A Better Realty.Net BlogReal estate blogging from the inside!

Today’s networking meeting was informative; we talked about the 100,000 homes that have been foreclosed on, However they are not on the market.  So, we chatted on why are the banks are holding them. This is what we came up with.

1. They are so unorganized that they do not know what to do with them

2. They are waiting for the market to recover some for better price point

3. Maybe they have been told to hold them until a certain time, then release them slowly

4. Maybe they do not even know they have all these homes on their books.  

(1-4 is not factual… just what we thought of)

You may not be aware that when the bank has these properties on their books it keeps them from lending, for every dollar they have on their books, they must have a reserve of seven dollars.

Initiating a New short sale with Bank of America on the Equator system.  We all have done it many times. Has anyone gotten the RED screen that tells you to call Customer Care? 

I did today,  well my sellers have a loan that you cannot process in Equator, they will not tell me what type it is because the third party authorization letter cannot be uploaded.  It must be faxed, and then they have up to 5 business days to process and get it in the system.  Great… she says just fax all the paperwork you have.  NOT.. it will just be lost, I am going to get this authorization in… then lets talk to someone and then I will be faxing… yes, faxing …. the pages and pages of documents.

Please let me know if anyone else has had this much fun.

We were caught in the power outage that happened in Mesa. I did loose some data, and web stuff.  Some of it went a wee bit crazy..  Just trying to get it all straightened around today

. It has been a slow morning with the 4th of July weekend here. 

You forget how much you depend on certain things, electricity and cooling… The phones went down, and of course the fax machine.  That was the day Qwest had picked for my DSL upgrade, oh yes that went well NOT!  That is another story and not a pleasent one.  I am glad that day is in the past, now just to fix a few things. 

Have a great weekend!

This does make one think maybe we should be solar!

Today is a very sad day we are saying good-bye to one of our old boys. Jesse James, his team mate Frank James is still with us.  Jesse had a stroke in the early morning; he has been made comfortable while the vet comes. Jesse has pulled many kids through box canyon on haunted hayrides, cookouts, parades and the Wal-mart safety parade (pictured below). He will be greatly missed; he was loved and happy to the end.

Today he takes his one last ride!  Everyone will remember all the memories he created and all the stories that were told on those rides by the James brothers.

Happy Trails Jesse!

Today after class we thought that we would go to Red Robin… Bill, Austin, and I off we went to the local Red Robin.. What a time we had. First they sat us by the kitchen, so we could see and hear everything that went on in the Kitchen… that was okay, until one of the waitresses started cleaning the warming lights… oh yes there was food under them.. GROSS…. thank goodness we had our food… I would have left. The manager walked right by her doing that. Later Bill asked the manager if she saw that? She responded no….. if I would have been thinking, I should have used the video on my phone… I do not think I want lunch at Red Robin again.
