Here it goes,
As some of you already know from a previous blog I went skydiving for my birthday a month ago. All of a sudden last week I realized that I missed my deadline to renew my drivers license. Last Tuesday I took the time to go to the DMV office to renew my license. I get the number "G320" and the last G-number they called was G289. Keep in mind they call all the C-numbers, I-numbers, B-numbers, C-numbers again, B-Numbers Again per every one G-Number!!!
So it seemed that I was there about almost two hours just to be helped by a clerk to help me renew my license. Okay, as I'm waiting inpatiently in the waiting area filling out the Driver's License renewal application I realized that it was going to take quite some time so I decided to look and study the people at the DMV office. Anyway, back on track here...
Long story short, the "G320" number finally gets called. As I walk to window number 24 two corners around from where I was sitting, I noticed the DMV was already closed not letting anyone else in. They were just helping the ones that made in right before 5pm that day. It was about 5:40pm already.
Hello there, the lady greets me in a very good mood (wow!), Hi, I want to renew my license, I said. "Let me take your application, it's going to be $24 dollars." As I'm writing the check to DMV for $24 dollars, I tell the friendly clerk, I didnt realize my license expired until now! "Wait a minute" -she said, "your license does not expire until next year in 2010!" What!?!?!?
?!?!?!?!?
I look at my driver's license, and it said it expires in 2010! I could've sworned I had read it expired in 2009. I spent nearly 2 hours at the DMV for no reason! arrrggghhh!!!!!
I shoud've had my Starbucks!!!

Spring Valley, CA - Local Real Estate Agent and Short Sale expert, Nelson Carrillo, successfully helped a family avoid foreclosure. As we see the number of people losing their homes growing, the demand of professional real estate experts in this area rises as well. Luckily for this couple, they came to the right agent. Mr. Nelson Carrillo was able to review their situation and showed the options.
It turned out the husband was injured on the job and was out of work on disability. He was then laid off and was unable to continue his mortgage payments. As they were getting ready to pack and let the house go into foreclosure, they decided to seek advice from local realtor Nelson Carrillo.
They were advised of the options. The right paperwork was put together by Mr. Nelson Carrillo's team, timely coordination with a local escrow company and title as well as aggressive negotiation with their lender Washington Mutual who held the 1st and 2nd mortgages. They were already upside down on their mortgage loans and almost a year behind on HOA dues.
After persistent negotiations with bank and full cooperation of the homeowners, Washington Mutual agreed to approve the short sale transaction at the agent's suggested price.
The buyers were so happy to have bought a home a lower price, the bank was happy to have sold the property and avoid possible higher fees, and Mr. Nelson Carrillo's clients were happy to have sold the property without owing anything to the bank. They now feel relieved that they did not go through Foreclosure and ruin their credit for 7 years. The husband got a new and better job and happy with the hopes of buying a home again in the near future.
If you or anyone you know is going through difficult times and is facing foreclosure contact Mr. Nelson Carrillo's Real Estate team. They can help.

Real estate ads are usually full of acronyms and terms that are unfamiliar to first-time buyers. Here's a cheat sheet to let you in on the lingo. Let me know if you have any questions!
4BR/2BA: four bedrooms and two bathrooms
assum fin: assumable financing
bedroom: usually a sleeping area with a window and a closet, but the definition varies in different places

closing costs: the entire package of miscellaneous expenses paid by the buyer and the seller when the real estate deal closes. These costs include the brokerage commission; mortgage-related fees; escrow or attorney's settlement charges; transfer taxes; recording fees; title insurance and so on. Closing costs are generally paid through escrow.
CMA: comparative market analysis or competitive market analysis. A CMA is a report that shows prices of homes that are comparable to a subject home and that were recently sold, are currently on the market or were on the market but did not sell within the listing period.
contingency: a provision of an agreement that keeps the agreement from being fully legally binding until a certain condition is met. One example is a buyer's contractual right to obtain a professional home inspection before purchasing the home.
