Strong, Independent Appraisal Industry Vital to Market and Loan Origination Process

Your Guy for That Friday, June 29th, 2012 No Comments

WASHINGTON  – Developing and reporting property values more accurately is critical to improving market performance, reducing risk and strengthening the housing finance system, according to the National Association of Realtors®.

That was the message delivered today by Frank Gregoire, immediate past chair of NAR’s Real Property Valuation Committee, in testimony before the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Insurance, Housing and Community Involvement regarding appraisal oversight.

“As the leading advocate for housing issues, Realtors® know that an accurate appraisal is an important part of the home buying process and that a strong and independent appraisal industry is critical to restoring faith in the mortgage origination process,” said Gregoire, a state-certified… Continue Reading Strong, Independent Appraisal Industry Vital to Market and Loan Origination Process

Home is where History Is

Your Guy for That Thursday, June 28th, 2012 No Comments

WASHINGTON (June 27, 2012) – As Americans prepare to celebrate Independence Day next week, thousands of them will flock to places like Mount Vernon, Monticello and Peacefield to learn and understand more about our country’s history and the men and

women who shaped its future. The homes of founding fathers like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were more than shelter; they were places of respite, reflection and inspiration.

“Homeownership is an investment in our future, but it’s also a gateway to our past,” said NAR President Moe Veissi, broker-owner of Veissi & Associates Inc., in Miami. “The homes of our country’s founders offer insights into their characters and values, and reflect the spirits of their owners, just as our homes do for us today.”

Home prices rise for the first time in 7 months

Your Guy for That Wednesday, June 27th, 2012 No Comments

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Home prices rose in April for the first time in seven months, though they are still near record lows, according to a report out Tuesday. Average home prices increased 1.3% in April in 20 major markets, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller home price index. This comes after prices hit new post-bubble lows in March. As of April, average home prices nationwide are back to where they were in early 2003. Prices are down 34% from their summer 2006 peak.

On an annual basis, prices are down 1.9%, though that’s an improvement over March’s decline. “It has been a long time since we enjoyed such broad-based gains,” said David Blitzer, index committee chairman at S&P Indices. But, he added, “one month does not make a trend, particularly during seasonally strong buying mo… Continue Reading Home prices rise for the first time in 7 months

10 reasons why you might want to consider hiring an real estate agent

Your Guy for That Tuesday, June 26th, 2012 No Comments

Here are 10 reasons why you might want to consider hiring a professional real estate agent.
1. Education & Experience
You don’t need to know everything about buying and selling real estate if you hire a real estate professional who does. Henry Ford once said that when you hire people who are smarter than you are, it proves you are smarter than they are. The trick is to find the right person. For the most part, they all cost about the same. Why not hire a person with more education and experience than you? We’re all looking for more precious time in our lives, and hiring pros gives us that time.
2. Agents are Buffers
Agents take the spam out of your property showings and visits. If you’re a buyer of new homes, your agent will whip out her sword and keep the builder’s agents at bay… Continue Reading 10 reasons why you might want to consider hiring an real estate agent

Existing-Home Sales Constrained by Tight Supply in May, Prices Continue to Gain

Your Guy for That Monday, June 25th, 2012 No Comments

WASHINGTON – Limited supplies of housing inventory held back existing-home sales in May, but sales maintained a strong lead over year-ago levels and home prices are on a sustained uptrend in all regions, according to the National Association of Realtors®.

Total existing-home sales, which are completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, declined 1.5 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.55 million in May from 4.62 million in April, but are 9.6 percent above the 4.15 million-unit pace in May 2011.

Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said inventory shortages in certain areas have been building all year. “The slight pullback in monthly home sales is more likely due to supply constraints rather than softening demand. The normal… Continue Reading Existing-Home Sales Constrained by Tight Supply in May, Prices Continue to Gain

Estates- Executors and Administrators

Your Guy for That Thursday, June 21st, 2012 No Comments

In General. Upon a person’s death, unless his or her interest in real property has been automatically transferred by “rights of survivorship” – which only occurs if the party held his or her interest as a “joint tenant” with one or more parties, it is necessary to obtain authority for conveyance of the real property by the deceased party’s administrator or executor. The authority of the administrator or executor must be obtained from the Probate court of the county in which the deceased party resided in a legal proceeding.

 

What’s an Administrator?  When someone dies without a will, it is necessary for those claiming an interest in the decedent’s property to get permission from Probate Court for disposal of the assets of the estate. The court appoints an … Continue Reading Estates- Executors and Administrators
