Chase Bank is Giving Delinquent Home Owners 30,000 to Short Sale their Home!
I got a call from a client of mine that received letter in the mail from her bank which is Chase. They have been unsuccessfully trying to do a loan mod for over 1 year now to no avail. They called me to see if this was a scam. I told them I have read about this short sale program and it is for real. It seems that Chase is offering this to people who have really bad loans, at least this is the case with our client.
Our client's home is an investment property and as part of the conditions of the short sale, the bank is waiving all rights to go after any deficiencies. Sounds like a good deal doesn't it. We were told to list the property at fair market value and that we would get a fast approval.. We had an auction date early June which I was able to get postponed.
If anyone has a Chase loan and want to find out about this Chase short sale outreach program, give me a call to see if we can help you short sale your home.

Who are the Voiceless Casualties of the Housing Crisis?
Have you ever asked the question, “what happens to the pets of people who are displaced from their homes?”
As Realtors, Kathy Dyer and I are designated as Distressed Property Specialists. We have the privilege of helping people navigate through this difficult and declining housing market. Many people are losing their homes and having to find temporary housing or apartments. Others stay with family or friends until the dust settles. We understand what a difficult and stressful event this is in peoples lives. There is another population that is being displaced and we want to help as well.
It is a sad fact that people are having to make difficult and heartbreaking decisions about their pets. Kathy and I visited with the Staff at the Placer SPCA to see what we could do to help these displaced animals. We were so impressed and moved by the work that the SPCA is doing to help people and their pets. The SPCA is very sensitive to the needs of the animals who have lost their homes. They have programs that help with boarding expenses until the owners find housing. They also have loans and grants to help with pet deposits for apartments.
For assistance with pets and services for displaced families, check out the SOS Program for help. Their goal is to keep people and their animals together whenever possible.
If you know anyone who is struggling to keep their beloved pets please share these links with them, www.PLACERSPCA.org. Be sure to check out their many volunteer opportunities and community events and fund raisers.
Kathy and I will be working with the Placer SPCA to help raise awareness about the services and needs of our voiceless, four legged friends. I am actually going through the orientation and classes to become a volunteer. There are so man
y different programs and volunteer projects you can become involved with. Everything from fostering puppies and kittens to adoption counseling to marketing and special events.
Don’t forget to visit the SPCA’s thrift shop right there on Washington Blvd! Please keep posted as we will be posting updates about the activities and events about the Placer SPCA!

First Time Home Buyer Traps to Avoid for Roseville Buyers
DON'T BECOME A BUTTERFLY BUYER 
Butterflies that go from flower to flower gathering nectar are like buyers that go from listing agent to listing agent trying to see if a particular home is available. More often than not, anxious buyers are later disappointed to learn that another buyer has already placed an offer on the home. Once this happens several times, a first time home buyer will become more proactive and attain a buyer's agent.
If this has happened to you, find a Realtor that will set you up on your own customized personal portal. These portals can be set up to email you every morning with the newest listings that hit the MLS that match your criteria. No more wasting time looking at homes that do not match what you want. Let technology save you time.
Not many people know this....the Realtor MLS displays new listings from 24-48 hours before the public internet real estate sites display them. A savvy first time home buyer, who is working with a Realtor, will see these homes first and have the opportunity to make offers before the general public. Most REO bank owned properties get multiple offers the first day they hit the MLS. If you want to find the good homes, the early bird gets the worm. Go find a Buyers Agent to represent you, not the seller. Fill out the form on our website at HOME TEAM GIRLS to get started on a portal.
DON'T LOW BALL YOUR OFFERS
Following the economic housing market collapse, desperate sellers were often eager to accept an offer, any offer. Until recently, any first time home buyer looking for competitive prices may be disappointed. Competition that comes form cash paying investors, international buyers, and downsizing retirees have made a noticeable impact on the market. In January 2011, about 32% of purchases were made with cash, up from 26% a year ago, according to (NAR) National Association of Realtors. Sellers are often more inclined to accept these offers since they don't need to wait for a lender to approve financing. Placing a slightly higher offer may incline a seller to accept your offer over a lower cash offer.
WAIT TILL THE MARKET HITS BOTTOM
No one has a crystal ball, but what we do know is this: interest rates will not last at this rate for long. Many economists predict that interest rates will go up the 4th quarter of 2001 or early 1st quarter of 2012. Once hit with higher interest rates, the affordability factor for a first time home buyer, will affect the price range they qualify for. They will be stuck having to buy a smaller, less upgraded or older home than they can buy now. Home prices are great now, don't fall victim to procrastination.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT FIRST TIME HOME BUYER PROGRAMS AND HOW TO GET STARTED, CALL THE HOME TEAM GIRLS- www.HomeTeamGirls.com WE CAN GET YOU SET UP ON YOUR OWN SEARCH PORTAL.
Since the beginning of the mortgage scandal, where most large banks allegedly processed hundreds of thousands of foreclosure documents improperly, Wells Fargo has maintained that its business practices have been in accordance with the law.
John Stumpf, Chairman and CEO of Wells Fargo, released the following statement: "We are confident that our practices, procedures and documentation for both foreclosures and mortgage securitizations are sound and accurate. For those reasons, we did not, and have no plans to, initiate a moratorium on foreclosures." For more info go our website at Upside Down Home Cures.com .
What does this mean for a home owner that is behind on their Wells Fargo Mortgage? If a foreclosure is looming on your horizon, the best solution best is to talk with an experienced short sale realtor. The Short Sale Realtor can recommend some alternatives to foreclosure and point you to professionals for advice on the possible tax ramifications or deficiencies comparing foreclosure to a short sale.
