That's right fellow rainers, that's me with another commission check that was a direct result of my AR blog.
I received a call from a consumer who had come across one of my blogs about a local down payment assistance program here in Los Angeles county.
She was a first time buyers and she was having difficulty finding a home for her and her girls in her price range. She wondered if she would be eligible for down payment assistance then perhaps she could afford a little bit more and this may help her find better properties.
I eventually met with her and pre-approved her and she was able to qualify for a higher price range. In April, she found a really nice three bedroom home that wasn't like a lot of the run-down, dilapidated, dumpy REO's she had been seeing in the valley.
Unfortunately, we had a few problems and delays getting to the closing table starting with a pesky title issue that the seller created right after escrow opened. Then there were issues with the uncooperative sellers and agents who couldn't understand why this was a problem. SERIOUSLY!!!
But the issue that was almost the deal breaker was the stunt the seller pulled right before my borrowers final walk-through. It was that asinine stunt that had my borrower screaming breach of contract and requesting that the transaction be cancelled.
In the end, it all worked out and my client received restitution and was pleased with her home. Right after closing, my client and her girls were already painting their rooms and her youngest was so happy with her new bright pink room. This is why I love what I do and why I'll continue to blog on AR.
