RADON AWARENESS

Sterling, Illinois Real Estate- Brian Corwell (RE/MAX Sauk Valley) — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 15:19:17 -0600

For Immediate Release: For Further Information Contact:

January 10, 2008 Brian Corwell 815-625-3722

Radon Disclosure Requirements Begin Jan. 1

Lee & Whiteside Counties, IL - When a buyer and seller sign a contract on residential real estate property in Illinois on or after January 1, 2008, the new Illinois Radon Awareness Act will apply to the sales transaction. According to the new law, the seller must supply the buyer with two documents before the buyer will become bound on a contract to purchase the property. The first is a pamphlet from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) entitled "Radon Testing Guidelines for Real Estate Transactions." The second is a form to sign called "Disclosure of Information on Radon Hazards."

According to IEMA, radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that comes from naturally occurring uranium in the soil and is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.

"REALTORS^® are working to educate consumers about the new radon law which affects certain residential real estate sales transactions entered on or after January 1, 2008," said Brian Corwell, president of the Sauk Valley Association of REALTORS®. "The law aims to boost radon awareness and does not require a radon test."

Although the new law does not require sellers to test for radon in the home or to reduce the concentration if elevated levels are found, the seller and buyer are free to negotiate whether further testing or remediation are necessary. In most cases, a seller will simply provide the two documents to the buyer before the contract takes effect.

The law only applies to residential properties with "not less than one nor more than four residential dwelling units." There are some exemptions including residential real estate property transfers that result from the following:

•· a court order

•· transfer to a mortgagor to a mortgagee after foreclosure

•· to a fiduciary through an estate, guardianship, conservatorship or trust

•· a transfer between co-owners

•· a transfer from an estate according to provisions in a will, or to statue where there is no will

•· transfer to a spouse or other blood relation

•· a relocation company who has taken the title, where the original seller has provided the required disclosures

•· to or from a governmental body

In addition, since the law is not effective until January 1, 2008, it only applies to residential transactions entered on or after this date. If you have a contract pending that was signed prior to January 1, 2008, the law will not apply.

"Your REALTOR^®can provide you with the required disclosure form and information about where to find the radon pamphlet from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency. To learn more, visit http://www.radon.illinois.gov/ or log onto http://www.yourillinoishome.com/ for other tips for preparing your home for sale," said Corwell.

Whiteside County Foreclosure information

Sterling, Illinois Real Estate- Brian Corwell (RE/MAX Sauk Valley) — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 14:47:14 -0600

For Immediate Release: For Further Information Contact:

January 10, 2008 Brian Corwell 815-625-3722

Get Foreclosure Information at www.YourIllinoisHome.com

Lee & Whiteside Counties, IL - If you are a homeowner at risk of foreclosure you need to know there are programs and services that can help but you must act quickly and before you are three months delinquent on your mortgage payment, according to Beth Llewellyn, CEO of the Partnership for HomeOwnership and a U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-certified homeownership counselor with over 12 years of experience helping lower-income families achieve homeownership. Llewellyn's information for homeowners facing foreclosure can be found online at http://www.yourillinoishome.com/, a consumer site for buyers and sellers developed by the Illinois Association of REALTORS®.

"Foreclosures in Illinois are a nine-month judicial process but after 90 days the lender will turn the delinquent loan over to foreclosure attorneys and then the fees really start to mount up," says Llewellyn. "The key is to not ignore letters from your lender. There are ways to work through a bad situation if you act quickly. A certified foreclosure intervention counselor can also negotiate with a lender, servicer or private mortgage insurance provider to restructure the loan if it can be determined the homeowner has the financial wherewithal to keep the home in the future."

Other options for people facing foreclosure include:

§ "Forbearance" whereby a lender lets a borrower pay less than the full amount of the mortgage or skip a few payments if there is a reasonable plan to become current on the loan.

§ "Reinstatement" is another option if the homeowner is able to make a payment that covers all of the previous late payments.

§ A "repayment plan" from a lender will allow a borrower who has fallen behind to make additional payments each month until the amount past due is paid.

To address the current wave of foreclosures, some state and local governments and nonprofit organizations are offering financial assistance. At-risk homeowners are encouraged to contact a local REALTOR® or a HUD-certified financial counselor to find out where to go for help. Llewellyn recommends the following:

§ U.S. Housing and Urban Development homeowner counseling, 1-800-569-4287, www.hud.gov

§ Neighborhood Works America Center for Foreclosure Solutions, 1-888-995-HOPE (4673), www.nw.org

§ Illinois Legal Aid, www.illinoislegalaid.org

Another option for the homeowner is to sell the home. Oftentimes in these situations the sale will be a "short sale in lieu of foreclosure." A "short sale" is an industry term for when the owner of the home does not have enough equity in the property and not enough cash or liquid assets to be able to sell the property, pay off liens and selling expenses (e.g., property taxes, transfer taxes, real estate commissions) and provide a clear title to the purchaser.

According to Llewellyn, a foreclosure will stay on the credit report for at least 10 years as it is a court action similar to bankruptcy. However, foreclosure can do even more damage to a credit report than bankruptcy. Ultimately, if you attempt to get a home loan in the future you must prove to the lender that the foreclosure happened due to something beyond your control such as job loss or illness.

"It's ideal if the homeowner who chooses to sell can work with a professional REALTOR® before they are delinquent three months," said Brian Corwell, president of the Sauk Valley Association of REALTORS®. "Within this short window of time, a professional REALTOR® might assist in negotiations with the lender to place the property on the market and possibly save the buyer any equity left, as well as prevent a foreclosure on their credit file."

Semi clean joke...at least no bad words

Sterling, Illinois Real Estate- Brian Corwell (RE/MAX Sauk Valley) — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 09:06:49 -0600

This joke came to me from a friend, I am sure it is an oldie, but it should bring a chuckle to you.

An Irishman goes to confession in St. Patrick's Catholic Church. "Father, it has been one month since my last confession. I had sex with Nookie Green twice last month."

The priest tells the sinner, "You are forgiven. Go out and say three Hail Mary's."

Soon after, another Irishman enters the confessional. "Father, it has been two months since my last confession. I've had sex with Nookie Green twice a week for the last two months."

This time the priest questions, "Who is Nookie Green?"

"A new woman in the neighborhood," the sinner replies.

"Very well," sighs the priest. "Go and say ten Hail Mary's."

At Mass the next morning, as the priest prepares to deliver his sermon, a tall, voluptuous, drop dead gorgeous redhead woman enters the sanctuary. The eyes of every man in the church fall upon her as she slowly sashays up the aisle and sits down right in front of the priest. Her dress is green and very short, with matching shiny emerald green shoes. The priest and altar boy gasp, as the woman in the matching green shoes and dress sits with her legs slightly spread apart.

The priest turns to the altar boy and whispers, "Is that Nookie Green?"

The bug-eyed altar boy can't believe his ears but replies, "No, I think it's just the reflection off her shoes!
