California Real Estate Weather Forecast - REO Tsunami Ahead

Sat, 04 Oct 2008 11:53:52 -0500

Dateline - San Dimas, California October 3, 2008

Today marked a new milestone in Southern California CRS history. President Deborah Kniss and President Elect Marlene Bridges saw a need to prepare our members for the work that lies ahead for California REALTORS®. With the help of noted NAR, CAR speaker, and fellow Active Rainer C.J. Johnson of Silver Lining Productions, two classes were created:

REO 101 for the 21^st Century

REO 102 for the 21^st Century.

The classroom was packed to capacity when C.J. regaled over 100 attendees with her humor, wisdom, and cutting-edge, fresh-from-the-trenches information on professionally working the REO market. We can't wait until October 24^th when we get part two of the series.

This class was so well received, plans are already in the works to reprise it in early 2009. Are you ready for the coming REO tsunami ahead? Read the flyer below to see how Southern California CRS is helping agents to get prepared to professionally handle the market that lies ahead:

Become a Certified Distressed Property Expert - Class Offered in Southern California

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 10:07:39 -0500

FORECLOSURE! SHORT SALE! PRICE REDUCED! REO! It's in all the headlines and for many real estate professionals, it's not a matter of choice whether we need to work this part of the market...it's only a matter of when. If you're like me, you may be feeling it's time it's time for to gear up for the days ahead. To date I've attended 5 different presentations on how to work with short sales. The only common denominators seem to be that the speakers are saying two things:

1) REALTORS®/Real Estate Agents - it is our responsibility as real estate professionals to help clean up this mess.

2) Most real estate agents are doing it wrong - and each has a different method for doing it right.

Both statements are very compelling. Like many of you, I'm committed to helping as many people as I can during the coming years. But, the second statement sure makes it difficult to know where we should turn for wisdom and training.

While attending the Howard Brinton Star Power Annual Conference in Orlando last week, I was introduced to the Distressed Property Institute (www.cdpenow.com) a Florida based company that I believe has a plausible plan for us to follow. They offer the Certified Distressed Property Expert designation course. The CDPE is endorsed by Howard Brinton Star Power Systems and national brokerage firms. They are offering a two day training session for us in California at a very special introductory price.

What CDPE offers is:

Your Certified Distressed Property Expert Designation Includes:

􀂅 Two Days of Classroom Instruction

􀂅 170+ Page Distressed Property Field Manual

􀂅 Complete Short Sale Forms Disk

􀂅 Checklists for Distressed Situations

􀂅 Foreclosure Solutions Flow Charts

􀂅 Sample Short Sale Package

􀂅 Monthly Follow up Calls & New Information Updates

􀂅 Use of the CDPE Logo and Designation

CDPE has authorized me to share the opportunity with you to attend a two day class on September 8 & 9 in Ontario California. We are currently creating an interest list only of people who are seriously interested in attending the class. If we are able to get 40 people, we will be able to offer the class at a huge discount of $399. They will offer this discount as an introductory price only offered to allow CDPE to break into the California market. The price of their web-based program and live classes are $599 so this will be a great opportunity.

If you need more information CDPE has scheduled a free one hour introductory preview that you can attend by clicking here http://www.cdpenow.com/cdpe_free_previews.html to register or visit CDPE's site at www.cdpenow.com.

Please respond to this blog with your interest in attending so we can get the September 8 & 9 class scheduled. Also, if you'd forward a link to this blog to any of your friends who need to be there, that would be much appreciated!

Please take a moment to read some of the incredible comments below from current and former attendees of this class. They have far more eloquently described their experience and the benefit of the class than I coul ever do!

Busman's Holiday in Phoenix Arizona With REALTOR® & Certified Residential Specialist® Mario Trejo Romero

Tue, 20 May 2008 16:13:36 -0500

What an extraordinary day it was yesterday in Phoenix, Arizona! While here in town attending a blogging conference, my friend Lynda Eisenmann (best friend, CRS, REALTOR® and Broker/Owner of Preferred Home Brokers in Brea, CA) and I were treated to a grand tour of the city by fellow CRS® and Metro Phoenix REALTOR® Mario Trejo Romero. We were treated to a tour of Mario’s present office located in a beautiful, historic, brick Victorian home. Mario recently sold this property and will be moving to his new office to a historic, mid-century building right next to the historic neighborhood of Encanto. Mario’s specialty is historic real estate.

Historic Rousson House in downtown Phoenix

(Photo courtesy of cities.com a great resoure for travel information)

After touring the “new” office Mario chauffeured us around the Encanto neighborhood and then into the heart of the city. Mario certainly knew his market. He is certainly the REALTOR’S® REALTOR®. Lynda and I were full of questions and Mario was ready with great information that not only answered our questions, it also gave us even more information than we would have known enough to ask. As we toured the ity, Lynda and I were both impressed with the diverse architecture and contrast between the well-preserved old and the cutting edge new building designs.

The incredible photo above from www.megascenery.com shows the mega city of Phoenix that now covers over 60 miles juxtaposed against original historic neighborhoods and room to grow. Phoenix is one of the five fastest growning cities in America.

