Wow! A big week for closings…..Wondering if now we’re over the hump of lenders having to use the new GFE-Good Faith Estimate. We have not seen this many Equity Sales close in one week in I can’t remember and the high closing was in the $700,000 range and the low was in the $200,000 range. For weeks we’ve had closings under $200,000.

A light week for closings due to the holiday.

Seems just about everyone is checked out for the most part. I put a REO/Bank Owned listing back on the market after the appraiser blew up the deal by triggering excessive lender required repairs. The property is the second least expensive on the market and I’ve only gotten about 5 calls so far.

Interesting article in the WSJ regarding homeowners and their equity.

Don’t forget 30% of all homes have no mortgage against them.

NAR Code of Ethics 2009

Is your real estate agent a Realtor?

When a real estate licensee ~ salesperson or broker joins a local board of Realtors they must also join California Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. Only then can they call themselves a Realtor!

If your agent does not belong to all 3 associations they are technically a “real estate licensee” not a Realtor.

Here’s a little pet peeve of mine…..we are not Real-la-tors. We are Real-tors. There is no -la- in Realtor and if you can’t properly pronouce your own profession….well then in my opinion you don’t deserve to be one.  If you can’t pay attention to the detail of properly pronouncing your own profession what other details are you going to miss in ohhhh something huge like a CONTRACT!
