walnut creek homes for sale: FHA in Trouble? - 10/10/09 12:49 PM
Today I read an article in the paper, that the FHA might implode. Ouch. I have come to the conclusion that there is an "all cash" market, an FHA market, and then a whole lot of nothing.
I had a conversation with a fellow agent about a year ago, and we both came to the same realization: if people have more money invested in their car than their home, it seems to be a prescription for disaster.
We both figured that a year or two down the line, alot of these FHA borrowers were going to walk away from the houses. … (2 comments)

walnut creek homes for sale: Walnut Creek Realtor Actually Answers His Phone! - 09/16/09 12:24 AM
Is there something wrong with me? When the phone rings, I answer it. I like talking to people. That's why I got into the Real Estate business, in the first place.
I know alot of my contemoraries like to leave a smarmy little message at the end of the work day: "Thanks for calling, bla, bla, bla." " Your call is important to me, bla, bla, bla." "If you're calling after 7:00, i'll return your call in the morning, bla, bla, bla."
Most of my clients are putting thenselves on the line, by attempting to buy or sell a house. The least … (6 comments)

walnut creek homes for sale: Current Medical Care Situation is Affecting Your Net Worth - 08/29/09 10:46 AM
If you weren't paying such a huge premium for your Health Insurance, could you "buy up" to the house you really want? Whenever I hear folks talking about how expensive health care is going to be under Obama's plan (as if they have actually read his plan), I wonder what planet they might be living on right now. As a Real Estate professional, I pay for my own health insurance. In the last 4-5 years my premiums have doubled. Much to my dismay, my income has not doubled.
Every time I speak with people who think the status quo is acceptable, … (2 comments)

walnut creek homes for sale: Walnut Creek Foreclosure Dog - 08/28/09 01:53 PM
The upside of the housing collapse, is that My dog, Elvis, whom I rescued at Animal Rescue Foundation in Walnut Creek, was a foreclosure dog. Almost all of the dogs came from the San Joaquin Valley, where they were abandoned by their owners, who could no longer stay in their homes.
Every time I look at him, I can't stop thinking how he is the embodiment of an Option ARM, or a Stated Income loan. It is hard to believe that people would just abandon their pets, but there ya go!
I wish Elvis could tell me a little about the family that … (8 comments)

walnut creek homes for sale: Walnut Creek Dog Realtor - 08/20/09 08:33 PM
If dogs could buy and sell houses, would you want to work with them? I know there would be a few problems: "Hey Fido, when are you going to get those tax docs to the lender?" "What do you mean you buried them in the yard, and can't remember where?"
"Rover, I know we're looking for a house with a carpet that smells like urine, but we won't know until we go into the house, will we?"
" I know you're a loyal client, but I'm sick of throwing the tennis ball, already"
"Is my paw print a valid signiture?"

walnut creek homes for sale: Woof Woof Woof. - 08/18/09 10:44 AM
All our friends are getting dogs. We feel like our dog, Elvis, is creating a demand. He's just so cute, and full of fun, that is is contagious.
It could be that in these trying economic times, that alot of folks are going back to the times in their lives when, things were simple, and a family dog was something that says "home."
Anyway, It is gratifying to see our friends getting on board. We will see all of them at Hap Magee Dog Park in Danville, which by the way, if you haven't taken your doggie there, you don't know what a terrific community resource it … (7 comments)

walnut creek homes for sale: Some Thoughts about Broker's Tour - 08/11/09 09:56 AM
I always amazes me when you take the time to go to a home on Brokers Tour, only to find that it is a "no-Host" affair. I believe it is direspectful on all levels.
What are you saying to your client? Your time is much too valuable to do put up a minimum effort on their behalf. What if somebody comes in and is quasi-interested in the home? You would imagine that with a little guided tour, you could point out the high points, some of the not-so-obvious features, get a feel for how people are reacting to the price. Don't … (0 comments)
