Be a "PIONEERING" Seller & Buyer and get the ball rolling TODAY!

Our market is truly in the hands of the buyers & sellers; however it is at the mercy of the lenders and their terms and conditions........ Buyers be sure to find out all terms and conditions before you enter contract with a seller (sellers risks taking their home off the market to allow you the contracted time to close escrow) with LTV's (loan to value's) at many times at 70 to 80% and lenders looking for huge 6 to 12 months worth of debt service reserves as a condition of closing not to mention of course your closing costs and the need for higher fico scores to close. You will be in an excellent position to buy and negotiate a home if you can prove your ability to close escrow & seller will feel better about entering contract as the risk factor may be lessened.

It is also very important to understand and truly appreciate your relationship with your REALTOR (R) in this trying market. Once you are in a position to be a "ready, willing & able buyer" get out there and make your fair market value offers. Be realistic and review all data out there (asking prices are not comp's - you need to look at sold homes in the MLS & tax records for those for sale by owners) you also need to look at the cancelled and expired listings to see what is not a current market price ; it is hard for many, they still think the market has a long way to fall. That may not be so.... There are many types of Sellers on the market; but some may just be testing the waters..... while others are serious about selling their home and may just still be feeling the homes are still valued at the markets of yesterday, just as some seasoned buyers may feel the homes should be valued at what they may have bought their last home for....... Somewhere in between is really where we are..........

Factoring in the cost of maintaining a vacant home or having to deal with making it a rental if we are not able to manage an investment property can be very trying on a property owner. Many times it is best to reduce the price of the home and get it sold.

The houses that seem to be moving are in top condition; however they are still a great value, so long gone are the days if it had a roof and 4 walls it flew off the shelf. There must be a happy medium - I have watched home owners try to sell and get showings but no offers... many were because the price was right on the money; however the condition was the reason the offers failed to come in. So many times the decision is made to take the home off the market and money is spent on paint, flooring, counter tops, appliances and fixtures.... Then the home goes back on the market but this time for substantially more......... And again the home fails to sell!

Again it is important to realize that finding the price is the most important thing; in the scenario above the solution may have better been painting, carpet and a good cleaning inside and out and may have been a better option, then placing it back on the market at the same price. Or another scenario might have been to simply reduce the price to accommodate the repairs needed and the home may very well have sold.

It's important that both, Seller & Buyer be "READY, WILLING AND ABLE TO PERFORM" but equally important for both to be REALISTIC as well, these are ruff times and the only way to kick start it is for those "pioneering" buyers and sellers to get the ball rolling.







Keep in mind "That no home will ever sell for more than what the current market will bear at any given time".

Just who do they answer to? Disclose, Disclose, Disclose

Did you know that Lenders & Title Companies answer to.......... State Banking & State Insurance?
It is up to the actual buyer and or sellers of real property to contact their local State Banking and State Insurance Departments to file complaints against Lenders and Title companies they feel have acted inappropriately during the process of purchasing a home or a refinance.Only you can change to face of the industry; do not accept predatory practices by anyone involved in the process of buying or selling your next home. If you feel you have not been treated appropriately please, I urge you, contact your local office of State Banking & Insurance .........Arizona Department of InsuranceConsumer Affairs Division2910 N. 44th Street, Suite 210Phoenix, AZ 85018http://www.id.state.az.us/Phone: 602-912-8446Fax: 602-954-7008Arizona Department of State BankingConsumer Affairs Division2910 North 44th Street, Suite 310Phoenix, Arizona 85018http://azbanking.gov/Phone: 602-255-4421Fax: 602-381-1225


Disclosure, Disclosure, Disclosure...............
Case in Point: Two Inspections.......... Two different out comes..... Should the Seller & the Sellers Listing Agent Disclose the presence of both inspections? ABSOLUTELY...........If a Buyer had the opportunity to speak with the first inspector, or hear his report of the inspection, it may well have influenced the Buyer's decision to buy the home. For those reasons, the Courts held that a reasonable person, in determining whether to purchase the home, may well have attached importance to the more extensive description of the damage and the much higher repair estimate contained in the report and, therefore, the agent & Seller was required to disclose the information.ARIZONA: A real Estate Agent MUST disclose all adverse material facts that they know. If two inspections are conducted, and they contradict or are inconsistent and an agent is aware of both of them, an agent should disclose both reports or risk being held liable for failing to disclose.Real Estate Blogs - Blog Top Sites
