AHS (American Home Shield) Class Action Lawsuit - 02/20/09 04:25 PM
AHS is a very popular home warranty company.  I've used their warranties, bought them for clients, written them into Buyers' Repair Addenda, and have recommended them for years.
In today's mail I received a 10-page document outling the SETTLEMENT of Karon and L.B. Chip Edleson, Plaintiffs vs. American Home Shield of California, Inc., et al., Case No. 37-2007-00071725-CU-BT-CTL.
In part:

How to Goose Your Deal to Close - 02/17/09 09:36 PM
This article was written for BOTH buyers and sellers. It's pertinent because in today's real estate market, no one wants to have a "Sale Fail" at the last minute. A sale fail is exactly that: A sale (read: accepted offer) has failed, and fallen out of escrow.

                                                                       I've been reading quite a few of the AR comments and some of them suggest that the banks/lenders don't know what they're doing.  And how they got us into this "mess."
I tend to disagree.  I think the "mess" was when buyers got in over their heads, saw "everyone else doing it," (i.e., cashing out on home equity lines of credit, pretending they didn't understand what their ARM meant, getting 125% loans, getting seconds and even third mortgages).  We can all point fingers, but I'm NOT a lender.  I wasn't approving these things.
