Is a No Cost Refinance a Free Ride?   Back in the '70's, Edgar Winter extolled the virtues of taking a free ride.  But since that time and especially when it comes to transactions in the financial world, most of us have been conditioned to know that nothing's ever free. So how does this square with the concept of a "no cost" refinance?  We hear about these all the time and our clients ask for them.  How does the no-cost strategy work and can it offer real benefit in the right situation?  We cover all these timeless questions in this short, fun, rockin' video:  Decided to take a free ride by my side?  Please give me a like or subscribe on YouTube!  It's time to begin,  Rob SpinosaSVP of Mortgage LendingGuaranteed RateNMLS: 22343 Cell/Text: 415-367-5959 rob.spinosa@rate.com Marin Office: ... 02/10/2022

They would have not known until they got home at end of their work day had it not been for their caring new neighbors who quickly texted the prior Listing agent, who then quickly called & texted me, and I quickly contacted my client, and he'd had ZERO IDEA that access to the inside of their new home was WIDE OPEN  of course!

 How's the market, Elizabeth? Our Silicon Valley economy continues to be operating at healthy levels, and our real estate micro-markets continue to operate in a Sellers market! A home here is very valuable and has become even more rare due to historically low inventory levels and high buyer demand continues which means that you must have the right Realtor that you connect with and who will work hard to help you get where you need to go!* Otherwise you will spin your wheels and time is of the essence in real estate..

Comments from Vegas Bob will be limited for quite some time because he only has a couple smart phones and (no) desk top computers or laptops.So this being said, all of Vegas Bob's posts to Activerain will be done on smart phones with limited photos, etc.Comments can be difficult also with the small buttons, etc on smart phones so comments from Vegas Bob will not be in large numbers.So I guess if you get several comments from Vegas Bob, consider yourself lucky because he will not be throwing very many out until he gets his hands on a computer.And that could be several weeks or several months ;o/Vegas Bob is in California so he has no access to his personal computers, etc. 05/16/2016