Later that evening we enjoyed an exceptional dinner at Phoenix City Grille (one of Mario’s favorite restaurants in the Phoenix). Try the roast pork and don’t miss the cornbread! After dinner, we were off to see the new “lake” in on the Phoenix/Tempe border. WOW! With some baffles, locks, a new bridge, and the foresight of the former Mayor of Tempe, the old muddy river area has been transformed into a prime real estate area. High rise condos and marinas now dot the lakefront. A must see when in Phoenix.

One of the best things about being a REALTOR® is traveling to great cities for seminars that teach us more about how to serve our clients better. And, to the extra benefit of meeting with new and old friends across the country and sharing their cities through their eyes.

What the Heck is a Half Bathroom?

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 10:35:15 -0600

One of the questions I'm often asked as a REALTOR® is, "What is a half bathroom?" Recently, the Southern California Multiple Listing Service incorporated a new set of input fields to their system. And with this change, I'm sure I'll be hearing the question more often. Here's the definition direct from SoCal MLS:

"In most parts of the country, a full bathroom includes a toilet, a sink, a bathtub and a shower. A combination bath and shower counts as two fixtures. If the bathroom has only three fixtures it is a 3/4 bath. If it has only two fixtures it is a 1/2 bath, and if it has only one (bath, shower or toilet) it is a 1/4 bath."

As you search for a home in Orange County, California you may wonder how many bathrooms a home actually has. The MLS printout will show total number of bathrooms and how many bathrooms of each type are in the home. I offer this information to assist you in your search. If you have questions about bathrooms or other important features, I'm here to help!

Get Ready For Another Postage Increase - Forever Stamps Might Be A Good Answer

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 16:41:53 -0600

The U.S. Postal Service has announced today that beginning May 12^th it will cost 1 penny more to mail a one ounce letter First Class. The cost will be 42 cents. The price of the Post Office's Forever stamp will increase to 42 cents. There have been over 5 billion Forever Stamps sold since they became available last April. So, here's your chance to save a penny and buy some of the Forever Stamps at their current rate of 41 cents. The post office is planning to have an additional 5 billion of the 41 cent Forever Stamps available to meet the anticipated sales prior to the May 12 price change.

Hey, this could be your opportunity to do something nice for a friend on May Day. How about buying some booklets of 1 cent stamps to send to friends and family members (especially your senior friends who might not be able to get to the post office easily) to help them use up their 41 cent stamps and save them a trip to the Post Office?

Will People Pay More To Be Eco-Friendly? I Did!

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 21:06:39 -0600

Today, on the way to the Open House I was holding in Rancho Santa Margarita, I stopped to pick up a case of bottled water. People cruising through lots of houses can work up a thirst and always seem to appreciate getting a nice cold bottle of water.

While at the grocery store, I first picked up a case of the store brand water that was on sale. Then, I saw the new-shaped Arrowhead water bottles I'd seen advertised on TV. I put the store brand back on the shelf and opted for the Arrowhead water because I think it's worth an extra 50 cents per case to be more eco-friendly.

The hourglass shape of the bottle makes it easier to hold. But, more importantly, it's the lightest weigh ½ liter bottle ever produced (according to a national survey). More information is available at www.arrowheadwater.com/ecoshape. This isn't a big thing, but it's a lot of small things that can make a difference in the carbon footprint we leave on planet earth.

I was willing to pay a few pennies more for a product that is kinder to the environment. This seems to be a trend in the area of home purchases too here in Orange County. There are many folks making conscious efforts to be more eco-friendly. Many home buyers that I meet are beginning to move energy use and energy efficiency of the home up on their scale of priorities in searching for homes. I can't say that I've had buyers willing to pay more for it, but it certainly is a tipping point in choosing between two similar homes - one energy efficient vs. one without energy saving improvements.

What Are You Doing For Affordable Health Insurance?

Sat, 09 Feb 2008 11:10:50 -0600

This morning I heard a statistic that over 47 million Americans are without health insurance. It was a wake-up call for me. Oh, I know that this is an issue that we've heard politicians talking about for many years, but for some reason today it struck a chord.

It has been my family's good fortune to have a group health plan for many years through my husband's work at the County of Orange. We've always appreciated this benefit very much, but recently when my health benefit increased to nearly $600 a month (almost double) it really got my attention. My first thought was, "oh #@$%". My second thought was, "thank goodness I have good coverage". My third thought was," count your blessings that you still afford to pay for it". Now, I'm beginning to wonder if the next increase will just be too much.

Most of my REALTOR® friends are not a part of a health insurance plan. I've always been so grateful for my widow's benefits that include me in a group plan. But, I'm beginning to wonder how I'm going to be able to continue paying for that coverage if it doubles again. For the first time in my adult life, I'm beginning to understand why 47 million Americans are without health insurance. I always figured the reason for it was poverty or being self-employed. That theory was true in part, but I now realize that there is a tipping point for every one of us when health insurance moves from the necessity category to luxury status.

A question for you: What are you doing for affordable health insurance?
