Striving to continually produce cutting-edge resources allows the HomeSource team to ensure clients receive the best customer service possible.

By connecting new homeowners with reputable and trusted resources for home improvements and services, HomeSource clients will be able to turn their new buy into a dream home or enhance their home’s value. With the extensive list of vendors from landscaping, interior and exterior painting, cabinetry, flooring, insurance agencies, contractors and more, the Concierge team will work with HomeSource to provide clients with an array of vendor referrals that have been vetted for being licensed, insured, bonded and experienced in their industry. “Our goal is to provide a valuable resource to homeowners that want to fix up their house to sell, remodel the house they just purchased, or assist new homeowners who may be unfamiliar with the area. We realize it can be challenging when faced with simply looking in the yellow pages or searching online. Our referral list will provide a comprehensive list with multiple vendors in each category.” stated Chris Lamoreaux, Vice President of HomeSource. Also launching this year will be the Annual HomeSource Home Makeover. The HomeSource team will be accepting nominations beginning in February for one High Desert homeowner to receive a home makeover. HomeSource will be accepting nominations throughout the next six months and randomly drawing finalists weekly before choosing one winner to receive an exciting home makeover to be featured in the Daily Press. While helping clients buy and sell residential real estate is at top priority, the HomeSource team also works to remain resource to homeowners, before, during and after every transaction. “We’re extremely excited to launch the Home Makeover this year. The HomeSource team thrives on building and growing with our community and this new initiative will allow us to do just that. We are looking forward to giving back to the members of our community and appreciate the vendors and businesses willing to help make it happen,” stated HomeSource Vice President, Chris Lamoreaux. The HomeSource Home Makeover will allow businesses in the High Desert to join together to serve the community. While one deserving, local resident receives the home makeover of their dreams, vendors and service providers will be able to demonstrate their services and ability in front of the community. Local vendors such as Decorating Den, Hitt Plumbing and ServPro are some of the vendors excited to be involved in this event.

Hi All

 

Tomorrow I attend a Short Sale Summit in Palm Desert.  it's location is at CA Desert Association of Realtors.

The presenters are Jacob Swodeck  who is a National Short Sale Trainer.  He and his organization have closed over 1,000 short sales since the late 1990's. He is the  Director of Education for PSC certification. One of the things that Jacob likes to do is make your business recission proof.  I have been trained by Jacob and attended several of his presentations because he allows brings value with some of the latest information and time tested information.


At this presentation also Amelia Castro who has been a representative with Wachovia Short Sales is also listed to be at the presentation.  Later this week Amelia will be at my Office at HomeSource Lamoreaux Residential Group. 


As a Short Sale agent I believe in ongoing training and being around others who are successfully completeling short sales.


I am looking forward to the event very much. Palm Desert here I come.

Good Morning

 

If you have worked with short sales you know how intricate and involved the process could be and is.

 

We had a short sale with two banks.  The first was a Fanny Mae backed loan and according to its guidelines concerning the second. It would only allow for 6% of the loan balance of the second to be paid to the second.

The second was $28000. They were not going to settle for $1680.  However here was the glitch, The first would not allow the owner to play what the second wanted($5000). The First would not allow the agents to contribute anything to the second(the sale of the first was $50,000 there really wasn't a whole lot of commission money anyway).

So we thought, "We will find a cash buyer who will see that this is a good investment and will step up to the plate and pay the second the monies they needed to release the lein and satisfy the note"  We did find a buyer for whom that was true and guess what????? The First would not allow the buyer to pay the second.  We thought how do we get over this hurdle???

 

We called the second and asked them if they would negotiate a loan modification from $28000 to $5000.

Unbelievable, they did. Our clients reluctantly signed a $5000 note to be paid over X amount of years at no

interest.   OK

The Deal closed and although we had not achieved exactly what we wanted it was better than a stick in the eye.

 

Guess what?  a few month later our clients recieved correspondence from the bank. The note was paid in full, released and done.  How?  I am not sure. however I put this question to Vanessa Liddell at one of her short sale classes- she is a most excellant  teacher.  And in a nutshell --- SB 584 is probably the new law that came into play.  Needless to say, we asked our client to come into the office and make a phone call to the bank. With great joy we all heard the good news!!! Paid in Full, Released, done, over. Thats it.

 

Not all short sale stories end with a surprise in favor of the client. This one did.

 

Another Great Day in Real Estate

 

You make it a great Day

Val

I just got a call from an agent. He is selling a property that I had listed as a short sale, but couldn't get an offer that would satisfy the bank.

Why is this listing agent calling me?  "Val you had this property listed and you showed that it was on sewer."

Yes, as I recall it is on sewer. In fact one of the person's who owned that house is a California Licensed Real Estate agent.  When they bought the house is what disclosed as being on sewer. When I took the listing I checked the tax records and the Transfer Disclosure Statement and there it is "on Sewer".

 

I called and talked with the former owner. Just to verify the information.  "Yes it is on sewer" I have paid 

a sewer bill of $35 everymonth sinced I owned the house.  

 

Guess what---- it is not on sewer---- it is on septic.

 

What a surprise to the now listing agent. What a surprise to the then owner of the property who paid

a sewer bill for almost 5 years. That's roughtly $2100 for a service not provided.

 

Anybody have a similar experience?  Anybody know who to contact(please not the obvious stuff of the utility)

and yes we are asking for a copy of the septic report--- I don't know that we can get it but worth a try.

 

Something new everyday!!
