Sellers in Sacramento who are looking for a Sacramento short sale agent should be very careful whom they choose because there are "fake it till you make it" agents out there. These are novices who are erroneously calling themselves a short sale specialist. How do I know this? Well, some attend a 3-hour class down at the Board and slap the title of certified short sale agent on their business cards. A seminar doesn't replace experience. It seems like everybody and their grandmothers are hopping aboard the short sale wagon these days. I also know it because a website entrepreneur contacted me yesterday to offer me an extraordinary opportunity. He asked if I wanted to be listed on a new website, shortsalesguide.com, as one of his two exclusive Sacramento short sale experts. It's so exclusi... 08/12/2010

The last thing you want to do is waste time especially in a market like this.  Here are two simple things to help you locate and purchase that perfect multifamily property regardless of size and price.   1-    Understand your current financial ability.  How much money do you have to invest this is not about LTV , rates or money you can raise.  Its about your cold hard cash.  While there are multifamily programs that will go as high 85%  the majority of  lenders are financing around 60%-75%.    This will save you plenty of time by not looking at property out of your price range.    2-    Know your limitations and do not focus on a the spending amount. Multifamily can be from a simple duplex to a 300 unit apartment complex. Even with a management company in place mul... 07/19/2010

Mortgage Broker or Bank Loan Officer--What's the Difference? When you are home shopping in Roseville, California, you can get bombarded by mortgage people wanting to handle the financing for you.  If you visit a new home subdivision, you may hear that you have to use their approved loan person.  That's not true nor is it ethical.  Put an offer in on a foreclosed property and you might be told you have to get pre-qualified with a certain lender, then get pressured to use that same lender if your offer is accepted. After you submit a loan application to one lender, you may get phone calls from others trying to get you to work with them. So, what is the truth?  You can use whatever lender you choose.  That's the law.  If someone on the seller's side balks about your financing, find anothe... 07/17/2010

A great real estate industry website is a great foundation for marketing your business, but it won't do the job all together, will it? Now days, in addition to having a website, you also need a Facebook fan page, a blog or two, status on Yelp, and a twitter following. And that's just the stuff you need to update before you leave the house in the morning! Don't get me wrong, social media is great, and it's wonderful to have so many people "like" Elite Signing Services, but I still believe that face to face interation is still necessary in today's real estate market. My husband and I  own a nationwide Mobile Notary company that my husband started ten years ago. We offer notary services across the country, and make sure to only use the most Elite notaries available. The "nationwide" part i... 07/15/2010
