short sale: What did I do this summer?
- 09/02/11 07:48 PM
Well you probably guessed it, my oldest daughter graduated from college. Oh yea, she also got married. That might explain my hair style. The truth be known, all four of my daughters are the joys of my life. Kaitlin is no exception. She graduated at the top of her class with 4.555555 grade average or something like that. I didn't realize you could get anything higher than a 4.0. The wedding was great. My wife and I cried like babies. That was the hardest thing I had to do in my life to date, to give my daughter away. However, like … (6 comments)
short sale: Must Read For All Realtors
- 05/04/11 08:02 AM
Book Review: Title; "The Thank You Economy" If you are a Realtor and are over 40 yrs old, then you must read this book by Gary Vaynerchuk. He sums it up for us folks who still don't get it when it comes to " Social Media". As usual I thought I knew everything about this area. Well now that I have read Gary's latest renderings, I do, at least for now. I'm going to make another shift in my actions, thinking, conversation......Rather than tell what the book is about, I'm going to share with … (2 comments)
short sale: Hemet REO Report
- 12/16/08 10:55 PM
I got a call from a friend, who belongs to the local jeep club, and he asked if I wanted to go on a "snow run." My thoughts immediately went back to a childhood spent frolicking around in the elements until I couldn't feel my toes. Then I realized that I wasn't in Ohio anymore but rather we were in Southern California. Therefore he must be talking about going to the Idyllwild-Pine Cove area via the fire trails. We had made a similar trek earlier in the summer minus the snow. I figured this would be a little more exciting … (0 comments)
short sale: ANZA REO REPORT
- 11/03/08 04:33 AM
Recently my youngest daughter and I had the privilege to attend the Redshank Rider's annual Turkey Treasure Hunt. Although we don't own a horse yet, we thought it to be a good excuse to eat lunch in Anza, California. What does this have to do with real estate you might ask? Well,it has everything to do with real estate. You see some of the prettiest country sits up in this arid mountain community. Fresh air and beautiful mountain tops are a couple of reasons why it's worth the trip. The Redshank riders are a group of horsemen (and women) who are dedicated … (0 comments)
short sale: Murrieta's REO Report :The Anatomy of a Short Sale part 3
- 10/03/08 11:20 AM
Oh no, we received an offer, now what? I can remember not too, too long along when I received my first offer on my first listing. Oh no, we received an offer, now what? Call the bank and inform them that you are trying to sell your client's house and that the market value is less than what is owed therefore it is being sold short of what is owed. (Please note that this is not intended to be used as a script but only as a guide.) Ideally the conversation should be an informational session. Basically, … (3 comments)
short sale: SHORT SALES REMINDER
- 09/23/08 07:22 AM
Do these two images go together when you think of short sales? I have found that being "nice" to the person on the other end of the phone, who is there to help, makes things move more expeditiously. After all isn't that what we all want a speedy operation? And I think operation is a good way to describe the process we all have to go through in order to get these deals done. I have found that being humble but firm is the best emotional state to be in when pursuing a short sale. Something as simple as being polite … (7 comments)
short sale: TEMECULA'S REO REPORT
- 09/22/08 05:32 AM
With banks heading to the hills or where ever they go when they shut down, the time to have access to a reliable lender has intensified. A reliable lender can be designated by their aptness at adjusting to shifting markets. Please note that I'm not a lender but its no secret that we agents can't perform our jobs effectively without the support of the financial institutions. So a good agent will have access to good lenders. We shouldn't take these people for granted. … (0 comments)
short sale: MURRIETA'S REO REPORT
- 09/22/08 05:01 AM
All the houses I looked at for my clients back in June have all been sold. They were are all banked owned properties and all located within two blocks of each other. There are only two properties on the market in this particular area of Murrieta. Neither were there at the time of my sell. My advise is still the same if you find the property you like and can afford it buy it because it will not last. Something else to keep in mind is that it is more important then ever to have a buyers agent who knows how to … (0 comments)
