If you don't have a PDF conversion & document management system, you're going to need it.  The old business model was: Create a paper offer Get it signed by your buyers in person or via FedEx Fax it to the listing agent Receive the accepted offer faxed back Fax it to the escrow officer (along with an unsigned offer so they can see the clear copy) Keep a copy in your paper files Keep your paper files in a file cabinet in the office Carry the important files around with you Run to the office every time you need a document Keep boxes & boxes of old files in your garage for 10 years But today with the ability to work virtually from anywhere in the world, and to be eco-conscious with "green" environmentally friendly business processes, here's our new reality: Create an offer online from ZipF...

This is a Credit Suisse chart that shows the oncoming mortgage resets for ARMs, Option ARMs, Subprime Loans, Alt-A Loans, Prime Mortgages and Agency Mortgages. A significant amount of mortgage resets are scheduled to occur in 2010, 2011, and 2012. So when these resets occur, homeowners' monthly mortgage payments will increase. From JAN 2009 to SEP 2010, this is the mortgage ARM reset peak, and the ARMs won't clear out until Jan 2012. Conclusion?  Short Sales, Foreclosures, Bankruptcies, and REO's are here to stay!  At least for the next 3-5 years. Regina P. Brown

According to a recent survey from Foreclosure Radar, a leading web-based research firm that monitors foreclosures in California, the number of foreclosures in California decreased in December '09 as compared to December '08. When comparing SLO County to other counties with in the state, however, the number of foreclosures actually went up when comparing December '08 with '09.  However, when comparing the volume of foreclosures in San Luis Obispo County with other counties within the state, SLO County barely registers.  This, in large part, can be credited to the county's geographic location, but most importantly, to its ridged control over growth. If an educated conclusion can be drawn from this industry survey, volume should be used as the most import factor as it applies to evaluating...

Realtors® - trying to negotiate your own short sales?  Bending over backwards to make the sale happen?  While you're trying to negotiate with the 2nd mortgagor/trust deed holder, have they asked you to make them a cash payment "outside of escrow" which won't be reflected on the HUD-1?  If so, watch out!  Your license is on the line!! http://www.cnbc.com/id/34877347 "So these second lenders are asking for the payments off the closing documents, off the HUD statement, usually in a cashiers check prior to closing. Once they receive that payment, they will allow the short sale to go through, which according to RESPA laws and the lawyers that we have spoken to on the topic is not legal." says investigator Brandt. "Brandt told me he's heard from at least 200 agents that they've had these requ...

  If you are looking at a "short sale" home to purchase in Grover Beach, but the seller (or borrower) has a 1st trust deed and a 2nd, the likelihood of both lenders working out a solution is slim to none-particularly if a home's value has continued to diminish during the short sale process (typically 6 months or longer).   So you know, a successful short sale on a home with both a 1st and 2nd trust deed is entirely contingent on the 2nd trust deed recouping a minimum of 10 percent on the current loan's balance.  Furthermore, the actual close-of-escrow-ratio of homes being sold through a short sale process is less than one percent.   Don't confuse REOs or Foreclosures with Short Sales.  For more information on the pitfalls of Short Sales,   Click to read my entire Short Sale Advisory   ...

So you want to sell your house.  You feel confident in your sales abilities.  You have an attorney friend to help you with the contracts and disclosures.  How hard can it be to stick a "For Sale" sign in the ground, put an ad on Craig's List, and hold a few open houses?  After all, that's what your real estate agent does for you, right? Hold it right there.  Because you forgot the main thing you need.  You are a seller.  The ONLY thing you need is BUYERS. What about your open house and internet ads?  Won't that you get you BUYERS?  Statistics prove that only about 2% of buyers come from an open house.  So what about Craig's List?  Well, how are you going to ensure that the buyers are prequalified? So then -- how to get BUYERS? Don't worry, as a FSBO, you'll probably get plenty of buyers...
