Finding a Marin Realtor

Looking for a Marin Realtor

As a Marin resident since 1993 and a loan officer since 2003, I can help you find the right Marin Realtor for your needs. Whether you’re buying or selling.

As a loan broker since 2003, I have worked with Marin Realtors and have an extensive network of real estate professionals to draw on to help you find the best Marin Realtor for you.

Here are some Tips for Finding A Marin Realtor:

1. Ask someone in the Real Estate Field: People who work in Real Estate have relationships with Realtors and can give you several to choose from.

You might think going with the most successful top producing Marin Realtor is the way to go. But the number one Marin Realtor may not give your property the attention it deserves. It’s best to meet at least 3 Marin Realtors and talk to them about your situation. Like Goldilocks and the porridge, you’ll find the one who is “just right”.

I have helped several clients and others in need of a Realtor referral. A recent client, decided to relocate to the East and needed a Realtor to sell her home. Using my real estate network, which includes Realtors, escrow officers, loan agents and real estate attorneys, I recommended 4 qualified Realtors for her to interview. All the Realtors I suggested were experienced in her her local area.

2. Interview them over the phone: Before connecting her to the Realtors, I discussed her situation with them over the phone. We talked about what they thought the challengers were regarding my client’s property. I then let my client know a little bit about each of them including the results of my interviews and encouraged her to meet and interview all four of them.

3. Meet the Realtor in person at your home. When you interview them over the phone, ask them to come to your home to discuss listing your property for sale. Each Realtor should arrive with a current market analysis to let you know what homes have recently sold for in your neighborhood. They can talk about the state of the market, the number of days homes are staying on the market before selling and other trends that will affect your home sale. They may also discuss challenges in lending that might affect the sale. Finally, they will also discuss and recommend improvements you might want to make in order to make your home desirable to a larger number of buyers. A good Realtor will have a network of experienced and affordable contractors to give estimates of any work that might be recommended.

My client chose the Realtor I thought was the best fit for her. That Realtor was the most familiar with her neighborhood and was the most proactive of all the folks I spoke to. Instead of reacting negatively about the client interviewing several Realtors, this Realtor was encouraging about having my client meet and interview others.

So if you need a Marin Realtor, or any Realtor in the state of California, I can help you find the right Realtor for you in your town and like Goldilocks in her quest, we’ll find the Realtor who is “just right” for you.

Free Loan Modification in California

A Free Loan Modification in California is what you get when you use a non profit agency. That sounds great and might be the way for you to go, espeically with all of the con artists and scammers out there taking money from homeowners with big promises. Federal and State Agencies are cracking down on these charlatans who prey on distressed homeowners.

Just how does Free Loan Modifcation in California work? Hope Now is the organization that HUD refers homeowners to.

They don't charge homeowners. The Hope Now Alliance was funded and set up by the largest mortgage servicers in the U.S. How does this avenue of Free Loan Modification in California and the U.S. stack up as far as results, you might ask? That is a great question! The Hope Now Alliance released their results January 31st, 2009, of over 1,000,000 homeowners who applied for a modification in 2008 through their non-profit agency, a little less than 20% got a true modification.

California homeowners, particularly those who may not want to represent themselves, may also seek out licensed real estate brokers who have received a "no objection" letter for their advanced fee agreement from the California Department of Real Estate. But buyer beware: Please don't make the mistake of thinking that because a Broker is on the list that they are endorsed in any way by the Real Estate Department. Ask them questions about long they have been engaged in loan modification work, what training and study they persued, how much they charge and how their fee agreement works. Get references and proof of their prior successes. Do you get any money back if they're not successful? If you can meet them in person that is best. Know who you are dealing with and if you don't feel comfortable about what they charge or how their agreement works, say no thank you and move on.

Go with your instincts and be a smart consumer.

a Free Loan Modification in California may or many not get as good a result as working with a broker. The old adage You Get What You Pay For may apply, if you choose wisely.

I was recently crowned "Queen Of The Loan" by the Windsors because they heard that I give my clients "The Royal Treatment".

As part of my duties, it turns out I'm required to address the public, so after LOTS of Royal coaching, here's a little song....
