ActiveRain March Challenge: Life Lessons from ParentsPatricia Feager and Lew Corcoran are the hosts for the "March 2025 ActiveRain Challenge: Sharing the Gift of Who You Are." The ActiveRain challenge is to share the profound impact someone had on you in shaping you to who you are today.During this second week of the ActiveRain March Challenge, my thoughts turn to the life lessons I learned from my parents. When we are young, we sometimes have no idea of the impact that the actions of our parents will have on our lives as adults.Yesterday, I received this email comment from my younger sister, Wynne Roos: "I learned from Daddy's example of being kind and friendly to everyone he encountered. He "never met a stranger."  I learned from our mother to listen to people, especially to those who...

Foreclosures and Short Sales will determine how much homes will be SOLD for in 2009! Fernando, what about all these vacant foreclosures in my neighborhood, aren't they dropping home values around me? If you live close to a vacant foreclosure, first of all you may want to watch out for unusual activity around the home. Call the Realtor listed on the sign, call his office or just call the police if you suspect something is not right. Vacant homes are magnets to crime and unruled teenagers doing thousands of dollars worth of damage to homes around the nation. Now, when it comes to your equity. . you are losing control, actually you never had any. . A vacant property on your neighborhood is sucking the equity of everyone’s homes.  This is the time you need to get involved making sure that ...

Montgomery County REALTORS have just been handed a new addendum to the Contract of Sale. It's the Utility Cost and Usage History Disclosure Form and sellers now have to disclose, by law, in writing what their utility bills were for each of the last 12 months. That includes kwh's used, gallons of water, and amount of heating oil. It's a pretty interesting concept that you now have to disclose how much energy you use. And, the amount of energy you use could affect the value of your home, assuming that you leave lights on and keep the heat or A/C going. This addendum serves to inform the buyer of how much they are really going to need to budget for utility bills, also it lets the buyer know if the home is energy efficient. If it's not, that will definitely affect it's value. A good rule of...

I often get asked by my buyer clients, "What about short sales"? I just left the manager's office at a nationally recognizable mortgage company. While I was talking to him about a personal refinance another agent knocked on the door. She was there to check on the status of a short sale offer that her clients had made on another agent's listing. Because his bank held the first trust on the short sale property, she asked him to pull some strings and see if he could expedite the process. The offer had been accepted six weeks ago and the seller never disclosed that they had been in default for over five months. Just a week before, the buyer's title company discovered there were not one, not two, not three, but four recorded notes on the property that well exceeded the value of the contract ...

I have been trying to gather as much information about Fannie Mae's new approach to the pre-foreclosure market.   A lot of the 3 and 5 year ARM's that were so popular that many years back are poised to convert and it's going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back for even more homeowners. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Countrywide launched a beta program in Orlando, Florida and Phoenix, Arizona actually setting short sale prices, pro-actively and allowing eligible sellers the opportunity to avoid foreclosure. I haven't heard how they will set the prices, but an appraisal and a BPO would probably be a good place to start. If the program extends the time the defaulters are able to stay in their homes until it sells, there could be a huge advantage to everyone. The properties may suffer...
