los angeles county: ATTENTION SANTA CLARITA VALLEY HOME BUYERS: Wonderful Stevenson Ranch Home Available for 100% Financing - 01/09/12 04:04 PM
Right now, there are dozens of properties in the Santa Clarita Valley that are eligible for 100% financing through the USDA Guaranteed Rural loan program. Many of these properties are not run-down, dilapidated, dumpy REO's or short sales but rather move-in ready, equity sales with really motivated sellers. Set in the foothills of the Santa Susana mountains in Santa Clarita Valley, lies the little community of Stevenson Ranch. Often referred to as part of the city of Santa Clarita, Stevenson Ranch is actually not within the the Santa Clarita city limits but is instead an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County. … (10 comments)

Well, this has been long overdue - a site to check out prospective landlords. I am so glad that this service is now available to consumers. As an MLO here in Los Angeles & Ventura counties, I have heard way too many horror stories from many of my own borrowers of how they were treated when the properties they were renting got foreclosed on.
Nevermind that these folks were great tenants in good standing who paid their rent every month, on time. When the landlord stopped paying the mortgage, these folks were SOL when it came time to honor lease agreements or security … (10 comments)

los angeles county: What You MUST Know About Dual Agency if You Are Buying a CA Home - 12/23/11 11:38 AM
I really liked this post from JPhilip Faranda, a NY Realtor and although his original title (What You MUST Know About Dual Agency if You Are Selling a New York Home ) references selling a home in NY, I changed the title to buying a home in CA because this is something that CA buyers really need to read. JP clearly lays out the fiduciary duty of the listing agent who chooses to work with a buyer on one of his listings. To summarize the post: LISTING AGENTS WORK FOR THE SELLER!!! THEY DO NOT WORK FOR THE BUYER!!!

For anyone who knows me, knows that I am all about doing whatever I can to help rescue abandoned and abused animals. Having rescued and adopted so many over the years, I actually wish I could adopt more (hubby and I currently have 3-rescued doggies).
