Short Sales will be around for a while... get used to them!

Today’s short sale buyer may be at an advantage purchasing a short sale property compared to a
foreclosure because if the borrower stills owns the home, he or she is likely to take better care of it. Patience is now required until the approval process is updated and efficiency improves from banks, lenders and investors; who approve the net acceptance price for opening and closing short sale escrows. We have closed new listings in less than 90 days with efficient servicers. Other properties can take over a year with changes in condition, occupancy and legal status.
We love helping our sellers, and buyers with shortsales. Our short sale department is tenacious and efficient. And so is our probate, relocation and foreclsure department.

Who Will Run the Program? Each state will administer its own cash for appliances program. The states will be free to select which residential Energy Star qualified appliances to include in their programs and the individual rebate amount offered for each appliance. What Can You Buy?

Proposition 8 - Can reduce your property tax bill

Today I would like to try to save you and your friends some cash on your next property tax bill. If you currently don't own real estate please feel free to forward this email to your friends and family that may benefit from Prop 8. Proposition 8 – What is it? Will it save you money?
