Happy Thanksgiving!!

Greetings,

I would like to wish you and your loved ones a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving means showing gratitude for the things that we value the most. They are not the things that we can buy, but they are the things that we cannot put a price on. Family, friends, and our health are the most important things. During this season I wish you have all these.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Think of me for any of your real estate needs

Ways to Determine Home Values

Standard Ways to Determine Home Values

A comparative market analysis and an appraisal are the two most common and reliable ways to determine a home's value.

Your real estate agent can provide a comparative market analysis, an informal estimate of value based on the recent selling price of similar neighborhood properties. Reviewing comparable homes that have sold within the past year along with the listing, or asking price on current homes for sale should prevent you from overpricing your home or underestimating its value.

A certified appraiser can provide an appraisal of a home. After visiting the home to check such things as the number of rooms, improvements, size and square footage, construction quality, and the condition of the neighborhood, the appraiser then reviews recent comparable sales to determine the estimated value of the home.

You also can check recent sales in public records, through private firms, and on the Internet to help you determine a home’s potential worth.

Advice for "For Sale By Owner"

For Sale By Owner, Advice

 

by Veronica Cabrera, Realtor

October 14, 2012

 

            This blog is for the "For Sale By Owners".

     
     In the first place, I would like to congratulate you for the important decision you have made on selling your  property; I hope everything goes nice and smoothly. I would like to provide you with some important information about the process of a real estate transaction. Some points to consider when selling a property are:

·       After finding the right buyer and negotiating the best deal, have the buyers be pre-approved by a trusted lender to make sure he or she will close successfully.

·       Once you have chosen the escrow and title company, have the buyer deliver the good faith deposit.

·       Make sure to follow all seller’s guidelines and requirements providing disclosures on timely manners.

·       Disclose everything you know about the property and the area where the property is located.

·       Have all agreements in writing.

·       Provide all California Real Estate Disclosures to the potential buyers.

·       Buy a Natural Hazard Disclosure Report for the Buyer .

·       Keep a copy of the buyer’s signed acceptance of all reports, disclosures and agreements.

·       Make sure the buyer orders a professional property inspection to avoid future legal disputes.

·       Buyer will appreciate it if you pay for a one year home warranty.

·       Appraiser may request some minimum repairs, smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors.

·       Once escrow is opened, money deposited, disclosures are delivered to the buyers, and inspections are done, have the buyer remove any contingencies, so he or she will not walk away a month later for any reason other than the loan approval.

·       Title and escrow company will make sure that the property is free and clear of any liens.


     A California Real Estate Purchase Contract can guide you on the minimum requirements of the sale.. A
real estate transaction is meticulous, sensitive and detailed. Make sure to consult a legal advisor, and a
tax consultant for any concerns.

              
             I hope this information is valuable to you. If you need help with any of the above mentioned procedures
       please don’t hesitate to call me.

New Approved Home Buyer

New Approved Home Buyers

 

by Veronica Cabrera

October  6th 2012

 

I received a call from some potential buyers a few days ago.
They finally decided to take advantage of the real estate market and purchase their first house.
I explained the process by telephone and met with them the next day in my real estate office
 where I collected all of the necessary documentation for the lender.
They were concerned about being able to qualify, but to their surprise, they do qualify!
They have excellent credit and enough funds for a down payment.

I am proudly announcing that we will soon have new members added to the home ownership family of Anaheim, CA.

I am looking forward to helping them and guiding them through the purchasing process,
as well as finally give them the keys to their future home ! 

 

Congratulations to the Marquez Family!

Short Sale Approval Letters

Short Sale Approval Letters

by Veronica Cabrera

October 1, 2012

The wait is long and the process meticulous. Realtors have to work for months to be able to obtain a short sale approval. In many cases, after a few months of procesing and consideration of the purchase price offer, the lender counters with a larger amount.

In other cases, the buyer may decide not to buy the property anymore. In the worst case scenario, the lender can decide to foreclose on the property instead of approving the short sale.

Today, I have a good story to share. My client had two lenders and both of them have approved the sale. We are schedule to close escrow by the middle of October, 2012.

