There's a program that was rolled out in April that aims to prevent homeowners to fall into foreclosure. It is called HAFA, the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program. The intent of this new program is to facilitate the sale.   The summary of the guidelines are as follows:    * Complements HAMP by providing a viable alternative for borrowers (the current homeowners) who are HAMP eligible but nevertheless unable to keep their home. * Uses borrower financial and hardship information already collected in connection with consideration of a loan modification. * Allows borrowers to receive pre-approved short sales terms before listing the property (including the minimum acceptable net proceeds). * Requires borrowers to be fully released from future liability for the first mortgage d...

In my blog we discussed that if you are planning to short sale your Downey home and you have a HELOC as a second trust deed you have to take steps in order to avoid being sued for any balances owed. Feel free to see the full report by clicking above or if you prefer see the video below for the full report.   Wells Fargo started to sue over balances owed on HELOCs late last year. Expect for Wells Fargo to start ding this in California soon and other banks to follow their lead.   One of the things to remember is that banks are trying to recoup lost money at all costs. We can't blame them right? It is their business to do that.   However, it is also YOUR DUTY to protect yourself and your family. Please see the video below for the surprising answer to stop banks dead in their tracks if they...

My key qualities are that I do my homework, I know my contracts, and I am a great negotiator.  Most money is saved/lost during the Buyer's contract offer.  A great Agent does NOT concede every little detail of the transaction to get the sale.  Each "detail" can cost anywhere between $50 to $6,000.  Are you ready to save some money?   I will do the following things:   1. If I am not available, I will return your phone calls quickly/promptly.       2. I will give you prices for comparable (comps) properties.  3. I will show you ONLY properties that fit what you are looking for.  4. I will let you know FIRST when any great deals come up.  5. I will negotiate the best possible deal on your behalf.   Search my site: www.SanGabrielValleyHomeSearch.com   Your REALTOR serving: Hacienda Heights...

This Blog officially makes my 100,000th point here on Active Rain. I wanted this Blog to be especially sentimental. I began thinking about the things that matter to me: family, friends, and my wife (of course). I am much too busy for bars and clubs...so...okay...I met my wife on the internet. It was a dating site for singles. I saw her picture and then I read her profile (this was my first impression of her). Like it or not, I had my first impression of her BEFORE I even met her or spoke to her. I know that it doesn't sound fair. However, in the internet realm...your profile is your first impression. Having said this, let me ask you a few important questions:      -Is your picture professional and current?      -Did you take the time to relly show WHO you are?      -Is the information o...

Historically, the time between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day have been the best time to buy a home. Many Buyers are too busy with cooking, entertaining and buying presents to be able to shop for homes. The amount of competetion is low and sellers know that there will not be many offers during this time. Maybe you can get a deal?

Well here's the truth America! Your favourite realtor hasn't been in the real estate business long! To be truthful it's only been about 2 years and a few months...that little time span is enough to tell you that it's been a struggle and I have learned so much in such little time. I recently took a regular sale, yes that's right I didn't stutter a regular seller who can choose to sell his home if the price is right without have a bank tell him what's right or wrong. Well before I took this listing, I was working and still continue working with buyers. These buyers were overly qualified in the sense that they were definetely able, ready, and willing! With 20% down payment, and making offers based on comparative market analysis with criteria like 3 months solds, 1/2 mile radius, and the be...

Arvizu Sr. California writes: The problems were facing today such as jobs, the economy, the housing market, and national security far outweigh the President of the United States desire to pass a bogus health care package down our throats, especially the 1000 plus pages of garbage.  Politicians be prepared to lose in the 2010 elections, regardless of your party affiiations, be you a  democrat, republican or indepndant, the American people can only take so much and if you dare pass legislation such as the crap you have on the table right now. Americans can only take so much abuse.  Once you back us up into a corner, our patients only goes so far, don't expect the American public to buy into this outright fraud against every hard working American.

It looks like we let the "Fox in the Hen house"  Am I the only one to see through this mess.  The Federal Reservve caused this mess, yes the Federal Reserve.  Back in the last Quarter of 2005, Chairman Greenspan had the chance to re-correct the market to a slow and soft landing by stopping the quarter point increases in the Fed Funds Rate.  It takes normally 6 to 9 months for the market to react, instead the FEDS Choose to stop raising rates well into 2006 and took a wait and see attitude for well over a year plus several months to make a move to lower rates to counter act and the market.  The Feds found themselves chasing the market with large moves to lower rates back in September of 2007,the market got out of control, to complicate matters, the other entity that controls Fannie Mae a...
