URGENT HVCC UPDATE:
Thank you to everyone who responded to our article last month concerning the business-destroying HVCC legislation - And for signing our petition to overturn it.
HVCC continues to devastate home values across the US. The mortgage industry is now faced with EXPANSION of the HVCC fiasco with higher Fannie and Freddie loan limits.
HVCC will carry through to former “jumbo” markets forcing more and more downward preasure on homeowners real estate values. more...

This Wall Street Journal article illustrates how focused everyone is on the lender -- With little more than a glance given to distressed homeowners. It is interesting to note that while the various government bodies are cleaning up the "loan mod" industry - They still have not issued any sort of consumer guide to help homeowners needing assistance. Here are a few tips: more...
On July 30, 2009, some of the provisions of the Mortgage Disclosure Improvement Act of 2008 (MDIA) go into effect and lenders, mortgage brokers, title agents, real estate agents, and real estate brokerages need be alert as to these new federal governmental regulations. Here are the details for the MDIA: more...
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.
Here is the link: http://blogcatalog.com/search.frame.php?term=countrywide+reo&id=c38dad1c... more...
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...
Please join us in supporting "Drug Abuse Is Life Abuse" on Sat June 13th.

There are two ways to join in: more...
There is such a temptation towards self focus in these challenging times where survival of the fittest seems to prevail. However, I would like to share a fine example where the focus on team work and strong organization really impressed me. more...
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...
I was fascinated to read the story of Cameron Hughes on a recent SouthWest flight to a conference for Who’s Who In Luxury Real Estate in Las Vegas. Cameron makes a living getting spectators out of their seats. He is a professional crowd pleaser. Hired by team managers, Cameron describes himself as a Fan Gladiator. He works to win crowds by giving the something they’ve never seen before. more...
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...
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...
Over the last year I have shown many of my luxury listings to buyers who have genuinely asked, “Will you put me on your list for this property?” more...
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? 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...
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...
After a week full of showings, emails, telephone conversations and meetings on my luxury inventory I found a whole new attitude surfacing. The re-emergence of a back-up contract is an activity I am actively encouraging among the sellers and buyers with whom I work on a daily basis! more...
Yes.
Such a little word, but oh so powerful.
During the course of the day our spoken and written dialogues contain so many yes and no expressions. I was thinking the other day how much more energy and negativity is attached to, “No” when sometimes, “Yes, let me look into that”, would open so many more doors and influence attitudes positively. more...
My London colleague, Nick Churton, with Mayfair International, has posted another optimistic discussion on his blog, London Calling. With permission, I have re-blogged it here for your enjoyment.
LIFE, CONFIDENCE AND THE REAL ESTATE MARKET
The start of this fresh year is a good time to reflect on the turbulent months behind us in the real estate market, and to look ahead. It is surprising how similar the US real estate market is to that of many European countries right now. But perhaps this year we ought to think twice about trying to second-guess the future. 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...
BUYER INVOLVED IN A REAL ESTATE SCAM!!!

In a shifting market your position in your real estate team changes from being a manager/owner back to being the lead generator. The things that worked in past real estate markets no longer work today. Your use of marketing dollars and time spent prospecting must change. Below is a list of the top ten sources for leads in a shifting market. Each topic will be discussed in detail in future posts. more...
As 2008 comes to a close, the Florida Association of Realtors reported that existing home sales in Florida rose for the third month in a row in November. 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...

The R word has finally been spoken. Not only the US, but the world is acknowledging the recession we have all been experiencing. While there is talk the recession will be long and turbulent, my optimism for success remains prudently intact.
The luxury market here in South Florida is still active. There have been more inquiries and offers made as of late to ensure closings before year-end for tax and homestead purposes. However, all indications point to a slowing market in 2009. more...
There are only so many original thoughts a team leader can come up with to motivate, inspire, and lead a real estate team to a higher level of production. I would encourage growing teams to add reading the same book as a group each and every month. more...
My friend Gustavo Farfan, has prepared this article, hoping to turn the mindset of our community from negative to positive thinking. I hope he is right,lets see what you think about his view. Gustavo Blachman. SHOULD I BUY NOW OR WAIT UNTIL THE PRICES DROP MORE? I hear the same line of question from clients and Real Estate agents. more...
What do “chi” alignment, the number 27, “space clearing” and “hungry ghosts” have in common when selling a residence? Feng Shui. Yes, you read correctly. An article in November’s Realtor magazine says sellers experiencing long periods between listing and selling their properties are hiring Feng Shui practitioners to use the ancient Chinese technique to dissipate the negativity of financial woes by realigning the “chi”, or energy, of the property.
And, guess what? The article says it’s working. more...
So you've found a house that you would like to flip, or you've decided that you want to flip a house, but you are not sure how cheap you need to buy one in order to make a nice profit. more...
After watching a disturbing video on Inman on home foreclosures in Southern California, I became acutely aware of how much Americans caught up in the net of losing their homes to the volcanic mortgage situation lost something more precious than their homes: They lost their integrity.
The video showed abandoned, completely furnished homes being “trashed out” by a company hired by the banks to empty the property to be ready for sale. Brown lawns are being spray painted green to improve curb appeal for marketing. What are these people thinking? more...
