How to Avoid a Paradise CA Foreclosure Contact the Lender Absolutely the first step to avoid a Paradise CA foreclosure is to contact the lender and let them know your situation. In many cases, they can work with you to temporarily modify payment terms until your situation is resolved. Never, ever ignore late notices, letters or calls from your lender. They would much prefer to work together with you to resolve the situation, but will not hesitate to begin foreclosure proceedings if it appears that you are unwilling to work with them to avoid your Paradise foreclosure. Redo Your Mortgage If you're still current on your payments, or not too far behind, refinancing may be a viable option for you. Refinancing your Paradise home will pay off your current mortgage and in many cases lowe...
Just a Reminder to Spring Forward this weekend On Sunday, March 14, 2010 at 2 a.m., Daylight Saving Time begins in the United States. Every Spring we move our clocks one hour ahead and "lose" an hour during the night and each Fall we move our clocks back one hour and "gain" an extra hour. But Daylight Saving Time (and not Daylight Savings Time with an "s") wasn't just created to confuse our schedules. The phrase "Spring forward, Fall back" helps people remember how Daylight Saving Time affects their clocks. At 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March, we set our clocks forward one hour ahead of Standard Time ("Spring forward"). We "Fall back" at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November by setting our clock back one hour and thus returning to Standard Time. Have a great day! Tammy Vertrees
Real Estate for Today’s Paradise California Home Sellers For Sale by Owner vs. Using a Realtor Multiple Listing Service Your listing contract should specify whether or not the house will be listed with the local Paradise MLS (multiple listing service). It is definitely in your interest to have the house listed. This is because your sales force is automatically multiplied by however many agents are members of the local Paradise MLS. If your house is not listed, then you only have one real estate agent working for you instead of many. This is where selling "by owner" generally fails. Owners see that an agent puts a sign in the yard, prepares brochures, holds open houses, advertises in the paper and on the internet and they think this is how houses are sold. It is easy to understand why ...
