Its a really nice day today… Happy Friday… please go and enjoy!!… Cheers Everyone…
HELLLOOOOO My Wonderful Beautiful Bay Area!!… The sun is out and is hanging out longer these days… more time for us to get out and enjoy our neck of the woods… even after work… plenty of light for all of us!…
Our real estate market all around our Bay Area is coming back by leaps and bounds… Sales have been inching upwards for a few months now… Sellers are reaping the benefits due to very low inventory and Buyers are out in droves vying for a chance at home ownership… taking advantage of the low low interest rates to boot…Not so much fun for buyers since this is a seller’s market… meaning multiple offers for the sellers and buyers are pretty much stuck if they dont offer over list, short times to remove contingencies or the most minimal shortest times to remove contingencies, bigger down payments, very quick close times etc etc…
Nevertheless abit of good news to share with you as sellers, buyers or just plain market watchers…here’s a goodie for you… as a result of a recent listing I had… even tho a short sale… with 2 loans… from the actual list date to close of escrow took a mere 2 months…from date of short sale approval from the bank to close of escrow date took less than 35 days… Now we’re talking!!… it is possible to rise above the Short Sale craziness of months and months and months of delays working through the various bank depts and myriad of bank short sale specialists who never seem to stay very long, who always seem to lose vital information… you can end up triumphant and literally close the transaction in the same amount of time as a normal regular transaction…Not a very usual happening but I do believe the general state of Short Sales are indeed getting better in as far as the length of time they’ve been known to take…
Its very possible the Short Sale process is finally getting more streamlined… I cant declare this sentiment as universal just yet but as the listing agent on this recent short sale… everything worked out super well for sellers, buyers, realtors for both sides, banks and buyer”s lender and escrow officer… it took all of us to work together to make it happen and make it happen we did!!… Huge Congrats… Luis, Melissa, Shayn, Megan, Karen, Randi, Marie & Julian (asset manager)…
If you’re considering putting your home up for a possible Short Sale and more importantly if you’ve already received a Notice of Default (NOD)… please call me at 925.997.2426 or email me at isiwu@comcast.net… Lets Talk… I Can Help!!
Good Day My Wonderful, Beautiful Bay Area!…. A small reprieve for those about to be evicted due to foreclosure…
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac said on Monday they would provide a break for borrowers facing foreclosure to ensure those having problems making monthly mortgage payments will remain in their homes during the holidays.
Fannie Mae said its eviction moratorium would apply to single-family homes and two- to four-unit properties from December 19 through January 2, 2013. Freddie Mac said it would offer the suspension from December 17 through January 2, 2013.

HELLLOOOO My Wonderful Beautiful Bay Area!!… I hope you’re well…
Question of the Day…I’m looking for a place, house or apartment, to rent in Oakland. The trouble I’m having is all the scams! Help!
Response… Hi Rachel… its a good thing you’ve been able to weed through the “scams” and not become a victim!… Its a huge hurdle to search on your own especially if you’re not familiar with the area… when moving from an out of state situation and you dont have any references from co-workers, friends or relatives…most times you’re best served if you contact a local “well established” property management co who handle mostly rentals… before you commit to any one of them… make sure you like their working style, how they communicate with you, what services they offer, what areas they cover, ask them to forward you a list of their current inventory, never hurts to check with the Better Business Bureau & check their credentials etc …ask if there are any fees they require from you… You sound very clear about what you’re looking for…. Good Luck to you and Thanks for Your Question…
