I am always amazed by how many clients I work with who come to me unaware of all the pitfalls they face during the loan process. To help avoid any surprises while waiting for final approval, I provide my clients with a short list of "do's and don'ts" to follow. Let's start with the "do's" ...

Hello Everyone, There have been several reports by residents about a group of people that are going door to door offering to paint house numbers and American flags on the curb in front of the resident's house for a small "donation". Per the Municipal Code, you must have a permit to paint numbers on the sidewalk in front of your home. Please do not pay for these services. You can view the flyer that some of the groups use here http://bit.ly/1BbH6Jc.   News from your Vallejo California REMX Realtor Tim Garton 707-315-5555
