spirit messingham tucson: Reaching Millennials
- 02/23/16 05:16 AM
Research indicates that millennials have grown up with a strong distrust for big institutions. That same research tells us that millennials have trust issues – they lived on the sidelines during the subprime meltdown and foreclosure fiasco – and they have a hard time trusting the “older” generation. Many of them watched their parents get crushed when the housing market burst. It is understandable if they will be cautious when considering what could be the biggest committment of their lives, and largest investment.
The typical real estate agent is 57 years old, and the average age of a loan officer is 54. … (1 comments)
spirit messingham tucson: Changes to the Closing Disclosure That Re-start the 3 Day Waiting Period
- 01/06/16 02:31 AM
Once the lender issues the new Closing Disclosure (CD) and the borrower evidences receipt of the document, the three day mandatory waiting period begins before the borrower is allowed to sign the loan documents. The day the borrower evidences receipt of the CD is day one. Sundays and holidays do not count in the three day waiting period. Lenders are allowed to revise the CD during this waiting period and this happens frequently. Most revisions do not re-start the three day waiting period. The three changes to the CD that would re-start the 3 day waiting period are change in loan … (1 comments)

spirit messingham tucson: When Does A Property Offically Close in Arizona?
- 11/26/15 02:02 AM
In Arizona, as in many state, recordation is the official close of escrow. Lender loan funding is a critical step and absolutely necessary component of closing but recordation is the final step when ownership actually transfers. Just because the lender has funded their loan does not necessarily insure recordation. There can be situations where the Title company is not aware that the lender has sent their wired funds and thus this can delay recordation. This occasionally happens during high volume times at the Title companies. The transaction usually ends by conducting final walk thru 1-3 days before the COE (Close of … (0 comments)

spirit messingham tucson: In Arizona When A Contractor Must Be Hired To Make Repairs
- 11/16/15 01:34 AM
In Arizona must the seller use a licensed contractor to make roof repairs? Here is an example: The buyer and seller executed an AAR Residential Resale Real Estate Purchase Contract. After the home inspection, the buyer requested that certain roof repairs be made. In the Buyer’s Inspection Notice and Seller’s Response (“BINSR”), the seller agreed to repair the roof. The bid for the roof repair is $2,500. The answer? Yes.
Why? In Arizona “it is unlawful for any person” or entity to submit a bid or provide construction services without a contractor license. A.R.S. § 32-1151. There is a commonly cited handyman exemption to … (3 comments)

As an experienced buyers agent I am in over 500 properties a year showing properties. After viewing thousands of homes, sitting thru over 200 home inspections I have learned many new things.

spirit messingham tucson: Think All Lender's Are The Same?
- 09/21/15 05:10 AM
Think all lenders are the same? Not true. Earlier this month, the Community Home Lenders Association posted on their website a side-by-side comparison of consumer regulation required of non-bank mortgage lenders versus banks. The details are chilling. Every individual Loan Originator at a non-bank lender must: • Be licensed • Complete SAFE Act Mortgage Competency Test • Complete 20 hours SAFE Act pre-licensing courses • Pass an independent criminal background check • Do 8 hours/year of SAFE Act continuing education Banks are completely EXEMPT from ALL of the above. Further, all non-bank mortgage lenders are subject to CFPB exams covering: • Compliance … (4 comments)
