Defaulting on Your Mortgage

Times are tough and if you are defaulting on your mortgage, chances are you have budgeted already and still cannot make your payments. There may have been loss of employment, and living costs are too high and you are forced to move. This has been happening everywhere and you are not alone. The most important thing to do is be in touch with your lender every step of the way. You should also feel comfortable enough to contact your Realtor to see if he can give you advice.
Since you have stumbled upon our blog, chances are you have been searching for answers. Here are some tips as to what you can do if you are having trouble making those payments:

1. Contact your lender and ask for loan modification paperwork.
2. If you are 12 months current on your mortgage, see if you can refinance your home. Remember, there will be fees so find out what they are and if it makes sense to do that. You could take out money while it goes through and you won’t have to make payments on your mortgage till the process is completed. If this sounds good, do it!
3. If you are in California, contact: “Keep Your Home California” and see if they can help you. Here is their website: http://keepyourhomecalifornia.org/index.htm
4. Contact your parents or in-laws to see whether you can move to their home for a certain time and rent out your home.
5. If you are in the Irvine area and need assistance, contact us.

Real Estate is a Business!

We recently received a letter regarding an agent that was no longer a Realtor and wanted to invest no money whatsoever and wanted to work as an agent. In theory, this sounds great of course, but the reality is that buying and selling Real Estate is a business. As Realtors, you have your own independent business. We are here to help with that. We have a plan for you every step of the way, and this blog is here to empower all Realtors. We are also here to help homeowners and home buyers with free advice.

Pure Real Estate's 3 Home Improvements Not to Do

Homeowners can add value to their home in a many ways. The right improvements can do wonders for the aesthetics of the home and can increase its value. The wrong home improvements however can be costly and may not add much to the value of the home enough to increase its price. Here are 3 tips on what not to do:
1. Crazy custom designs. There are movie stars that design their home to fit their tastes, but not everyone wants a crazy looking room. Refrain from over customizing.

2. There is no need for fancy gadgets such as a home movie theater, intercoms in every
room, that sort of thing. Chances are by the time you sell your home, we will have newer
technology and these things may become old and outdated.

3. Don’t spend money on a new roof. Home buyers don't make their home buying decision by looking at the roof, so unless it has a leak and needs to be fixed, don't worry about it.

If you would like more tips on what not to do, we will let you know when our blog on our website is up later. For real-time answers, please contact us at:
