fullerton real estate: Happy New Year! Good Bye 2011, Hello 2012! Fullerton Realtor 30 Day Challenge - 01/03/12 10:29 AM
Happy New Year! Wow, the time sure flew. As I look back, I am happy and also a little guilty in saying that 2011 was a good year for me. Guilty because I feel bad that so many friends were eager to see it over.
I have so much to be thankful for and though there were some rough spots in 2011, especially for some dear friends, I really can't complain. I helped so many folks realize the dream of home ownership, while helping others sell homes to move on to the next chapter of their lives.
Late 2009, I brought … (2 comments)

fullerton real estate: Is Your Home is Worth Less Than You Owe? You Might Still Be Able to Refinance! - 10/25/11 11:08 PM
Feeling frustrated because your Fullerton home is upside down and you can’t take advantage of these record low interest rates but your watching everyone one else around you catch a break? There is a chance that you CAN take advantage; read on!
HARP Refinance Program ExpandedBorrowers who are current on their home loans may be able to refinance for lower interest rates, even if they are seriously upside down.

fullerton real estate: Back From Brazil with a New Housing Perspective (Among Other Things). - 08/22/11 10:44 AM
I am sorry that I have been out of the loop here for a while but I was away! I hope you don’t mind that this article will be a little more personal than usual but I just had to share that I was fortunate enough to travel to Brazil! This wasn’t just a vacation but a home build through Habitat for Humanity and we built three little homes!
This was such an amazing, emotional and rewarding experience. For me, it just brought to light what a privilege home ownership (among other things) really is. Somewhere along the way I think … (7 comments)

fullerton real estate: Fullerton Real Estate - Dear Fullerton, I Owe You an Apology... - 03/21/11 11:20 PM
Dear Fullerton,
I owe you an apology.
I should have warned you. I should have been running around with my hair on fire. I should have been shouting from the rooftops. But I was afraid you would think I was just another real estate agent trying to make a sale.
After all, it is my solemn obligation, my duty to you and to our community to sound the alarm when things happen that will affect your well being. In this case, my neglect may have cost you dearly. Let me explain...
If you would have bought a house in November with … (3 comments)

fullerton real estate: Mold Can Be One Ugly Four Letter Word in Real Estate! - 03/17/11 10:44 PM
Growing up, I spent a good part of my childhood in Oregon. In the winter it was cold and wet to say the least. I remember the bedroom of our old house was always freezing and damp and my sister and I got out the bleach to clean the mold off the walls. Sure, it was a little gross and a pain, but it is just how it was. As soon as the weather warmed up, the mold went away.
Now that I am in real estate sales; it's a whole different story. M-O-L-D....It is a four letter word and will … (2 comments)

fullerton real estate: Fullerton and Orange County Renters BEWARE - Fullerton Real Estate - 02/21/11 06:25 PM
AHHHH! So many scams; so little time. I feel as if this is all I write about any more! Geez, maybe I should start a column called - The Weekly Real Estate Scam! As if we don't have enough to worry about with the economy, default mortgages and multiple other scams; renting out a property by a fake owner is a growing trend.
I have seen it time and time again; some scoundrel finds a lease listing posted by a real estate agent and posts it as their own. They take the information, the pictures, everything from the agent and posts … (0 comments)

fullerton real estate: Fullerton Real Estate - What if your Home Lost 75% of it's Value in Three Years? - 01/17/11 11:08 PM
Wow! Could you imagine if your home lost 75% of it's value in three years??!! It happened in one California city but thankfully, I am not talking about Fullerton or even an Orange County city for that matter.
According to a Los Angeles Times article (and I tried to search their site to get it in it's entirety but no such luck); California was hit especially hard leading the nation in loss of home value. Number One was Stockton with a 75% loss...wow! In the greater Orange County area, we have seen a decrease in home values of 36% in the past three years.

