debora nichols: Is Solar power right for you? - 04/02/13 10:02 AM
Is solar power right for you?
 
Are you considering having solar power installed on your home?  Do you buy it out right or do you sign a lease? How long will the lease be good for? Is it a graduated lease?  These are just a few of the questions you need to ask before you make that final decision. 
                                                                   As a homeowner, we want to do improvements on our homes that will either increase the value of our homes or at the least help to maintain it's value.  Solar is one of those items that is becoming … (2 comments)

Fannie Mae admits to demanding 20% more than market value
 
We all know someone or have had a client who's short sale was countered by Fannie Mae for much more then market value.  We try and try, we escalate, we ask for another BPO, we run and provide our own comps.  All to no avail.
 
A little background.  I have listed Fannie Mae REO's for several years now.  My colleauge's and I have constantly complained to our asset manager's that these properties were listed way to high at 10-20% over market value. As a result we had over priced listings that … (8 comments)

debora nichols: Short sale deficiencies untaxable in 2013 - 01/24/13 02:59 AM
Short sale deficiencies untaxable in 2013
 
The Mortgage Debt Relief act has been extended for one year as part of the last-minute "fiscal cliff" agreement.  Congress guaranteed that homeowners who do short sales on their primary residence in 2013 will no be taxed on the "deficiency".  This is the difference between what is owed on the mortgage and the sale price of the home.
 
Without this debt forgiveness, this deficiency would have been considered earned income.  So if someone had purchased a home  for $350,000  with a $300,000 loan, and it sold for $250,000, they not only would have … (0 comments)

debora nichols: Short Sales are Challenging at Best - 10/02/12 05:48 AM
Short sales are challenging at best.  Some are more difficult than others.  
I had great clients.  They understood the process, provided me with all the documents I needed in a timely manner and took great care of their home.  We quickly received several offers on their Tramonto home.  Once under contract, we submitted the short sale package to the lender and in about 30 days we had an approval.  Sounds great so far, right?  Well, in the time it took to get the approval from the lender the buyer lost her job.  So back on the market we went.  In … (4 comments)

debora nichols: Tramonto July 2012 Is The Frenzy Almost Over - 07/16/12 08:42 AM
 
      Is the Frenzy almost over?
 
 A couple months ago I wrote an article called the "Phoenix Market is Hot Again." Inventory was declining at an incredible rate and demand was high. The truth is that demand has been high. Nobody really noticed it because our inventory had been so high for so long. Cash Buyers and Investors have been very busy buying up properties and turning them into rentals. Rental properties have been in high demand because of all the people that have lost their homes to Short Sales or Foreclosure. 
Here we are three months later. Inventory … (5 comments)

Traveling with your Pets?
 
Summer vacation is here.  Are you thinking about taking your pets with you?  Have you thought about where they will ride?  The recent roll over car accident of a well known Dog Agility trainer, who lost two of her dogs in the accident, has brought this issue to light. 
Do you wear seatbelts?  Do your kids wear seatbelts?  What about your pets?  Seatbelts have been known to save lives.  So why do we put our kid’s in seatbelts and not our pet’s.   Pet’s are part of our family’s, right?  Wouldn’t you and your family … (5 comments)
