Citi Breaking new Ground when Purchasing their Foreclosures
Posted by: | CommentsCiti Mortgage and Their Foreclosure Department came up with a Winner as far as we are concerned. It has been this way since we became blessed in being able to Represent Citi in the Sales of their Foreclosure Assets. It has been a great relationship and I see that amongst the other banks – Citi is cutting edge when it comes to Neighborhood revitalization.
It all started with Local Asset Managers. Hiring AM’s that are local to the the Assets that we sell. Furthermore, Citi does not want the neighborhoods in which their foreclosures appear and are sold to be caused any addition plight by the typical ‘run down’ nature of a usual REO or Foreclosure.
As Citi Agents we are mandated to keep the neighborhood appearance and the Foreclosure in good condition so as not to detract from the neighborhood value with additional impact.
Nevou and cutting edge was the implementation of a program to protect the Buyers of Citi Foreclosures. It is detailed below and is a Buyers only for the asking. Citi springs for the Tab – But I wish I could say I am surprised – But after being with Citi for the past 18 months – I am not.
What is the Unemployment Protection Program?
The Unemployment Protection Program allows you to have confidence in the purchase of a home, at no extra cost. Should you lose your full-time, qualifying job, the Unemployment Protection Program will pay you $1,250 per month for up to 6 months. The protection begins 91 days after the closing, for 9 months and provides $1,250 per month. Other restrictions and limitations do apply.
How long am I covered?
The program will be in effect for up to 12 months after the date you close on your home purchase. You are protected for 9 months after the initial eligibility period. Covered payments under the plan will stop earlier if you become employed or self-employed.
When do I become eligible?
Eligibility for Payment Protection begins 91 days after you close on your home purchase, and provide proof of eligibility. If you lose your job within the eligibility period, you are not eligible to receive any payments for that job loss occurrence.
How long must I be employed to be eligible?
You must be gainfully employed on a full-time basis (at least thirty (30) hours per week) for at least 24 consecutive weeks immediately prior to your unemployment date.
If I lose my job after the first 90 days, do my payments begin immediately?
No, you must remain unemployed for thirty (30) consecutive days. If you lose your job involuntarily after the first 90 days and continue to be unemployed for thirty (30) consecutive days, you could become eligible to start receiving monthly payments, if you meet all other program qualifications.
If I become unemployed in the middle of the month, does the 30 day qualifying period start on the first day of the next month?
No. The qualifying period will commence on the day you lose your job. You would be eligible to receive your first monthly payment 30 days after the date you became unemployed.
What are the program benefit payouts?
Monthly payout amount: $1,250Maximum number of payments: up to 6 months Maximum total benefit: $7,500n If I lose my job, but I don’t have a loan payment obligation can I still collect $1,250 a month?Yes. If qualified, the benefits will be paid directly to you to cover any expense you choose.n In order to take advantage of this program, do I have to finance through a specific lender?No. You can finance the home through any financial institution, or even purchase the property with cash.
Can I renew this coverage or purchase it on my own?
No. This coverage cannot be renewed or purchased.
Do all jobs qualify for Unemployment Payment Protection?
No. Persons who are self-employed or own more than 10% of their employer or are temporary (including agency work), casual, seasonal, part-time, contract, irregular, within a period of training/apprenticeship or for a specific task are not eligible.

Overnight Home Listings in Santa Clarita
Posted by: | CommentsKeeping up with the current market activity for our buyers is key. To be able to move beyond the automated searches and to be the first to advise our Clients of something that conforms with their needs before they open the e-mail is the Rush of Real Estate.
The difference between when this happened on a regular basis was “market timing”. Currently we have a lack of inventory – or a multitude of Buyers.
Either way – it is not like the market of 2008, we had a bunch of Real Estate Listings on the Market in Santa Clarita and the Surrounding communities – plenty to keep the active buyers within escrows on the homes that they wanted to purchase.
13 properties came onto the market since my posting last night. But some of the listings look promising – However, most are Short Sales.
I will place them here for your approval:
Santa Clarita Homes and their Inventory
Posted by: | CommentsThis AM, my recon revealed that there was not much change to the inventory in the Santa Clarita Valley – but I have posted it none the same below this verbiage.
We have seen this market have some fantastic opportunities – but our buyers are still waiting for the inventory to start to catch up with their needs.
When I watch as the Buyers in the World are not able to secure the “American Dream” of home ownership – it is very frustrating for myself and our team – not to mention our Buyers.
But, things will not remain the same, then haven’t in the past and will move forward in the future. It is just getting to that future that is making the journey tedious.
Checking the inventory this AM – I see there are a few new listings that became available in the Santa Clarita Real Estate Market. 5 of Which are Foreclosures and REO properties. 9 are Short Sales and the other 11 are Regular Sales.
Enjoy this Feed and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Home prices increase for fourth month?
Posted by: | Comments |
| From Misc Desktop |
That old Economy 101 is showing off once again. When you have a lot of buyers out in the Real Estate community that are wanting to purchase real estate, then you couple that with very little, poor, or a majority of short sale inventory – you are going to watch as prices increase.
The other factor that has not been spoken about with this particular article is the pending Foreclosures and Bank Owned Real Estate. Also we have the ARM’s arming and the Negative Amortization loans maturing. Which is providing that the future will have Foreclosures come onto the market like gang busters.
There are very few “regular Real estate sales” in this current market. But to sell now is not the BEST option. However, there are a multitude of factors that can be responsible for your need to sell. Make sure you have your Agent obtain for you a Net Sheet that reflects the Negotiated commission and the other costs, you as a buyer, will be responsible for.
We do this for each one of our sellers and it will show you what you will be walking away with in your pocket after the home is sold. Good Stuff and Be Safe.
