Lessons has learned from the short sales My short sale listing is approved today after 4 months waiting. I learned the following lessons: 1). Authorization letter from the seller: After you received an offer get the seller to write an authorization letter and sent it to the lenders. Yes! All lenders. No one will take to you. 2).The bank will request some information get them all ready and fax to them once please. The bank usually needs : accepted contract, hardship letter from the seller, 2 months pay stubs, 2 months all bank statement, HUD statement. 3). The Bank will will order BPO to appraise the value of the property. 4). After the bank evaluate this case. If they felt is possible then it will move to a negotator. The negotator will contact you. Please work with him or her efficient... 05/04/2009

My buyer bought a Silicon Valley short sale home on January 29,2009. After we agreed to pay $20,000 more than asking price. The bank approved our offer. However, the bank requested the seller to bring  $2000 at the escrow. The seller has no money so he started ignoring the listing agent. You can tell the bank never get any money from the seller. Last Tuesday my buyer wired all cash to the escrow account . We are ready to close on last Friday. The title surprised with the news that the seller has a 3rd lien from the bail bond company just one day before the close, We were in dark for many days don't know when we be on title. My question is' "We have a 3 month long escrow. How come the the title company did not know this 3rd lien early? We know the seller usually has the financial problem... 04/29/2009

There are some great programs for buying new homes in San Jose (and other areas as well) that are ending VERY soon. For many of the San Jose city programs, the buyer must have a ratified contract by 4/24/09. Yes, that is VERY soon. But, if you are interested in new construction in San Jose, it may be worth moving fast. The city incentives range from $40,000-$110,ooo from what I have personally seen with the programs. And, there is also still MCC money as well. Plus, until the funds run out, buyers who buy new construction from March 1, 2009 to March 1, 2010, can get a $10,000 tax credit. Also, for the new communities, many of them are offering lender incentives up to $20,000 that can be used towards closing costs and other incentives. Some are even offering appliance packages in which t... 04/15/2009

The regular workouts that are held M/W/F are heart pumping (or not---you choose) workouts. During the workout there might be a moment where you are given the opportunity to FreeDance. My current routine does not have a lot of that, but hopefully we will move onto ones that do, so Sunday, April 19, 2009  is your opportunity to learn a bit about Nia and to learn how to incorporate FreeDance into your workout. It is a fun energizing workout disguised as a dance. On, Sunday, April 19, 2009 I will spend about 20 mintues sharing something about Nia with you, then you will have the rest of the hour to dance.
