Funny how life changes make you rethink many ideas you had during your life.  I once told my father, who was a golf lover; I would never follow a little white ball around a course.  Now that I'm older and I think wiser I have taken up this sport and understand why getting away to the golf course was so much fun for Dad.   Here in Corona we are blessed with many fine courses.  I recently visited one which is located in South Corona-Eagle Glen.  Eagle Glen is peaceful and challenging course that has many scenic vistas. The clubhouse is beautiful with a great menu selection.  Since the course is located at the foot of the Cleveland National Forest it is a perfect retreat from your busy schedule.  The course was designed by world renowned architect Gary Roger Baird and provides for a lot of... 04/07/2009

Sierra Del Oro, Corona, California Update As you may have noticed in the first 3 months of 2009, buyer activity in Southern California is beginning to increase noticeably.  Inventory of available homes in Sierra Del Oro is at an extremely low level, which lends to the increased chance of multiple offers on listed properties (especially those homes which are a good buy).

Corona Short Sale Update Corona, California Short Sale Update Many homeowners considering or involved in the short sale process have questions about the time frame expected from Short Sale beginning to end.  I frequently get questioned why there is such a discrepancy in turn times for different lenders. The answer is not as complicated as you might think.  While there are different factors in short sale turn times, the main reason for the difference is the staff in place at the bank in question.  Typically smaller banks have representatives that interact more closely with the agents involved in the short sale, while having a direct line of communication with the decision makers at their respective companies.  The larger banks have.... 1) More short sales to deal with,and 2) More asset ... 01/14/2009

Adultery IS an epidemic in this country. What can we do? Refuse to do business with people with low morals such as Jay Baird. 11/24/2008

Jay Baird cheated with a married woman. Jay Baird is a Realtor in the Inland Empire/Corona. I worked with him on a few deals. Then a colleague forwarded a blog by the husband of the woman he cheated with. The blog has since gone private and I cant get into it anymore, but it was shocking. Jay Baird deserves every sad thing that will happen in his life. Too bad it will affect his family as well as that of the man who's wife he chose to have an affair with. 11/20/2008

Loan Modification Sample Hardship Letter Loan Modification Hardship Letter As unfortunate as it is having to write about the subject of hardships, loan modifications, and short sales, I feel compelled to post an article to clarify the loan modification process and the importance of a well written, well thought out hardship letter.  As you may have guessed, you will also need a hardship letter should you attempt to get an authorization for a short sale.
