Homeowners and Business owners can save money by using Soltec Solar Systems. They can avoid their month energy bill for the use of electricity. With the new solar systems, homeowners as well as businessowners can have this system installed in their homes or businesses, and instead of paying the electrical bill, they can use that money to pay for the system itself. An estimated time to pay off the Soltec solar system is of 6 to 7 years (if  financed), according to Rick from Soltec America. People can also pay for it all in cash. Either way, the system will belong to the person or businss and they will not have to pay the elecric company for the energy anymore.

Having a solar system can improve the value of the property and will save even more money at long term because the cost of electricity increases with inflation. When people own the solar system, they do not have to worry about the monthly expense or the increases that occur over time.

Need to be Motivated to Perform Better?

How To get Motivated to Perform Better?

By, Veronica Cabrera

June, 30 2012

Many times I feel exhausted, even though I have so much more to do. Or better said, most of the time, I create a busy schedule for myself because I want to be excellent at what I do. But, what if I just don't feel like doing it? What should I do? Should I just leave it for the next day or should I push myself to do what I do not feel like doing at the time? I have found a better way. I think of the positive things that will happen when I begin my list of things to do. Then I start by doing the easier and most urgent things, followed by the most time consuming, and difficult tasks. I think of all the benefits of finishing my list. I think of my clients and how happy they will be, once I find them a place to live. I think of my children being proud of me. Lastly, in case I still don't have the energy to keep going, I consider watching a motivational video. That really boosts me up and improves my attitude and mood.

What is a Broker Price Opinion (BPO)?

What is a Broker Price Opinion (BPO)?

By Veronica Cabrera

June, 28 2012

Lenders order BPO's (Broker Price Opinion)
to estimate the value of any property that is in process of a loan modification, short sale or foreclosure.
It is usually used instead of an appraisal.

BPO's are less expensive than an appraisal and are performed by real estate agents.
A BPO is not an Appraisal!

We realtors are hired to do these reports. Agents who decide to do them can have the proper training by signing up with the National Association of Broker Price Opinion, NABPOP. This training will help the agent provide professional, efficient and good quality reports. Lenders, asset managers, and BPO companies are very strict. 

They like to see these type of certifications.

If a person is in the process of doing a loan modification, short sale or his/her property is in foreclosure, expect the lender to order a BPO report. It is always nice for the agent to have a cooperative owner and listing agent when the BPO is required. Lenders give a very limited time to perform the report, so promptness is very important.

Most of the time, the BPO is under the lender's expenses. It is always beneficial for the listing agent to be present at the time of the inspection to provide necessary information such as, HOA's information or problems with the property.
This will help the BPO person do the necessary adjustments.

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!