fullerton real estate: A Wild Rate Ride! When Rates Increase; Affordability Decreases Even if Prices Go Down! Fullerton Real Estate - 12/22/10 11:25 AM
"I think prices will fall so I am in no hurry to buy". Have you heard this before? Maybe you have even echoed this sentiment. It's common these days and really, there is nothing wrong with this line of thinking.
But let's think for a moment about affordability vs. price. Home ownership has been at the highest level of affordability in decades. Rates have been the lowest ever. So is it to better to buy when rates are low or when prices are? It depends but waiting can sometimes be costly.
Interest rates have taken a jump in the past couple … (2 comments)

fullerton real estate: Fullerton Real Estate - So Why do I need to Qualify with the Seller's Bank Too? - 11/04/10 09:59 PM
If you are a buyer that has made an offer to purchase a bank owned home (also known as an REO) chances are you have asked yourself that exact question.
As a potential home buyer, you are already pre-approved with your own lender (at least I hope you are)who has patiently explained to you the programs, options, rates and the entire loan process. I mean it was tough enough to go get him/her everything she needed in the first place. Your head is spinning, you are swimming in a sea of numbers, payments and costs all after giving up your most personal information, the information that you … (8 comments)

fullerton real estate: Fullerton Real Estate, HOMEOWNERS BEWARE: Foreclosure Rescue Scams! - 10/19/10 08:56 PM
In writing this blog I noticed that though I haven't written much lately, the little I have written is about SCAMS! I get calls from people often after it is too late. It is bad enough that folks are forced with the potential loss of their home but now we have to worry about stinking scammers too!!!??? It makes me so mad!
With the recent rise in foreclosures, foreclosure-related scams have exploded onto the real estate scene. These so-called "foreclosure rescue companies" claim they will help save your home, but in reality are out to make a profit -- at your … (3 comments)

fullerton real estate: Loan Mod's - They're Not for the Faint of Heart! Tips to getting your Loan Mod Applcation Reviewed. - 09/30/10 04:04 PM
I receive about a call a week from someone needing help with the loan mod process. It really is almost a no-man's land and though I can look through the financials and help decipher the bank language, often times the loan mod is not going to work for one reason or another. It is tough to explain that to someone who is really having a hard time making their mortgage and just needs help. I thought this article had helpful hints and was worth sharing.

fullerton real estate: Orange County Property Tax Assesment - Your Property Taxes Could Possibly be Reduced! - 08/18/10 09:34 PM
Everywhere I go in Fullerton, or in Orange County for that fact, there is one thing that every homeowner knows...what their house was ONCE WORTH; and it was ONCE worth much more!
No one is happy about the loss in their home's value but there might be slight silver lining, lower property taxes! If you have received your property tax notice and disagree with the value, you can file an application for changed assessment (assessment appeal) with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. The filing period is July 2, 2010 to September 15, 2010.
Be prepared to provide information that … (0 comments)

fullerton real estate: A Few Notes from My Newsletter - Fullerton Real Esate & Happenings January 2010 - 01/26/10 07:22 PM
Can you believe that January is almost over? Typically the holidays are quiet in real estate but it stayed busy right through and still is!
2009 is over and if I had to give the year a theme, it could easily have been; "Half the Inventory with Twice the buyers"; or maybe "The Grand Canyon Gap Between Buyers and Sellers" or possibly, "It's an Investors World". I could go on and on but with the low inventory and scores of buyers it is really of balance. Check out the graph to see for yourself.
In 2009 we had less than HALF the inventory from … (3 comments)

fullerton real estate: Fullerton Real Estate - "Momma, is the Appraiser the Devil?" - 01/25/10 07:53 PM
If you have sold Fullerton real estate or real estate in Orange County recently for that matter; you might have asked yourself a similar question!
When inventory is low, and buyers are out in force, it is not un-common for a home to command multiple offers and quickly get bid up. As a seller, this is great though there are still so many things to consider when faced with muliple offers.
Is the buyer really qualifed? Can the buyer close escrow on time? WILL THE PROPERTY APPRAISE? Sure, it is a little tough for buyers to qualify for loans right now; … (12 comments)

fullerton real estate: Fullerton Real Estate - FHA Waives the 90 Day Wait Policy on Flipping! - 01/19/10 10:03 AM
You might be one of those starry eyed first time buyers that has been worn out by the over abundance of buyers, multiple offers and cash investors that are scooping things up. What's worse, is when you see a great new property that is in your price range and has completely remodeled and you can't wait to call your agent to see it.....Then your agent lowers the bomb shell, "It's a flip and does not qualify for an FHA loanfor 90 days". If this story is all too familiar to you, this could be HUGE NEWS!
I'm sure most of us have seen Flip that … (4 comments)
