FHA Appraisal Guidelines for Single Family and Condos- Effective 12/14/2012.       In May 2012, I wrote an article about appraisals entitled What Happens if my House Doesn’t Appraise for the Full Price?. The rules are constantly changing so here is some updated information effective 12/14/2012. The appraisal process is one of the most important parts of the loan process and generates a lot of questions. I specifically addressed FHA guidelines since 97% of most loans are FHA. Conventional and VA loans have different rules and your Realtor or lender can discuss these differences with you.     Appraisal must include a minimum of two active or pending sales on the form.   Appraisal must include 3 settled cases.   Appraiser must have all prices of home; original list price, revised list pric... 12/27/2012

Squirrels and Birds so Enjoyable at Southern California Beaches Yesterday, we went to the beach and drove from Newport Beach, to Laguna Beach and then ended up at Doheny Beach in Dana Point.   While walking down the sidewalk near the breakwaters, I spotted a curious white squirrel. It was peeping its head out of the rocks so I threw an orange slice and some bread crust. While this white squirrel was sitting there eating it, the birds showed up and a second squirrel appeared. Sorry guys, but that is all I have.   It was such a beautiful and relaxing place to visit so I plan to go back soon. I will make sure to take more orange and apple slices and maybe some nuts too.   Beachgoers were out sailing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The weather was sunny and warm and I thought what a lovely ... 09/18/2012

  Snug as a Bug in a Rug!   We had a big storm this morning so my girls were not very happy. They were hanging out on the stairs but then they got really quiet and I couldn't find them.   Called them, looked outside, checked the garage, and just couldn't find them anywhere. Went into my office and there they were sound asleep or at least acting asleep anyway. I left them alone and they had a nice long nap.©       These pictures were taken in Loma Linda, CA by Kristin Hamilton.   If you are looking for a professional agent, I am just a click away.

Came home from work today and my Chihuahua, CoCo, was upstairs barking and growling. So I run upstairs and here she is barking at the birds in the backyard. She was so excited as it appeared to be about 10-15 birds flying around and standing on the wall near the feeder.   Then as I got closer to the window I noticed my other Chihuahua was outside barking at the birds too. By the time I ran downstairs, Tootie was on the wall and of course the birds had flown off.

I bought this plant a year ago. It was beautiful and even my dogs liked to go and sniff the flowers.   Recently I noticed it looked like it was dying!   I found it hiding in the geraniums. When watering it, a huge grasshopper jumped off. This Grasshopper decided to go swimming.   Good-bye to the bad little grasshopper!

It was a cold and rainy day but when I arrived at the baby shower, Sophia was laying in front of the fire. I reminded me of a water color when they paint the cat curled up in front of a blazing fire. She laid there for at least an hour and didn’t care that the house was full of people making noise. Everyone stopped to pet her and had to step over her since she never moved. She is such a funny girl! I used to do open houses for the owner and we are old friends.
