Okay, they're getting better! I got the approval in 20 days with this one AND the negotiator did not reject the termite work, bee-removal, water heater plumbing fix OR the take-away! This was Wachovia - Wells Fargo. My, how things have changed! I remember the first short sale listing I had with Wachovia as the lender..... 3 1/2 years ago. What a nightmare. The negotiator took 6 months to even talk to me. Had a BAD attitude, too. What nerve my 80-year-old sellers had to have refinanced their home just three years prior, got totally taken by a bogus contractor, and were now short-selling! Even after we explained their hardship - wife having 5th surgery, husband on oxygen - I got absolutely nowhere and the house was foreclosed on. AND they ended up selling it for $40,000 under the offer I ... 12/01/2010

Headline today's Thousand Oaks Acorn:UNLICENSED CONTRACTORS TO BE TRIED.  Eleven local non-licensed handymen are charged with bidding for contracting jobs over $500 without a contractors license. The men will appear in Superior Court and could face stiff fines and punishment. There are a number of good reasons for REALTOR's to recommend only Licensed Contractors and for homeowners to be AWARE of who is doing the work: 1. Hiring unlicensed contractors can result in Property damage by unknowlable, unskilled workers (I had a friend whose "new" back retaining wall crumbled in a heavy rain, pouring a muddy landslide onto the back of her home, damaging the stucco and shifting the entire foundation. They hired non-licensed contractors, who installed the ribar going in the wrong direction, beca... 09/09/2010

Looking for something fun to do in Ventura County this weekend? Why not see an award winning show called "Avenue Q?" The Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plazais featuring Avenue Q from January 19th-24th. Avenue Q is a comedy musical with live people and puppets. It is the story of a college grad who goes to New York City with a very limited budget. He discovers the only place he can afford to live is "Avenue Q." The story weaves its way around the neighbors who live on Avenue Q and deals with real life issues. The content in some of the scenes deals with sex, drinking and searching the web for porn. Therefore, this show is probably not appropriate for young children. There is also a disclaimer that some of the puppets are "nude." Now you're ready to go, right? Click the picture below to see a ... 01/18/2010

Thousand Oaks Ca, Keep fireplaces safe during the holidays! In the cold winter months... yes, even in Southern California, a fire in the fireplace gives us a reason to stay inside and get cozy and comfy, but these fires can also pose safety risks, reduce lung function, aggravate heart and lung diseases and trigger asthma.   A recent article in the Thousand Oaks Ca Acorn gives some terrific tips for keeping those fireplaces safe: Use a gas log. Never burn wood in a fireplace designed for a gas log. If burning wood, use dry, seasoned wood. Don't burn trash. Clean the chimney. A dirty chimney full of creosote is a chimney fire waiting to happen. Do not treat artificial logs the same as real logs. Never use gasoline, charcoal lighter or other fuel to light or relight a fire-the vapors can e... 12/30/2009

Have you ever worn a pair of shoes that made you miserable all day long? I have! Don't get me wrong! I love trendy, cute shoes that coordinate just right with my outfit... but they usually are soooooo very painful! By noon I am feeling like my toes are in a vice grip with every step I take. I am convinced this would be a great interrogation technique for prisoners! Just make someone walk a few hours in these trendy shoes and they will tell you anything and everything to get them off their feet! Agonizing torture! A couple of years ago I bought a pair of simple black pumps at Jack's shoes in Westlake Village Ca. After wearing them for a week I ran back to Jack's and bought the brown pair! They were sooooo very comfortable. Lately I find myself looking at my collection of shoes and tryin... 12/23/2009
