My Grandma Turned 90 This Week and She Still Makes Great Memories For Us - 03/25/11 07:53 AM
My Grandma Turned 90 This Week and She Still Makes Great Memories For UsWe celebrated my grandma’s 90th birthday this week. It was a very small and “semi-memorable” birthday celebration. “Semi-memorable” because as much as we will cherish the memories of the day filled with birthday banners, balloons, cupcakes, manicures and a rousing game of scrabble, my grandma probably won’t. Alzheimer’s disease is just like that. As we all took turns gathering around her little wheelchair, I often wondered would she remember any of it. While she may not remember, she continues to make great memories for us. Isn’t that just … (1 comments)

Every Buyer Deserves A Chance To Get Their Offer Accepted - 03/17/11 09:06 PM
In a competitive market, buyers often wonder why their offers are continually not accepted. One thing that buyers must understand is that the “cleaner” and more competitive the offer is, the better chance they will have of getting their offer accepted. When a buyer’s agent submits an offer, it is equally important that the offer does not contain ambiguous language. Most certainly, however, the offer needs to appear to be one that is based on a genuine desire to go forward with the purchase barring any unforeseen events. We received an offer recently on one of our seller’s homes that stated … (6 comments)

What's Bank of America Finally Doing Right? - 03/09/11 11:02 AM
What's Bank of America Finally Doing Right?  
Bank of America seems to have finally realized that they have a huge mess on their hands. With the recent  survey completed by the California Association of Realtors outlining the difficulties of successfully working through a short sale with lenders, we need servicers to wake up and realize that their lack of organized systems in place are causing grave delays. The foreclosure mayhem is only increasing.
Bank of America is definitely the step-child of lending institutions right now as far as the mass public is concerned. However, I do believe in giving acknowledgement where it is due. … (2 comments)

What is Probate and How Is The Realtors Commission Set During Probate?
Probate is a Superior Court procedure to determine a will’s validity and any creditor’s claims. Probate also establishes the identity of the beneficiaries. If the validity of a will is in question, then after a person dies, an administrator or administratrix is appointed by the court. The administrator of administratrix is appointed by the court to take possession of the property until probate is finalized. If the will has appointed a particular custodian, then that person is known as the executor or executrix. The real estate commission for a … (0 comments)

Transaction Managers Only Work If They ACTUALLY MANAGE the Transaction - 03/01/11 10:38 AM
I absolutely adore a good transaction manager. They can be the life flow of a real estate transaction. But on the other hand, they can absolutely almost be the death of a transaction, too. Do not heed this warning lightly, Transaction Managers Only Work If They ACTUALLY MANAGE The Transaction.  Perhaps I am a bit spoiled because my transaction manager is incredible at ensuring that all necessary documents are disseminated appropriately amongst all parties to a transaction.  While I trust her implicitly, I also continue to have a hands on approach to each transaction. She handles the paperwork but I check … (4 comments)
