Lowering your Property Taxes
For many home owners who have owned their homes for several years now, values have declined. In many ways this can be stressful. However, if you are happy in your home, if your home suits your needs, if it provides you the shelter you need and your family is happy there; your home is doing just fine. It is doing what it is supposed to do. It's giving you a place to live and raise a family. No need to sell, No need to worrie, No need to change anything. Or is there? The one thing you may want to change is the value of your home in the eyes of Uncle Sam. Convincing him that your home value has declined can make it so that your property taxes will decrease! In turn that may decrease your fire insurance. Hmm, that may be a good reason to look into it. Go to your county's assessors website to find out what you can do to get your property taxes lowered. http://maps.assessor.lacounty.gov/

There is still time to get your $8,000.00
Are you a first time home buyer? Thinking of buying? Tired of paying your landlord's mortgage for him. Take a look around... You are at a cross roads. Do nothing or making it happen. Buy your first home now!
I understand not everybody can afford to buy a home. I also understand that not everybody investigates what their options are. What I don't understand, is that there are people thinking of buying a home and not acting on the urge to have a place of their own. The market is great for buyers. Let me paint the picture.
Be under contract for buying a home by the end of April and receive a Tax credit of $8,000!
Home values are low, affordability is HIGH!
Interest rates are low, affordability is HIGH!
The 90-day-flip-rule does not apply anymore, inventory just soared for many buyers!
Realtors and Lenders are at the ready to help you right now!
Call, text or email me today and start the "HOMEwork" process, let me help you find the home that fits your needs and budget. I work with several lenders that can help you find out how much you can afford and more importantly; want to afford.

Are you in the process of trying to obtain a Loan Modification?
Dear home owner,
You may be facing a serious risk you may not be aware of.
If you are currently trying to obtain a loan modification, be aware that banks do not stop the foreclosure "clock" while deciding on your loan modification. If the loan modification is denied you may have as little as 21 days before your home is sold at auction.
Unfortunately in Los Angeles County, on average 96% of loan modifications fail. For this reason you should take action to protect yourself and have a backup plan. In most cases the best option is a SHORT SALE. A SHORT SALE stops the foreclosure "clock", allowing you to stay in your home longer and avoid any surprises from the bank. I can help!
My team consists of an attorney, paralegal, full time bank negotiators, and Realtors trained in distressed property transactions. There is absolutely no cost to you as our fees are paid by the banks.
The best way to begin is by sending a brief e-mail explaining your situation.
