I would love to send this post to any out of state buyer that is having a difficulty understanding why the prices out here in CA. aren't congruent with what they've heard in the media. This has been an issue that must be overcome sometimes because people forget that the mass media is usually repo...

OMG! Belinda's post just reminded me of my horror story regarding a walk through. I had a client who was very difficult to work with and that should have told me that things weren't going to get better as they went along. so he finally closes and it's time for the final walk through. Even though ...

I have had clients decide not to sell their property in this current market and decide to rent it out instead. I can totally respect that option but I just had a situation where some clients of mine didn't really like the idea of having to short sell their home. Due to some hardship they were now...

Lora's list of potential signs that your home is over priced reads like a page of real estate 101. Unless a seller has been living under a rock, they should know that things aren't where they used to be. Here in San Diego, CA. we have seen appreciation in some of our zip codes throughout our coun...

The first questio...

Paddy brings up an interesting point about hardship letters. I can see how it would be important to have consistency when trying to negotiate a mortgage solution, whether it be a loan modification or a short sale, to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that the reasons are the same. I'm ...

There are times when a lower offer is justified based on the current sales in the area. if a seller has been on the market for 5 months they should expect the market to change and ask, if their agent hasn't provided them one, a new CMA or a list of recently sold homes similar to theirs. In this p...

In this day and age of real estate scams Mimi's post id one for the books. How did this seller think he wasn't going to get caught right away. Unless he has a private plane he can fly himself and get out of town there's no way he w could have pulled this one off. It reminds me of the fellow here ...

Mike poses a great question about what our time is worth. Do you know what your time is worth? If so, then you know how to best spend your time because in no other business is this more true than in real estate, How you spend your time will greatly affect your income. Mike's post also raises an i...
