Esperanza's GUIDE TO BUYING A HOME..GETTING TO THE FINISH LINE..Step 3 and 4 Step 3. Getting an appraisal Once you have determined that there are no defects on title and all inspections concerns have been resolved, it is time to order an appraisal. An appraisal is an estimate of the value of a property made by a qualified professional. The appraisal of your prospective home is as important as your credit history in obtaining a mortgage. After all, the property you are purchasing serves as the collateral for the loan. Although the primary goal of the appraisal is to justify the lender's investment, it also protects you from overpaying. Your lender will generally hire the appraiser and will charge you as the buyer a fee for the service. If the appraisal falls short of the amount you wish ...

  A typical maintenance check-up by a contractor should include the following: * Check thermostat settings to ensure the cooling and heating system keeps you comfortable when you are home and saves energy while you are away. *Tighten all electrical connections and measure voltage and current on motors. Faulty electrical connections can cause unsafe operation of your system and reduce the life of major components. * Lubricate all moving parts. Parts the lack lubrication cause friction in motors and increase the amount of electricity you use. *Check and inspect the condensate drain in your central air conditioner, furnace and/or heat pump (when in cooling mode). A plugged drain can cause water damage in the house and affect indoor humidity levels. * Check controls of the system to ensure...

  *A Sealed envelope- put in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a knife under the flap. The envelope      can then be resealed. *Use empty toilet paper roll to store appliances cords. It keeps them neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to. *To remove old wax from a grass candle holder, put in the freezer for a few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The wax will fall out. *Crayon marks on wall? This worked wonderfully! All you need to do is dip a damp rag into a carton of baking soda and it comes off with a little effort (elbow grease that is!). *Permanent marker on appliances/countertops (like store receipt blue!) can be removed with rubbing alcohol on a paper towel. *Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydr...

    Mechanics' Liens  The subject of Mechanics' Liens is a complex one, as evidenced by the fact that over 200 sections of the California Civil Code deal with the subject. It is not the purpose of this paper to offer legal evidence or even to attempt to summarize all aspects of the current laws pertaining to Mechanics' Liens, but rather to clarify Progressive Title Insurance underwriting guidelines and requirements concerning these liens. A Mechanics' Lien may be made by a person providing work, materials or services to improve real property. Thus, delivery men, lumber yards, surveyors, inspectors or others besides the actual contractors or construction workers can file such a lien. The claim of the lien starts when the work is commenced or when the goods or services are delivered. For...

This year I am starting early with my flag preparation. Like putting the wooden stick into the flag along with my business card. Working on the flags brings to my mind 3 years ago on the 4th of July it was 105 degrees I am not kidding it was 105 degrees.  I had 300 houses to go and when I was half way through I was suddenly approached by an old man who stopped his car and start talking to me. I didn't hear what he was saying because he was too far away.  As I was approaching I started to see that he was very upset and he start telling me, you again with your flags, I am so tired of you invading our neighborhood with your flags and then he mentioned somebody else's name.He took me by surprise and the only thing I could say to him was I am not the person that you mentioned.  My name is Es...

  Title companies at times have to deal with properties where the owner has passed away. Due to that fact title companies frequently work with the heirs or devisees of the decedent and/or their attorneys to make certain that their proposed real estate transactions are insurable. Do you have a plan? Everyone does, wheather created by design or by default. Even if you have not made out a will or a trust, you still have a plan- a plan dictated by the laws of the State Of California. Making a will is not a way to avoid "probate". the court procedure that changes the legal ownership of your property after your death. Probate makes sure it is your last valid will, appoints the executor named in your will, and supervises the executor's work. Title companies are frequently asked "while real pr...

Protecting Your Home:Locks, Lights and Good Neighbors   One of the crimes most frequently reported to the police is residential burglary. It's also the most preventable. It doesn't take much or cost much to out-smart most burglars. They're usually not professionals, but rather people taking advantage of an easy target. Burglars may do more than steal things. If they're surprised by someone coming home or if they choose a home that's occupied, someone may get hurt. Tips on Safeguarding Your Home Make sure all exterior doors have good locks-at least dead-bolt locks with a 1" throw. Always lock up when you go out, even if only for a few minutes. Secure sliding glass doors with bars or locks, or put a broom handle in the door track. Make sure your windows have good locks, especially those a...

How color can affect your mood!  Knowing the meaning of colors and how they can affect our mood is very important.  I love colors!... life is in color            As a Realtor it is essential to know the importance of colors and how we can use them in our daily life.   Also at the same time our clients can benefit by knowing the correct use of colors that can make a successful sale or easily affect and interfere in a potential sale   I remember years before I was a Realtor, back when I was a buyer, we were relocating home and business and we needed a bigger house. Our agent was showing me houses and as part of the buying team I was designated as the one to find the right house. Almost every day I looked for house that would be right for us.   About the time I was starting to get tired an...
