboa bars on Balboa Island and surfers tackling The Wedge ...

    The One One Committee is hosting a golf tournament this year, it will be held at the Newport Country Club, along with a charity auction.  Dan Marcheano assures me that Golf Tournament will be one of the best events of the year.  The community has always shown great support for the Marines, and this event is no exception. The local hotels are helping out donating rooms for the Marines and their families.  The local wineries are helping generously, and as always, the community is donating items for the charity auction.   This Tournament is being held in place of "Mess Night" which was a charity event held for the Marines of the "1st Battalion - 1st Marines" of Camp Pendleton each year. It served around 500 people, 200 of which are Marines (at no cost to them). The One One committee ho...

FHA Reform passes House and Senate Banking Committee In the month of September, both the House of Representatives and the Senate Banking Committee passed versions of an FHA reform package that NAR has been strongly supporting for several months. The House version, entitled "Expanding American Homeownership Act of 2007" passed with a strong majority of 348-72, and includes provisions that would eliminate the 3% down payment requirement, increase the loan limits, streamline condominium purchases, and eliminate the cap on Home Equity Conversion mortgages (HECMs). The House bill also includes provisions for a National Affordable Housing Trust fund, and provisions allowing risk based pricing on FHA insured loans. A similar, but not as far reaching, bill passed the Senate Banking committee bu...

Start by shoring up your credit.Since you most likely will need to get a mortgage to buy a house, you must make sure your credit history is as clean as possible. A few months before you start house hunting, get copies of your credit report. Make sure the facts are correct, and fix any problems you discoverDon't buy if you can't stay put.If you can't commit to remaining in one place for at least a few years, then owning is probably not for you, at least not yet. With the transaction costs of buying and selling a home, you may end up losing money if you sell any soonerDon't worry if you can't put down the usual 20 percent.There are a variety of public and private lenders who, if you qualify, offer low-interest mortgages that require a down payment as small as 3 percent of the purchase pri...

It really is becoming a better time to buy a home. Over the past two days, actions by both houses of Congress to reform FHA programs, and the Federal Reserve to decrease interest rates, should make borrowing more affordable and money more available. With reduced housing prices and increased housing inventory, interest rates that are near historic lows, and now with Fannie's and Freddie's increased ability to lend, we may see positive movement in the housing market," said Combs  Information provided by: The National Association of REALTORS®, "The Voice for Real Estate," is America's largest trade association, representing more than 1.3 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.

I am sure you will agree being at the right place at the right time happens very rarely.  It is my great pleasure to inform you that Mr. Bernanke, Federal Reserve chairperson has lowered the prime by .50 basis points and there is an expectation of further reductions in the months ahead.                              This is the time to analyze your credit position. By doing so now, will allow you to take full advantage of the interest rate reductions in the near futureThis rate reduction will lower your monthly payment on homes loans and  lines of credit.

Bush Announces FHA-Secure Plan to Assist Subprime Borrowers On August 31, 2007, President Bush announced a new initiative called FHASecure, which will give the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) flexibility to help more families keep their homes in light of the decline of the subprime market and impending interest rate adjustments affecting numerous borrowers in both the subprime and Alt-A markets. The FHASecure program will help people who have not made all of their payments on time because of rising mortgage payments but who otherwise have good credit. NAR applauded President Bush's statement of support for giving homeowners greater flexibility to refinance their loans through the FHA. At a white house conference call on the initiative, the administration specifically signaled out N...
