Mortgage Servicers Are Under Pressure to Modify More Loans

This Wall Street Journal article illustrates how focused everyone is on the lender -- With little more than a glance given to distressed homeowners.

Former Countrywide Execs To Profit From REO Markets

DannyFlucke — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:00:39 -0700

Does anyone else find this ridiculous?

Former CW senior executives are now heading up a company with Fannie and Freddie REO contracts - Even though they have ZERO real estate selling experience.

(Is that why they are just now getting their real estate licensing in order...?)

They make Multi-Millions in salaries and bonuses at CW - Which certainly had a major hand in creating this real estate bubble - Only to turn around and profit again from the REO market.

HVCC - ONLINE PETITION TO VOICE YOUR OPINION

DannyFlucke — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 12:48:33 -0700

In just weeks - Over 16,000 agents have spoken out and signed an online petition asking for the recall of the HVCC legislation.

HVCC legislation requires a third party to control the appriasal process. It was designed to eliminate "influence" from lenders and real estate agents who might pressure for a higher value.

Since this legislation was designed by politicians and not actual business people - It causes undue stress and frustration for home buyers and refinance candidates - While not solving any of the issues mentioned. more...

TREATING REAL ESTATE LIKE FAMILY--WITH RESPECT

Julie Jones — Mon, 18 May 2009 14:00:31 -0700

I had a meeting with a potential seller who instructed me, “Julie, give me the advice that you would give you brother-in-law about marketing his residence.” His suggestion was a very interesting approach and it effectively enabled us to communicate very honestly and directly with one another (even though I do not have a brother-in-law)!

This gentleman made me aware that I do become involved in my buyers’ and sellers’ requirements as if they were family, despite the fact that, really, I am just one of the highest paid guests in their residence—or soon to be residence. more...

FORT LAUDERDALE: THE LEAN, GREEN SUNSHINE MACHINE

Julie Jones — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:35:21 -0700

A previous blog of mine cited the U.S. Department of Energy in saying that Floridians spend about 20% less per person on energy than any other state in the country. One reader wondered why.

I offered an immediate response, but the question got me thinking. Why is Florida so energy conscious? I conducted some research on my sunny city of Fort Lauderdale and found the simple answer in the local Sunday paper: People actually care.
There was an entire section dedicated to actively going Green in our city. Here are a few points I found. more...

SEO and the Internet future for Real Estate

OaklandRealEstate — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 10:05:23 -0700

In speaking with many of my fellow Realtors, I am amazed how many of them have a website yet never receive a lead or phone call from that website. It's the whole "if a tree falls in the forest" thing. If you have a website and nobody ever visits it, does it really exist? The answer is probably NO because they are visiting your competitors website instead. These figures have recently come out and it speaks volumes as to the future of Real Estate and the internet. more...

Julie Jones — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:24:45 -0700

The National Association of Realtors reported a 30% decrease in the sale of second homes in 2008. In contrast, analysts predict long-term demand for investment and vacation residences remains favorable because of those buyers in their prime years looking for a retirement home. This may be especially the case as buyers witness the retraction in their stock portfolios and return to good old bricks and mortar in the sun! more...

This particular buyer is a venture capitalist, extremely thorough in his approach to real estate investing and accurately predicted the market downturn. more...

THE HIGHEST PAID EMPLOYEE

Julie Jones — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 15:44:38 -0700

In this market where both buyers and sellers are challenged by uncertainty and frustration levels rise rapidly to the surface, I think it is critical to remember one very important fact in terms of buyer and seller perceptions: As real estate professionals, we are their highest paid employee.

Buyers and sellers share the desire to exchange real estate. In my estimation, with a potential $30,000 pay-check for every million transacted, the buyer or seller deserves a white-gloved service. more...

What is the State of the Market in Seattle?

danielbretzke — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:18:42 -0800

What is the state of the market? I hear on the radio and read in the newspaper that housing prices are continuing to go down in price. I read that people are being laid off from their jobs. How much farther will prices fall? The stock market is off, with the DOW average being more the 50% off from the high. Housing prices in Seattle area are down 16%. Some people fear that houses will be 50% off from the peak, so why not wait until that $500,000 house is $250,000? Can it happen? The stock market went down by that much, so why can’t the housing prices go down that much. more...

DO UNUSUAL TIMES CALL FOR EXTRAORDINARY ENERGY?

Absolutely. A potential seller I met with last week commented, “I want a broker who is going to bring energy to marketing my house and not just collect another listing.”

This struck me as profoundly thought-provoking, especially in light of the President’s recent speech. Bringing a high level of personal energy to business is challenging at the moment, especially since every American must draw on personal, extraordinary energy to help rebuild their corner of America. more...

Good morning all and Happy New Year.

Well I for one would like to hear about your individual markets. Maybe this is a good forum to discuss what is happening in your markets.

In the Austin, TX MKT we saw a slow down in activity in Dec but there seems to be a noticeable difference in the last week in buyer activity and interest in most price ranges. We have enjoyed a healthy job market here but there is evidence that we are starting to see a slow down in that vital area so I am sure there is a direct correlation. more...

Fort Lauderdale enjoyed a 26 percent increase over the number of homes sold during November of 2007. Mind you, the median home sales price fell 34 percent, but home sales did continue to rise. Fort Lauderdale’s condo sales for November 2008 grew 3 percent from sales in 2007. Again, prices dipped 30 percent, but sales did rise. more...