In this particular case, I am representing the seller and the buyer so I am very happy to be able to help make both of their real estate intentions possible.

Moreno Valley Houses For Sale

New Sale in Moreno Valley, CA

by Veronica Cabrera

October 2, 2012

My client found me while I was doing an open house.
It did not take long for her to be convinced that I should be the one who would represent her

 with one of the most important decisions of her life, the purchase of her first house.

She wanted to purchase in Moreno Valley, CA. 

Since she is an independent contractor and can do business anywhere she goes.

 

During our first appointment to preview property, we found the property she liked.

She instructed me to submit an offer and negotiate on her behalf.

 

I was so lucky to have the listing agent work with me and accept my client's offer.

Just last week, after a long wait, the listing agent replied to my short sale status inquiry 

with the great news that the offer was approved by both lenders who held liens against the property.

 

When I called my client with the great news, she got so exited!

She can't wait to begin the escrow process. She will soon have the house she has been waiting for!

 

I appreciate the clients who make my life exciting and successful!

New Homeowners in Anaheim

Another Closed Sale in Anaheim

 

by Veronica Cabrera

September 29, 2012

 

 

 

         

I was able to make one more family's dream come true. On September 29, 2012, the city of Anaheim adopted a new family to its home ownership group. The Lopez family has successfully concluded the purchase of a 3 bedroom, 2 bath townhouse in Anaheim.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to my preferred lender who helped me close one more transaction on time.

One of the most difficult parts of a real estate transaction has been to be able to close escrow on time. Every seller is hoping to close their transaction within the terms of the contract because they have to arrange many other things concurrently,
so it is crucial to have a good lender who can do so.

I appreciate the trust that this family had in me when they hired me
to represent them with one of the most important decisions of their life.

Congratulations,  Lopez family!

Low Mortgage Rates May Continue Through 2015

Low Mortgage Rates May Continue Through 2015

by Veronica Cabrera

September 28, 2012



 

           On Friday, September 14th 2012, The Niche Report magazine reported that the efforts by the Federal Reserve to stimulate the economy will continue until at least 2015.  According to it, The Fed is continuing to stimulate the employment and housing markets, and does not plan to raise interest rates for another three years. This means that the low Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) Currently offered by Mortgage Lenders are set to continue.

            They stated "that the Record low APRs have real estate investors taking advantage of the market. With the low financing rates, the financing of home purchases has increased and has brought relief to more than one million homeowners who were previously in negative equity situations."

    
            What a great opportunity for those investors as well as for those first time home buyers. Not to mention, those homeowners, who are facing foreclosure are able to sell the property and as a result they find a solution to their housing economic situation.
 

 There are excellent programs for first time homebuyers:

FHA - 3.5% down payment

VA  -  0% down payment

Conventional - 3% down payment

No PMI loan Programs

*based on a 620  Fico Score

Ride in Bus in Beijing China!

Did you know that in China people are only allowed to have only one child !?!

 If they have more than one, they would have to pay a fine of $50,000.

They are allowed to buy only one car as long as they are residents of Beijing. If they are not residents, they just can not buy any cars.

Did you know that the price of housing is so expensive, like $15,000 per square meter?

A 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo can cost $800,000 ( in the lower end range)

Open House with Great Attitude!

Good Attitude, Great Experiences!

By, Veronica Cabrera

July, 23 2012

Today, I had a plan for the day! Last night, before I went to bed, I decided to plan my day’s activity list. I knew that my day was going to be great because I just decided so. So I got up at 6:00 am, went to the gym for an hour as I had planned it last night. Then, I got all pretty and ready to go to do an open house. Seriously! I looked good; I felt good! It was an Awesome DAY!

While I put up my Open House Signs, I planned to distribute flyers for the open house in all the stores and shopping centers which were on my way.

You should have seen what a good response I received from almost every person I met! They liked me! I was so happy to tell them about my open house, they actually got excited for me.

It makes me feel the same way I did when I was a new agent who had never done any open houses?

FYI, I have been in the Real Estate business for 7 years.

I work almost 7 days a week and I do a lot of Open Houses.

The point is that today was different because I met a lot of wonderful people who wished me good luck and expressed a positive reception towards me!

I like people too.
