Understand The Living Trust

Importance of Understanding Living Trust

By Veronica Cabrera
June, 21 2012

Knowing how to hold title when a person buys a property is very important.
This could help you avoid future problems in case something unexpected happens.
It is one of the most important things for a buyer to know.  

There are different ways of holding title:
  1. Single Man or Woman
  2. A Married Man or Woman as His or Her Sole And Separate Property
  3. A Register Domestic Partner as His or Her Sole and Separate Property
  4. Community Property
  5. Community Property with Rights of Survivorship
  6. Joint Tenancy
  7. Tenancy in Community 
How do we know what is the difference and what is best?
It is not the job of a realtor or escrow officer to decide or advise the buyer
because we are not attorneys and can not give legal advise. 
   For me, as real estate representative of a buyer, it is crucial to make sure that my buyers are well informed. I like to recommend my clients to the professionals. I have my list of professional contacts who are willing to work with me and my clients to help them understand the difference in order to make the right decision.

Short Sales, Short Sales and More Short Sales

Short Sales, Challenging Transactions
By Veronica Cabrera
June, 19 2012

Short Sales, Short Sales, and more Short Sales ... a very meticulous process, according to lenders who attended the REO expo conference, we are going to see more and more short sales approved in the following months or years.

Lenders stated that they are trying to avoid foreclosure. They encourage short sales instead.
Some transactions are run smoothly and quickly but others are long and confusing.

I have one transaction right now, in which we have been waiting for 3 weeks for the bank to order the appraisal.
I asked for the file to be escalated.
On the other hand, I received a short sale approval from this bank who did not order an interior appraisal
(I guess, they ordered a drive by)
The Bank paid full commission, gave credit to the buyer and HAFA credit to the seller!
How about that?   I can do those transactions all day long!

Low Mortgage Interest Rates

Low Interest Rates For 2012

By Veronica Cabrera
June, 18 2012

Even though home prices are increasing, interest rates may still remain low for the rest of the year.


We have a shortage of inventory, but we should be able to find a suitable place to each of our buyers. I found out that standard sales, reos and flips are the best to negotiate. 
Today, I was able to open escrow in an equity sale for a nice lady who has been trying to find a property for the last 3 months. With a 30 day escrow, she should be able to finally take advantage of these historically low mortgage rates and low home prices.

Anaheim Chamber Of Commerce


Anaheim Chamber of Commerce

By Veronica Cabrera
June, 17 2012

I am a proud member of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. I have met very nice business owners from whom I learned and shared business practices and ideas. I would like to mention the following companies because you can always use their service.

Rick Babur, MBA-BSME, SOLTEC AMERICA is a solar panel installation company. Installing a solar system can be very beneficial for any homeowner to save money and help the environment.

I also met Kadie Karcher from Legal Shield. I actually signed up for this legal service because in this industry, real estate, we will always need an attorney to consult with. I highly recomend this service. It is economic and very important to have.

I met Fernando Izagurre form Jardines y Funeraria DEL ANGEL, Fernando is in Bellflower CA, but they have many locations all over the place. They sell funeral services and plans. I don't have to mention that we all will at a certain point be in need of their service for either personal or family matters.

Lastly, I would like to express my appreciation for the opportunity of meeting and working with other professionals through the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce.

Economy in USA

Economy Status in USA

by Veronica Cabrera
June, 14 2012

Mark Fleming, chief economist for Corelogic, states that the economy is still very uncertain. He presented foreclosure rates, unemployment levels and expectations of our future economy. 
Statistics showed that foreclosures have declined since last year. They are expecting the market to improve. 
Short sales are lately becoming more popular than foreclosures.
It is expected that lenders will support short sales more than any other strategy of home sales.
