We had a meeting in Temecula with a Wachovia Rep today.They have a short sale program for homeowners here in Temecula and Murrieta that can be approved in less than 30 days! This is not high tech but is done via a hands on approach with a local Wachovia representative and your local real estate agent. If you have a mortgage with Wachovia,World Savings or Golden West and need a short sale contact me.     03/16/2010

A lot of agents have left the Real Estate business because of how hard it is to survive.  This is when they go thru the process of asking themselves if they were really meant to be in the business or not.   The real question is...is it really because of the economy why people left the business or is it because of how people really come up with their decisions in life? I just think that whether it is Real Estate or not, it is how we make decisions in life.  Will you quit because it is too hard to survive or will you fight until the end even if you starve to death?  Do you think that Loyalty, commitment, or even a fighting spirit will always play a big role on the success of what we do? I believe that it really boils down to someone's upbringing and character on how they make decisions.  ... 03/15/2010

I got a call from a friend and she was telling me that she got a job in San Diego at a Healthcare Industry.  She wasn't very excited about it but she says it pays her bill especially now with everyone having a tough time in this economy.  My friend is tall, beautiful and a very confident woman with an "A" type personality.  With this, she normally gets into problems at work because of jealousy or political problems with other people.  I have an idea of what she is talking about and I couldn't help not to suggest that she should find something else that would really make her happy and not settle for a job just because it pays the bills. Real Estate for me is the best thing that ever happen in my life.  In this business, people are more respectable and they are not jealous.  People I've m... 03/14/2010

Tour De Murrieta - Bikers Live and Ride in Murrieta, CA and Welcome Visiting Bike Teams   The City of Murrieta blocks off the Old Town Center streets to parking for the street bike race it runs each year, the Tour de Murrieta.  This caused my son and me to have to walk two extra blocks to get to the Old Town Vista Donuts shop.  But that is a good thing when one is getting a donut... walk it off!   And it was worth it to see the racers.  It was very exciting to see the pack of riders whoosh past.  Also made us long for our neighbors who moved this past summer to Texas due to a job transfer.  Their bicycle team family was so important to them.  We even now use their dentist, Dr. Pulsipher, a big sponsor of the Murrieta team.  Here are some pics!     Curious about living in Murrieta and be... 03/14/2010

There are many factors to a Murrieta Short sale time line. The first factor is who is your lender and who is the investor. Yes who is the investor. If lets say you did your loan with Bank of America, you may think your loan is with Bank of America and that's it. NO, in most cases the bank is just the servicer of your loan and the investor will be another party like, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.So we are not working one on one when we as your agents are working a short sale.We most likely will be working with a servicer and this is just one of the many players we have in the short sale process.The other factor that you as a seller has, is complete control over who you hire as your agent. You need to have a agent that is a short sale specialist working for you.From start to finish a short s... 03/14/2010

NO COST TO YOU SHORT SALE! CALL ME I CAN HELP YOU THROUGH THE SHORT SALE PROCESS. Laura@realtywrks.com 951-588-7050 What is a real estate short sale? A Short Sale, also called “Short Pay” is a process through which your lender agrees to settle for less than what is owed to them. They do this as an alternative to the expensive and time consuming process of foreclosure. Each lender has their own  process through which they decide whether or not to accept a short sale, and while there are many similarities, each has its own requirements for approval. As a third party mediator, we have a distinct advantage in negotiating with your lender.  Short Sales are a way for homeowners to avoid foreclosure on their homes and still be able to show the mortgage as paid  on your credit report.          ... 03/01/2010

Market Report for East Side of Murrieta, CA - Murrieta East   Looking at the activity of Active, Pending (under contract but not closed), and Closed Sales gives us an idea of whether the market is "moving," whether buyers and sellers are coming to agreement on price and terms and consummating sales.  Add to that the "on the ground" view of full time agents - anectdotal but helpful - that homes hitting the market right now in February 2010 are receiving multiple offers, sometimes 20 to 30 offers, in the Murrieta East market, as well as throughout Murrieta and Temecula.   Getting an offer accepted out of those multiple offers takes experience, persistence, patience and timing.  Having a local agent who understands your loan program and can make your offer look attractive to the seller is ... 02/26/2010
