the mother and daughter realtly team: Hopefully-Homeowner Bill of Rights will heat up before the hot summer! - 05/19/12 02:14 AM
The Homeowner's Bill of Rights - does it just make sense?
Is it true that criminals come out in the summer time?  Well Summer is right around the corner!  Hopefully, the Homeowner Bill of Rights will heat up before the summer.  Why summer concern?  The heat will make more people seek shelter in the vacant homes - especially the ones with running water - in the hotter spots of California.
Its something about that cooper wiring that turns a criminal on!!!!
Now, a new concern is on the rise with empty and abandoned foreclosed homes, which are being taken over … (2 comments)

the mother and daughter realtly team: Homeowners: Requesting a loan modification is not an easy task: Bottle neck: Incomplete file - 04/25/12 10:06 AM
 
Homeowners: Requesting a loan modification is not an easy task:  Bottle neck:  Incomplete file
 
Incomplete file:  I was going to try to define this but in the reality of loan modification requests, there is no clear definition! 
 
What is clear:  If you have an (incomplete file) – a file that is missing documents, such as missing one required document, the document manager will put notes of an incomplete file and move on to the next file they have to review.
 
At this point (or a few days later), a generic letter is automatically mailed to … (0 comments)

the mother and daughter realtly team: How do you know when your flip deal has flopped? - 02/05/12 09:28 AM
Had an incident with a flip property. The seller purchased the property at a steal of a price, did some fixing up and with each nail he must have been thinking that he could get more and more for that property --- and when he hammered that last nail and cleaned up the place - he was certain it was worth way more than what it was.  So he set out to sell and not give in to anything lower than what he wanted.
When the appraisal came in -- it was lower than what this seller was asking for this … (2 comments)

the mother and daughter realtly team: Stockton Short Sale | Not Afraid of Virginia Wolf or a Short Sale... bring them on! - 09/05/11 11:42 AM
I am not afraid of Virginia Wolf or short sales! Said the big bad real estate agent from Stockton, CA.  I thought we had lost a short sale because the buyer walked while in escrow and the property has been threatening trustee sale for a while now.  So as much as I am not a "give up" agent... I thought I had lost this one.  But no, wait... said the lender hold on and put it back on the market and lower the price.
Now who does that?  I mean an agent would do that but to have the lender suggest … (1 comments)

the mother and daughter realtly team: ..attention short sale negotiator... you are in the middle of reviewing the file - right? ...then why foreclose before you finish reviewing? - 09/04/11 06:43 PM
It beats the heck out of me why a negotiator would not request/ or just do to extend the sales date if they are the ones that are reviewing the file!! Servicer refuses to stop a scheduled foreclosure sale on a borrower's house while the borrower is being evaluated for HAMP/HAFA.
If you engage in short sales you know that it is very hard in most cases, to get an extention.  I mean it is right next to a act of God to get a postpondment for a trustee sales date.  This should not be because the bank is aware of … (1 comments)

the mother and daughter realtly team: Homeowners | If the investor of your first lien is GSE - you may qualify for HAFA! - 09/04/11 01:10 AM
I hope this is not happening but for some reason, I believe that it is.  Homeowner call the lender to ask them about the HAFA program... (this is a Fannie Mae) property owner.  The homeowner wants to be considered for the HAFA program.  HAFA stands for Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives. The homeowner is told that the lender does not offer HAFA program. The truth of the matter is the investor is a GSE.  Now this is a GSE mind you.  GSE is short for Government Servicer such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
So sure they do HAFA. GSE stands for … (0 comments)

the mother and daughter realtly team: ARE YOU READY FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO BE YOUR LANDLORD? - 09/02/11 03:41 PM
The talk has been softer and lower - just above a whisper --- none-the-less there has been talk for a while.  Now the noise is louder (Government might turn foreclosures into rentals) its louder and louder and usually this means it is almost a done deal. If we do not scream that we think this is a bad idea for the economy (to say the least), communities and for the homeowners that have really suffered a hardship and just need a loan modification or some assistance -- instead of getting a foreclosure on their record and then being able to rent back (until … (3 comments)

the mother and daughter realtly team: Stockton Home Buyers| Home Warranty| get your umbrella at closing - 08/31/11 12:31 PM
Do  you offer home warranty programs to your buyers?  This is important and it is a good practice to have a home warranty program for your buyers.  Some agents will not offer any incentives to their buyers and then others will.  Why is it important that your practice be to make sure all your buyers obtain a home warranty policy with close? 
Well, do you like getting those calls from your client after they have moved in and "things are not working properly"?  Did you know that Errors and Omissions Insurance companies ask this question:  Do you offer Home Warranty programs … (0 comments)

the mother and daughter realtly team: Stockton Home Owners| " I can't find my mortgage statement" is common but not good! - 08/28/11 11:10 PM
The other day I was talking to a homeowner that indicated that she needed help.  When I explained what she needed to work on gathering for me - she said right out ... I just do not know where those papers are.  It has been a spinning couple of years and  I truly have not been keeping up with the papers, mail or calls that has been coming at us. 
I explained to this homeowner that the documents are most important in order to get the ball rolling and time is of the essence.

the mother and daughter realtly team: Stockton Home Owners| " I can't Afford My Current Mortgage" is definitely a Hardship - 08/28/11 10:50 PM
When you hear a Stockton homeowner say "I can't afford my current mortgage" you know right away that they have a real problem.  And you wonder why the lenders are not paying more attention to what the homeowners are saying.  If they are saying they cannot afford their mortgage --- this usually means that the mortgage is not going to get paid.
Some of the problems that cause the mortgage to get behind:
My cash reserves is so low - you can't squeeze out another mortgage payment Low liquid assets Insufficient funds in the bank Basic living expenses are out of … (0 comments)

the mother and daughter realtly team: Stockton Home Owners| "My Expenses have increased" - can be a Hardship - 08/28/11 10:39 PM
Anytime your expenses get out of control and become more than what you are bringing in... there is a problem!  In many cases this has turned into a major problem for so many homeowners.  Especially in the Stockton, CA area - ground zero at one point.  The problem is still not over and there are few homeowners that have suffered through this crisis that are any closer to recovery.
This is where we as real estate professionals come in - we should extend our help in the community recovery system as well.  Some of the examples of expenses increase:
