This is probably NOT a good sign for the housing market recovery

Police Found Freddie Mac CFO Dead by Hanging

Police believe David Kellermann, 41, Killed Himself in HIs Virginia Home

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=7399376&page=1

By RUSSELL GOLDMAN, JACK DATE and ANN COMPTON April 22, 2009 Law enforcement sources said David Kellermann, acting chief financial officer of mortgage company Freddie Mac, was found hanging in the basement of his Reston, Va., home, dead from an apparent suicide early this morning.

Police believe David Kellermann, 41, Killed Himself in Virginia Home Virginia police say they found David Kellermann, acting chief financial officer of mortgage company Freddie Mac, hanging in the basement of his Reston home, dead from an apparent suicide early this morning. (ABC News)

The death was "an active investigation" and there were "no signs of foul play," Fairfax County police officer Sabrina Ruck said. Local police said they were called to Kellermann's home at 4:48 a.m., but would not say who'd placed the call to 911.

Kellermann, 41, and a 16-year veteran of Freddie Mac, had been the company's CFO since September, after a government takeover of the company following the housing crisis. Freddie Mac had been criticized for reckless business practices that some argued contributed to the housing and financial crisis. The company is controlled by the government and owns or guarantees about 13 million home loans. Freddie Mac and sibling company Fannie Mae, which together own or back more than half the home mortgages in the United States, have been hobbled by skyrocketing loan defaults and have received about $60 billion in combined federal aid. Kellermann was named acting chief financial officer in September 2008, after the resignation of Anthony "Buddy" Piszel, who stepped down after the government takeover.

According to securities reports filed in March, Kellermman was to receive an $850,000 bonus. Last summer, Kellermann owned 43,000 shares of Freddie Mac stock, worth about $395,000. As the company's stock plummeted from $9 a share last July to 80 cents or so this morning, he slowly sold off some shares, for pennies on the dollar. His holdings of 38,861 shares, as of April 11, were worth just $30,000, according to ABC News calculations of Security and Exchange Commission filings. In filings with the SEC in March, Freddie Mac said it had entered into a pact with Kellermann and two other executives to protect them from liabilities and expenses in connection to any threatened or pending lawsuits. The agreement, which kicked in retroactively from the time of the government takeover, would not protect the officials from willful criminal misconduct.

Before he was named acting CFO, Kellermann served as senior vice president, corporate comptroller and principal accounting officer.

"We at FHFA are very saddened by the death of David Kellermann," said the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the government agency that oversees Freddie Mac, in a statement. " For many years, we have known David as a person of the utmost ethical standards who was hardworking and knowledgeable in his field. As the Acting Chief Financial Officer of Freddie Mac during particularly challenging times, David was an inspiration to his staff and many others who were privileged to work with him. We extend our condolences to his family, friends and colleagues," the statement read.

MY FIRST DISCUSSION THREAD - WAS THE BAILOUT NECESSARY???

I SAW THIS BLOG, AND IT MADE ME PAUSE TO REFLECT ON OUR CURRENT METHODS OF FINANCIAL BAILOUT. What do you think?

Our country's leading financial officials (the heads of our Department of Treasury and Federal Reserve Bank) have proposed to bail out an enormous array of overpaid wall street phonies in order to become a foreclosing creditor for 700 billion dollars worth of real estate debt -- even though they know nothing whatever about collecting or foreclosing on non-performing real estate debt. They cannot possibly do their traditional jobs, which they have normally done quite respectably, under such an administrative burden. The mess would continue, perhaps even worsen.

All the Fed Chairman has to do is do is spend half that amount of fresh Federal Reserve Notes on U.S. Government Bonds and stop making a fool of himself by begging Congress for a favor that would just create a nightmare for him, and ergo the rest of us. What that simple inflationary monetary shock would do is immediately increase the U.S. price-level by just about 20%. The dollar would sink that much in the world's money markets and this would (1) stimulate our economy out of its current recessionary threat; (2) raise the value of real estate by 20% and immediately end the wave of current real estate foreclosures; and (3) immediately restore liquidity and financial flexibility to our banks and financial institutions so as to end our current financial woes on the spot.

Domestic creditors would suffer, but not much more than they would under the current wave of bankruptcies and foreclosures. In any case, because of this savings in process and transaction costs, our suffering debtors would gain much more than the creditors would lose.

Foreign creditors would lose at our expense, but they were speculating anyways and must bear the costs that any speculator occasionally must bear. While our current financial gurus, the guys who got us into this mess according to my above cited publication, worry about lowering the world's confidence in the U.S. economy and price-level stability, they should recognize that foreign investors in U.S. bonds have always known that, on occassion, the U.S. must -- for the health of the world's economy as well as her own -- adjust her domestic price level.

Forget positive mental attitude....IT'S TIME TO GET MAD AND CHANGE THINGS!!!!!!

David Eisley — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 12:21:52 -0600

Now is not the time to put your blinders on, and smile blissfully into the abyss. I am not saying to walk around screaming "Bah Humbug" to every passerby. I do realize that a person's thoughts, whether positive or negative, do have an effect on their environment. If you think negatively, your mind will automatically seek out confirmation that the world is a terrible place.

Anger provides adrenaline and momentum. However, too often, I see people ignoring the truth, and deciding to put blind faith in that fact that "everything will turn out just fine." It won't, and it hasn't. The only thing that will change things is action...the reality is that those most deserving of a "bailout" are those that don't need one.

So many of us have interpreted the desire to be positive thinkers in a very narrow and ultimately ineffective way. The push to be positive often results in ignoring our true feelings. Instead of recognizing that we don't always feel positive and learning how to convert and turn round our feelings, it so often ends up with us denying them altogether.

Another reason why positive thinking doesn't work is that we often veil our negative feelings with a positive surface. So we say "I want a loving relationship". Sounds good right? Except that underneath there is the hidden message that having a loving relationship wouldn't even be an issue - unless you'd been in one or a series of not so loving relationships.

It's time to get realistic, get mad, and change things. There are no readily available answers, and one is left feeling anger at the recklessness, greed, and incompetence that has been guiding our country for the last 8 years. Wall Street infiltrated our business because of greed, and now has left it crippled and uncertain. The fundamentals of Real Estate are, in the present, critically altered. No amount of positive mental attitude can change that.

I think of Wall Street and Washington as I read Whitman's Democratic Vistas, amazingly enough published in 1871...not long after the Civil War, which was less about slavery, and more about a clash of economic interests and political and social class among whites.

I say we had best look our times and lands searchingly in the face, like a physician diagnosing some deep disease. Never was there, perhaps, more hollowness at heart than at present, and here in the United States. Genuine belief seems to have left us. The underlying principles of the States are not honestly believ'd in, (for all this hectic glow, and these melodramatic screamings,) nor is humanity itself believ'd in. What penetrating eye does not everywhere see through the mask? The spectacle is appaling. We live in an atmosphere of hypocrisy throughout. The men believe not in the women, nor the women in the men. A scornful superciliousness rules in literature. The aim of all the littérateurs is to find something to make fun of.

The depravity of the business classes of our country is not less than has been supposed, but infinitely greater. The official services of America, national, state, and municipal, in all their branches and departments, except the judiciary, are saturated in corruption, bribery, falsehood, mal-administration; and the judiciary is tainted. The great cities reek with respectable as much as non-respectable robbery and scoundrelism. In fashionable life, flippancy, tepid amours, weak infidelism, small aims, or no aims at all, only to kill time. In business, (this all-devouring modern word, business,) the one sole object is, by any means, pecuniary gain.

The best class we show, is but a mob of fashionably dress'd speculators and vulgarians. True, indeed, behind this fantastic farce, enacted on the visible stage of society, solid things and stupendous labors are to be discover'd, existing crudely and going on in the background, to advance and tell themselves in time. Yet the truths are none the less terrible. I say that our New World democracy, however great a success in uplifting the masses out of their sloughs, in materialistic development, products, and in a certain highly-deceptive superficial popular intellectuality, is, so far, an almost complete failure in its social aspects, and in really grand religious, moral, literary, and esthetic results.

I also think of Eisenhower's farewell address.....and the Guns versus Butter dilemma. We have become a paranoid nation, and as Eisenhower warned in the 50's, we will be in big trouble when our military spending outweighs our investment in society's greater good. That time has come.

All the best, and Merry Christmas,
Dave Eisley

What are you working for?

David Eisley — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 17:48:57 -0600

A CEO was ordered to take 2 weeks of absence after suffering a heart attack. His doctor advised him to spend some quality R&R time - preferably in a remote place with little distraction or stress.

He ended up in a tiny fishing village in Mexico. He strolled out onto his deck overlooking the ocean and noticed a tiny fishing boat coming in.

"Looks like you caught a few fish there", the CEO bellowed.

"Yes, senior", the man replied, in surprisingly good english.

"How long did it take you to catch all those?"

"Oh, only an hour or so senior."

"Well, why don't you stay out longer and catch more?"

"I have enough to feed my family, and give a few to friends. That's all I need."

"Well, what do you do with the rest of your time?"

"Well, I sleep late, fish a little, and spend the evening drinking wine with friends and taking walks with my wife. I have a full and busy life senior."

(The CEO chuckled) "Sir, I am a Harvard MBA and I can help you. The first thing you need to do is buy a bigger boat, and stay out and fish longer. Instead of giving the fish away, we'll sell them directly to the market. Once you have enough money you can buy a fleet of boats. Then, we'll cut out the middle man and sell directly to the consumer."

"But....what then senior?"

"You'll have to start a corporation and probably move to Los Angeles. As your business grows, you'll add more boats, and become very, very rich."

"And then....senior?"

"That's the best part. Once you've accumulated enough wealth, you can offer an IPO. You'll probably have to move to New York, but you'll make MILLIONS."

"Millions, senior?"

"Yes, millions."

"But, what then senior?"

Real Estate Lessons from Thoreau's Walden - nothing's changed

David Eisley — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 15:51:37 -0500

Thought this was worth sharing....
I had never read this book, but figured with the economy the way it is, I better figure out how to live in the woods.....when I read this passage, I realized we haven't really progressed in over 150 years...

When I consider my neighbors, the farmers of Concord, who are at least as well off as the other classes, I find that for the most part they have been toiling twenty, thirty, or forty years, that they may become the real owners of their farms, which commonly they have inherited with encumbrances, or else bought with hired money-and we may regard one third of that toil as the cost of their houses-but commonly they have not paid for them yet. It is true, the encumbrances sometimes outweigh the value of the farm, so that the farm itself becomes one great encumbrance, and still a man is found to inherit it, being well acquainted with it, as he says. On applying to the assessors, I am surprised to learn that they cannot at once name a dozen in the town who own their farms free and clear. If you would know the history of these homesteads, inquire at the bank where they are mortgaged. The man who has actually paid for his farm with labor on it is so rare that every neighbor can point to him. I doubt if there are three such men in Concord. What has been said of the merchants, that a very large majority, even ninety-seven in a hundred, are sure to fail, is equally true of the farmers. With regard to the merchants, however, one of them says pertinently that a great part of their failures are not genuine pecuniary failures, but merely failures to fulfil their engagements, because it is inconvenient; that is, it is the moral character that breaks down. But this puts an infinitely worse face on the matter, and suggests, beside, that probably not even the other three succeed in saving their souls, but are perchance bankrupt in a worse sense than they who fail honestly. Bankruptcy and repudiation are the springboards from which much of our civilization vaults and turns its somersets, but the savage stands on the unelastic plank of famine. Yet the Middlesex Cattle Show goes off here with eclat annually, as if all the joints of the agricultural machine were suent.

The farmer is endeavoring to solve the problem of a livelihood by a formula more complicated than the problem itself. ... As Chapman sings,

             "The false society of men-  -for earthly greatness  All heavenly comforts rarefies to air."

And when the farmer has got his house, he may not be the richer but the poorer for it, and it be the house that has got him. As I understand it, that was a valid objection urged by Momus against the house which Minerva made, that she "had not made it movable, by which means a bad neighborhood might be avoided"; and it may still be urged, for our houses are such unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed in them; and the bad neighborhood to be avoided is our own scurvy selves. I know one or two families, at least, in this town, who, for nearly a generation, have been wishing to sell their houses in the outskirts and move into the village, but have not been able to accomplish it, and only death will set them free. Most men appear never to have considered what a house is, and are actually though needlessly poor all their lives because they think that they must have such a one as their neighbors have. As if one were to wear any sort of coat which the tailor might cut out for him, or, gradually leaving off palm-leaf hat or cap of woodchuck skin, complain of hard times because he could not afford to buy him a crown! It is possible to invent a house still more convenient and luxurious than we have, which yet all would admit that man could not afford to pay for. Shall we always study to obtain more of these things, and not sometimes to be content with less? Shall the respectable citizen thus gravely teach, by precept and example, the necessity of the young man's providing a certain number of superfluous glow-shoes, and umbrellas, and empty guest chambers for empty guests, before he dies? Why should not our furniture be as simple as the Arab's or the Indian's? When I think of the benefactors of the race, whom we have apotheosized as messengers from heaven, bearers of divine gifts to man, I do not see in my mind any retinue at their heels, any carload of fashionable furniture. Or what if I were to allow-would it not be a singular allowance?-that our furniture should be more complex than the Arab's, in proportion as we are morally and intellectually his superiors! At present our houses are cluttered and defiled with it, and a good housewife would sweep out the greater part into the dust hole, and not leave her morning's work undone. Morning work! By the blushes of Aurora and the music of Memnon, what should be man's morning work in this world? I had three pieces of limestone on my desk, but I was terrified to find that they required to be dusted daily, when the furniture of my mind was all undusted still, and threw them out the window in disgust. How, then, could I have a furnished house? I would rather sit in the open air, for no dust gathers on the grass, unless where man has broken ground.

Weichert Sees New Housing Bill Aiding an Already Improving Real Estate Market

At the start of the year, James M. Weichert, president and founder of Weichert, Realtors®, one of the nation's largest privately-held real estate companies, called upon Congress to take action to stimulate the struggling economy amid growing national concern.

Specifically, Weichert proposed a tax credit for home buyers to rejuvenate the slowing housing market. A little more than 6 months later, Weichert's proposal has become policy as the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 was signed in to law.

"I want to commend Congress and the President for their quick passing of this important legislation. I was particularly pleased to see that this bill included a tax credit for homebuyers. This was something we knew was a critical component in terms of our economic recovery and we lobbied hard, along with the National Associations of REALTORS® and others, to make it a reality."

The Housing and Economic Recovery Act is expected to bolster the housing market - one of the largest and most vital sectors of the overall economy - by providing added incentives and opportunities for homebuyers. The bill provides for a $7,500 tax credit for first-time homebuyers while also permanently raising loan limits to increase buyers' ability to get the financing needed to purchase homes in higher-priced markets.

"The passing of this legislation is great news, particularly for anyone thinking about buying their first home," said Weichert. "The current market already presents a great opportunity for first-time buyers when you consider interest rates remain historically low, home prices continue to be more affordable than in recent years and there is a large supply of homes to choose from. Now with the added incentive of a sizeable tax credit, it would be hard for me to resist if I was a first-time buyer."

The new legislation also addresses several issues that have hampered the mortgage industry for the past year and in turn had a negative impact on housing. The recovery act will provide assistance for more than 400,000 homeowners at risk of foreclosure to stabilize the housing supply. In addition, the housing bill provides greater financial backing for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Weichert feels all of these measures will help support the housing recovery already under way in many parts of the country.

"Everything I have seen the last few months is telling me that we are at the bottom of the market right now. Pent-up demand for housing is real high. Our Web site traffic is up. Our Open House traffic is up. In fact, this June we had our best sales day in more than a year. This, coupled with the passing of the new housing bill, only strengthens my belief that we are turning a corner to a better housing market," added Weichert.

All the best,

REALTORS are the most important people in the world

David Eisley — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 09:58:14 -0500

It dawned on me the other day, as yet another township confiscated our Open House signs (at $30 a pop)....that the community at large has no real clue how vital we are to the community. As they told me that the signs were thrown in the dumpster and unretrievable, a flush of red came over my face. Yesterday, at a broker open, another one of our realtors received a ticket for having an Open House sign during the week. Now, the reaility is that people find Open Houses by signs....take down the signs...and they hurt their own local economy. Why don't they get this?

As I look around at our damaged economy and meet with client after client in desparate financial straits, I wonder why REALTORS have such horrible reputations. While I agree that many practitioners are less than professional, I would argue that the vast majority are competent REALTORS who truly have their clients best interests at heart.

Why aren't we celebrated? Why don't people listen to what we have to say?

Consider that every home sale that a REALTOR successfuly procures has an enormous ripple effect throughout the economy. We create jobs, tax revenue, and advertising dollars for every municipality we practice in. "The economic repercussions of a home sale begin almost immediately", Jim Weichert points out. "In the interval from contract signing to closing, home buyers call upon a wide range of service suppliers that typically include home inspectors, termite/pest inspectors, mortgage lenders, appraisers, title companies, insurance companies, and lawyers. When home inspections turn up problems, a handyman is employed to do fix-ups. On moving day, both parties in the transaction will need truck rentals or moving services. Even the state in which the home sale takes place benefits, as the state government receives income from the real estate transfer tax." Citing National Association of Realtors® (NAR) chief economist Lawrence Yun, Weichert said, "Based on the income of service providers alone, the sale of a $417,000 home generates $37,500 in direct economic activity, or approximately nine-percent of the sale price.

The nation's economy continues to benefit after the new homeowner moves in. First-time buyers may go to a giant home center or local hardware store for new door locks, paint supplies, and maybe a power lawn mover. They may have carpets cleaned or replaced, and hardwood floors refinished. They'll need blinds and window treatments and may splurge on new appliances, kitchen countertops, furniture pieces, and any number of other items.

Not surprisingly, trade-up buyers spend even more. Weichert said that it's not uncommon for trade-up buyers to do high-end kitchen and master bath renovations and spend thousands of dollars on adding a deck or upgrading landscaping. Moving into a larger home also requires more furniture and accessories.

A report published in 2005 by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) found that in the first 12 months of ownership the typical buyer of an existing home spends $6,540 on home-related items, while new-home buyers average $8,642 - figures that would run higher today.

Housing's economic impact is even more apparent when you look at the new-construction industry itself, which not only provides employment for the carpenter, plumbers, electricians, and others who work on the new home, but also promotes job growth in industries that produce and distribute building materials, heating equipment, and other home-related products. According to that same NAHB study, building an average single-family home generates 3.47 jobs and $82,269 in tax and other government revenue.

The lagging housing market has literally driven this company into a recession. How important is housing? As the single largest segment of the U.S. gross domestic product - accounting for 33 percent of all U.S. economic growth in the past several years - housing historically has been the powerful engine that drives economic prosperity. REALTORS have MADE MILLIONAIRES. After all, a home has no intrinsic value. You cannot go into a bank with your deed and walk away with a check (or if you did, it would be about 70% of its true value). REALTORS create demand through marketing, negotiation, Open Houses, etc... We CREATE VALUE. And yet......no respect.

So...I ask one favor of our local municipalities......Can you stop throwing our Open House signs away so we can try and earn a living and generate some tax revenue for you? Thanks so much.

BUY A HOUSE AND SAVE THE ECONOMY!

Web Marketing, The Weichert Way

David Eisley — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:48:41 -0500

Providing the Immediate, Personal Service Today's Online Buyers Demand

The Internet continues to play an increasingly-important role in real estate with 84 percent of buyers searching online for their home, the most common and useful source cited according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Despite this change in how consumers are getting their information, one important aspect remains the same - buyers still expect fast, personalized service from their sales associate. If anything, the Internet has only increased buyers' expectations as NAR reported that 92 percent of buyers rated responsiveness as very important.

While nearly all real estate companies have developed a Web presence, only Weichert truly addresses this demand for an immediate response. As a Lead Specialist, you benefit from a national Web site designed to appeal to the specific wants and needs of today's online buyers and from our Internet strategy that is based on the following winning-principles:

Drive Traffic to Weichert.com - Our site gets more than 35 million visits each year thanks to a multi-faceted approach including search engine placement, listing syndication partnerships, lead and link purchasing, banner advertising, and other efforts.
Keep Visitors on Our Site - We keep visitors longer than other real estate companies, increasing our chance to turn visitors in to clients. We accomplish this by providing the information buyers want quickly and easily. Our average search time is 10 times faster than Realtor.com.
Offer Fast, In-person Response - We're the only company with a call center that put visitors in touch with Sales Associates in real time. Visitors to competitors' sites sometimes wait several days for a response.

Weichert.com Generates More Visitors per Associate than the Competition

Already one of the top five real estate broker Web sites in the world, Weichert.com boasts another significant accomplishment that offers good news and an even greater opportunity for Weichert Sales Associates. Our Web site gets more visitors per associate than the competition. This translates in to more potential leads for you than what Brand X can offer its sales associates. For example, take a look at how Weichert.com stacks up against the site of one of our largest national competitors.

Company	Sales Associates	Unique Visitors per Month	Visitors per Associate
Weichert	18,000	1,000,000	56

It is truly remarkable that Weichert only expanded nationally in late 2001. We certainly are closing the gap at a remarkable rate....this is the latest data on Alexa.com

This measures DAILY PAGEVIEWS, which is certainly more relevant than daily visitors. After all, what good is your site if the visitor doesn't stay and look at homes?

WEICHERT IS IN DARK BLUE (I know, should be yellow......)

Weichert Sees Great Opportunity for First-Time Home Buyers in Today's Market

Weichert Sees Great Opportunity for First-Time Home Buyers in Today's Market

4/9/2008

Purchasing a home for the first time marks a major milestone in a person's life. James M. Weichert, president and founder of Weichert, Realtors, wants those thinking about buying a home to know that the current market offers one of the best times in history to get in to real estate.

Interest rates remain at historically-low levels, home prices continue to be attractively affordable, there is a large supply of homes to choose from, and despite the media-driven perception, there is plenty of financing available for qualified buyers. While these factors make it a great time to purchase a home for anyone, there are a handful of reasons that make now an opportunistic time particularly for first-time buyers.

"Buying your first home is a life-changing occasion and symbolizes the realization of the American dream," said James M. Weichert, president and founder of Weichert, Realtors. "Right now is a great time to check out the market and learn about the great opportunity that exists to become a homeowner."

With no home of their own to sell, first-time homebuyers get to take full advantage of the cost savings offered in today's affordable market without having to deal with any loss of equity that an existing homeowner might encounter.

First-time buyers also have a great deal of flexibility and can pursue a wide variety of housing options. Those purchasing for the first time typically have immediate access to their assets to allow them to move quickly when they find the home that is right for their needs. Often with no time constraints of their own, first-time buyers can also accommodate sellers who need a quick closing or can patiently wait should a seller need several months before they can complete the transaction.

The plentiful inventory of homes on the market today has created strong competition among those with a house for sale. As a result, many builders and sellers are offering all kinds of incentives to help their homes stand out such as offering to pay mortgage points and fees, providing a home warranty or free moving services, including furniture or big-screen televisions with the home or even throwing in a tropical vacation. This increased competition also makes it easier for buyers to negotiate with sellers.

For both first-time and repeat buyers alike, purchasing a home continues to be a sound long-term investment. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), on average, the value of a home nearly doubles every 10 years. With the typical first-time buyer often trading up several times over the course of their lifetime, buying a home now offers a great way to build up equity they can reinvest in to a larger home down the road.

"We know there are a lot of renters out there who are interested in learning how they can become a homeowner," said Weichert. "Our open house attendance is up, our Web site traffic is at an all-time high and we are seeing thousands come out to our buyer seminars. Clearly, more and more people want to seize the opportunity this buyers' market is offering."

All the best,
