With all the changes in the industry lately I wanted to see if I can get a somewhat accurate account of what short sales have been accepted lately and from which banks. The information I would like to know is :1) Which Bank accepted the short sale2) How much of a discount did they take3) How long had did the home owner have the note before they defaulted4) What was the reason for the hardship5) How long did the process take (one you had the offer to the date the bank accepted) I have heard "rumors" of people saying they have had short sales accepted when the seller only owned the property 3-6 months. I am trying to figure out if these are B.S. Stories or if the banks are actually coming around. I know I put a good short sale package together and I am getting very frustrated with the lac...

I just wanted to Welcome Natahsa and Stephanie to Palmdale. Both girls are exhange students from Germany and will be attending Quartz Hill High School.  They are part of an exhange program offered throug ASSE. For More Information.Natahsa has been here for over a week but Stephanie has only been here a few days. But in the 3 days she has been here we have taken her Sailing in Santa Barbara and today we went to Venice Beach.  When I asked Stephanie how she liked the Beach she said "It was very nice but I am glad I did not get a host family who lived here". She is very happy in Palmdale.I hope the next 6 months is as exciting as the past 4 days!

As real estate agents it is out job to educate our clients when purchasea home. Although most of us are not attorneys or CPA's, we can not get legal or accounting advice but we are able to suggest to our clients to seek additional advice. One topic that I do not believe is discussed often enough is the importance of a living will and trust.  I know that most people do not like to think about their final days and figure they will do it later, but we need to instill the importance to protect their assets and to spare some grief if that day should come sooner then expected.Living wills and trusts are not very expensive and can even be done on-line (legalzoom).  If a Will and Trust is established before escrow closes you an have escrow record the property into the trust after it closes so t...

According to CNN Money Lancaster California is ranked #10 as one of  "Fastest Growing U.S. Cities" (http://money.cnn.com/2007/06/27/real_estate/258_fastest_growing_cities/index.htm). Palmdale California was #25.This is great news for all of the Antelope Valley residences that are concerned about the rising amount of foreclosures.  The current market conditions should be looked at as a great opportunity for those who would like to buy second home and for those first time buyers with good credit.There are some amazing deals out there. Tonight I looked at a property in Antelope Acres that was almost 5,000 sq. feet with about 10 bedroom rooms on 1.5 acres with an in-ground pool for under $265,000! Wow - what an opportunity for someone who would like to have a board and care home or a facili...

Can you believe that more than 1.3 million new cancer cases are expected to be diagnosed in the United States this year? Those are staggering statistics, but there is hope. Each of us can do something to save lives and help those already fighting this disease. That's why I have decided to take action against cancer by supporting the American Cancer Society Relay For Life®. Relay For Life is an overnight event being help September 15-16, 2007 at Highland High School in Palmdale. It will help bring the Antelope Valley together to help support the American Cancer Society and its lifesaving mission to eliminate cancer as a major health problem. The Society works hard every day to prevent cancer and save lives by supporting groundbreaking research, affecting public policies that protect us f...
