Memories of Route 66 (a TV series....dating myself here...I can barely remember it) only we are on The 299 and heading East. Fall River Mills is a small town of charm and beauty about an hour and half from Redding on The 299. On the way to Alturas, one finds "The Hat Creek" and The Pit River. This river community has much to offer.
The Hat Creek is known for some of the best Fly Fishing in the Western US. Winds through our county and is availble throught the eastern permiter.
Further along we come to MacArthur, CA a farming valley with impressive views of Mount Shasta. The Mountain appears to be "Heavenly Being" hanging over this blessed valley protecting and standing guard.
This farming community is protected and has the feeling of having been passed by. Everything is slower and more pleasant in MacArthur. Simpler times still exist here.

Redding CA Realtors - Real Estate and Life - Where's the Line - Do you have a life other than being a Realtor? There are times when I've had to question whether my work takes over my life or if I have a life other than real estate.
I'd like to do some fly fishing on "The Hat Creek" and "The Sacramento River" here in Redding and Shasta County California. I would like to bake pies for my neighbors who are such good neighbors and friends. I'd like to take a three day weekend and go camping at Lewiston Reservoir. I would like to get my car washed each week. I have taxes to do and so on and so on.
I am fortuate to work with people I like. All my clients and I have connected on some level and enjoy working together. Some times our time together is short and sometimes it is a lifelong friendship.
It comes down to always doing my best for the client. Some times it means taking my client to the hospital after they just moved here and some times it means fighting the bank to get that short sale approval for a Buyer who is a disabled veteran. Putting my client in that perfect home and seeing that smile on their face is my life. Getting a hug and knowing that I helped in a significant way is my life.
Redding CA Realtors - Real Estate and Life - Where's the Line - Well getting some fly fishing and getting my taxes done are needful things indeed.....but overall I would say I have a good life and many clients that are my lifelong friends!
Things are changing on the short sale side of things and you should know about these changes.
Everything we knew about short sales is about to change. Good or bad, it is hard to tell. The government changed things with the "Making Home Affordable" (MHA) program. This program is now being managed by the Treasury and Fannie Mae. It covers more than 85% of mortgage loans, which include loans owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. It also includes FHA loans and loans managed about about 50 major servicers.
It seems to be an attempt by the government to tidy up the short sale process. Having very little faith in the government at this point, however I have my doubts.
One of the points being made is that there are all those Loss Mitigators out there that need to be trained before it can be implemented.
Word is that Freddie Mac has been called into service to "audit servicers" files and fine servicers who are not using the new MHA process. WOW some regulation coming from the government. Interesting, however my guess is that for those few banks that are helping the Consumer, it will be a way to stop short sales.
In the new plan, the Loss Mitagator is the initial point of contact for the Consumer in their search for options in keeping their home. If after all options are explored, then and only then will a short sale be considered.
The Loss Mitigator will use a net present value formula to determine if the lender/investor will net more from a short sale than from a foreclosure. They say the decision is strictly a financial one. If a short sale is selected for the seller, the seller will continue to list with the listing agent, however the listing price and listing term will be determined by the Loss Mitigator. The servicer/lender must still approve the short sale.
The servicer/lender can no longer negotiate down the short sale commissions.
This is all very interesting indeed. I wonder where the Loss Mitigator will come to understand local markets, trending marketing conditions and present market value for the property.
Additionally, how will they judge Realtors and Real Estate Agents and their ability to market the property.
All interesting questions. It seems to me that the government has just figured out a way to control more of the real estate market with a plan that let's them determination that more homes should go to foreclosure. Is the real agenda to take away all the homes from all Consumers.

Redding CA - Agents Who Use The Web - Marketing Your Home-–The Real Estate Industry having been through 2 years of turmoil and decline is now “The New Frontier”. How your Realtor helped you in the past is not how your Realtor will help you in the future. The following points are how you should select the Realtor you work with.
Market Reports and Local Information–More and more the consumer is using the Internet to look for real estate and to learn about market value and the lifestyle they are looking for. Those Realtors that are investing in providing the consumer with local information, demographics, news, market reports and the latest trending real estate news on the local and national level will be the Realtor you will want to work with.
Transparency and Blogging–Blogging has done a wonderful thing for real estate. It has brought about the opportunity for Realtors to share information, knowledge, experience and insights about themselves and how they do business. The result of blogging is that the consumer has a better glimpse of the Realtor and the business model and ethics they embrace. The transparancy of Blogging let’s the consumer get to know the Realtor prior to ever picking up the phone. With prolific blogging the consumer can with no doubt understand the Realtor and who they are whether it is that they flyfish or like art. They will also have a know about the market knowledge and experience that the Realtor has.
Internet Delivery Systems that Market The Web–Realtors that are building the delivery systems for Buyers and Sellers to research and learn about current market value and the trending real estate industry as a whole will be providing the consumer with what they want. Realtors that have their finger on the pulse of the market, communicate effectively and deliver to the consumer this information will be the Realtors that stay in the business, adapt and embrace the changing and dynamic trend of the market.
Redding CA - Agents Who Use The Web - Marketing Your Home-–Be sure to look at a prospective Realtor and their web marketing system that targets your prospective Buyer. If they cannot tell you how to do this then you have the wrong Realtor! They should have a comprehensive website system and multiple blogs for niche markets targeting buyer segments.

I'm starting a new trend....and I will just carry on with it until you join me! The idea is that the brain likes to have repetitive patterns of thought. The things we do in life are patterns and the brain likes to be lazy and do comfortable and familiar things. We pet our dog each day and when time allows we cook or garden or fish.
Life at time throws us a curve and we are forced to address change and a new pattern. We have a choice however to embrace change constantly by doing new and delightful things that help the mind stay alert and change up those patterns of familiarity. Through different and new activities the mind and brain remain younger and more adaptable to change. Your ability to remember and entertain complex thought is enhanced. So here's to new brains and new experiences. Let's all think outside the box on new things that will help you stay young and open up your heart to happiness....as well!
Be Kind - Pick a flower - Stay loose - Learn to watch snails - Plant impossible gardens - Invite someone dangerous to tea - Make little signs that say "Yes!" and post them all over your house - Make friends with Freedom & Uncertainty - Smell flowers - Look forward to dreams - Send a note to a long lost friend - Cry during movies - Make Bread - Swing as high as you can on a swing set by moonlight - Lie under the stars - Wish for World Peace - Cultivate happy moods !
Refuse to "Be Responsible" - Do it for Love - Take lots of naps - Be Generous - Give money away - Do it now - The money will find you again - Eat cookies - Believe in magic - Laugh a lot - Read Thoreau - Celebrate every gorgeous moment - Take Moon Baths! - Have wild imaginings, allow dreams that transform, Be perfectly calm - Draw on the walls - Read everyday - Imagine the magic of yourself!
Giggle with children - Listen to old people - Open up - Dive in - Be free - Bless yourself - Drive away fear - Play with everything - Entertain your inner child - Allow innocence - Build a fort with blankets - Get wet - Hug trees - Write a Poem - Write love letters - Open you heart to the Universe and love all things!
I guess this is good for today. More to come next weekend! I wish all Happiness and Well-Being to all! I'd like to hope we get some good responses and if we do....then I will repost this post with the contributions in the comments and make it into something really inspiring! So come on and give it your best out-of-the box ideas on how we can do some new and beautiful things in our lives for our little ole brains!
This was inspired by Osark. I googled the name but did not find any reference. If you know who the author is....I would love to know.
