What happens when escrow is delayed
5/13/2008 1:52 AM
Selling or buying a home is stressful and when escrow doesn't progress as it should it can be a nightmare. This question from my weekly Real Estate Q & A pops up frequently: We sold our home a month ago and escrow was supposed to be 30 days long. We just learned that the buyer is not ready to close escrow and still has not secured financing. ......

Are they walking? Are they running? Or are homeowner's simply not paying?
5/11/2008 10:17 PM
We have foreclosures in our listing inventory. The foreclosures are a result of homeowners walking away from their financial obligation to the lender. The bank is not being paid and the bank forecloses. Not all of these owners are “voluntarily” walking away, but if they aren’t paying their loan, what do you call it? Both the New York Times and......

More Ridiculous MLS Photos
5/10/2008 1:19 AM
When you hire a Realtor, you expect them to put forth their best marketing effort. I employ a photographer who takes at least one photo of each room, then Natalie and I select the best photos. The photos are then used on the Internet (MLS, Realtor.com, our real estate websites, DP's website, etc.) and of course print advertising. This home didn't ......
 
Glendale’s Southern Belle
5/9/2008 11:38 PM
Lovely home, but always a hard sell. Known as Kolonialvue, this 1930’s jewel offers 6 bedrooms, 5 baths in over 7000 sq ft on nearly an acre. Unfortunately the home is sited on a flag lot (built behind another home); which is likely the reason that it is always such a hard sell. MLS Stats4/02 $2,197,000 168 days on market, listing expired (did......

Why Bush should veto the Frank Bill
5/8/2008 5:37 AM
George Bush and I finally agree on something!!!! Veto the Frank Bill! LaTourette said Frank sold him by making the plan voluntary and pointing out that it is projected to help hundreds of thousands of homeowners at a cost of only $2.7 billion over the next five years. Analysis: The president is right, up to a point. The bill would reward specu......
