Vera's Real Estate in Vacaville

Homepath Renovation financing is new to me, and I would like some answers for my client.  My buyer wants to  offer on a property that qualifies for the Homepath Renovation Mortgage.  Do we offer what we think the property will be worth once the renovation is done, or what it is worth in it's curr...

Yesterday I got some interesting information about a program that helps find and negotiate short sales.  I am always quite cautious about any of these programs.  They cost  $$$ and often don't live up to their promises. This one intrigued me though. Has anyone heard of Program 3648?  Does it work...

What does it mean to be accountable?  Recently, a life and business coach advised me that there is very little difference in the way we run our lives and the way we run our business.  So what does that mean and how do we show others we truely are accountable in our lives as well as our business p...

Unfortunately I haven't been very good about blogging.  Since the beginning of the year I think I wrote only one or 2 blogs.  One of those blogs was about my New Year Resolutions.  I just read it again......Hmmmm, not doing so well.  In fact I'm doing down right terrible.  When I wrote about my r...

One of the first things I learned in real estate is that there are an enormous variety of ways to spend your money on this business.  As soon as you get your license, there is someone there trying to sell you something.  At first I spent a lot of money on what I thought were must haves.  I know I...

Considering the way this Real Estate market is, with prices falling, difficult mortages, cautious buyers and the media putting it's own slant on everything, I find myself reflecting on what it means to buy a home.  Traditionally, buyers had a goal to find a place to call their own.  A place where...

I know many people have had great luck with short sales.  And I know I haven't really given it a fair chance, but I hate short sales.  This is why; I've  had 3 different buyers try to purchase a short sale home and all 3 transactions have given me trouble. Here is what happened.  On the first sho...

This is a great time to buy.  I've said it before and will continue to say it.  Find a daring agent who isn't afraid to search, then negotiate a great deal and you can buy the perfect home for your family and your budget.  Thanks to the media, everyone is afraid prices are going down..........wel...
