Don't assume your buyer will want to challenge an appraisal that comes in under purchase price. I had an escrow recently in which the appraisal came in almost 10% under purchase price. I am representing the buyer in the transaction and got a phonecall from their lender when the appraisal finally came in (which was almost 30 days after the fully executed contract). The lender said the appraisal was way off, and that they were going to fight it and submit a rebuttal.  I really didn't delve into whether or not I felt the appraisal was way off myself, but I did sort of tell the lender that the decision to submit a rebuttal to the appraisal can't be made unilaterally, and that it has to be the decision of the buyers. The buyers, for this reason and others which I really can't get into, decid...

Are you a "Gatekeeper"? Or do you "Fly By The Seat of Your Pants"? What does an Agency Disclosure mean to YOU? In California, and many other states, any real estate transation requires the buyer or seller and their agent to sign an Agency Disclosure.  I've included a sample of one that we use in California here. Basically, it describes and clarifies the existence of a FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP between the client and their real estate agent. I put alot of stock in this form.  The relationship between an agent and their client is not only one of trust and discretion, but it is one that inevitably must be excecuted during the course of a real estate transaction, and more importantly, within the framework of a contract for that transaction. Not an easy job to accomplish, sometimes. I think it'...

We paid for a bus drivers sandwich at Subway! Pay It Forward Richard and I were at Subway the other day picking up a quick bite on route to our next appointment. In line behind us was a gentleman with a great attitude, and the Subway counter guy asked what he wanted. He replied "Anything you got, just as long as it's free!" That gave us a little chuckle. I noticed he was wearing a uniform, so I asked him what he does for a living and he stated that he was a bus driver. Richard and I told him that we would like to buy his lunch for him. He was gracious and thought it was the coolest thing ever.  So did we!  I have to tell you, it's the best feeling ever to do some of these little things for people.  The look on their faces is priceless.....

ActiveRain MasterMinds Challenge - May 2011 - Foreclosures: What's the best way to prevent or handle them? OK, MasterMind Groups. Time for you to do what you've done best: Develop the best solutions. Here is the challenge for May, 2011: Should we make the emphasis on creating more programs for the homeowners to hold on to the homes? Should we make it easier for them to exit and find other housing solutions?  Is "Cash-for-Keys" the answer?  What about the physical condition of some bank owned properties versus lender conditions for people to buy them?  Is that problematic?  How do we handle that? Your team's solutions must be posted HERE on this blog post no later than June 1st, 9pm Pacific Time in order for the team to be assigned the bonus points. Also, you must list each team member W...

A Note to the Pay It Forward Group Members............... Hi everyone! Just wanted to touch base with all of our Pay It Forward members and thank you all for your continued blogging. I enjoy reading these posts, and quite frankly, some of them are very touching. I just want to give a shout out and remind everyone what the original intent of the group was from the beginning. What we want to see here are personal examples of how you've offered an act of kindness to someone or some group or cause. I've had some people call this "bragging", but it is nothing close to that. It is providing examples to others. On many occasion, I've read some of these posts and have felt so inspired by some of these acts that I have duplicated them myself. And that is what we were hoping for here.  To create ...

Good morning everyone! May the 4th be with you...... Not sure how many of you out there are Star Wars "die-hard" fans, but I remember in junior high school seeing the first Star Wars movie, and ever since then looking forward to the next. I remember in high school making a pact with a buddy of mine that in the future no matter where we were, we would get together to see the next Star Wars movie. Well, that sort of crashed and burn, since LIFE happens. But anyway, just wanted to give a shout out to everyone...........

Donated $30 to SaveAfricaNow.org today - Pay It Forward I was at the GoGreen Expo today at the LA Convention Center.  There were many very cool exhibitors there and some celebrity keynote speakers. You can check out what the GoGreen Expo is all about here: http://www.gogreenexpo.com One of the exhibitors was a non-profit organization called SaveAfricaNow.org. They raise funds for children who are stricken with AIDS and/or orphaned also. I'm not even going to go into a description of that because I will probably break down, so excuse my brevity because I just can't go there. Anyway, I presented them with a check for $30, and I am going to be helping them raise funds with my association with DailyTicket. If you're in a postion to give a few dollars too, please do so. Much love and positiv...
