Hi TJ_98370, Thank you. I'm definitely far from perfect. I've been in some interesting ethical dilemmas during my career and life. I like that topic and focused on moral psychology and philosophy during grad school. The Realtor ethics class is o…

Hi Ira, I was pretty sure that you were joking, but I wasn't; their code is actually pretty good. They need to do a better job nationwide of enforcing their ethical principles because without enforcement, the code is meaningless.
-
Thanks RCC and tomtom. Ira, the Realtor Code of Ethics is over 100 years old and from the standpoint of applied professional ethics, it's actually a pretty decent code. Compare that to the code from the National Assoc of Mortgage Brokers which is …

Thanks for the shout out, LHR. I will continue to share tales from the front line with SB as needed. Last week we had 80 Realtors in the Short Sale class. Typically Realtors never turn out for classes until after the MLK Jr holiday weekend. Lots…

Hi LHR, I think it would be more interesting to see how they handle it....and if they decide to form a group blog elsewhere. The only people who post on a regular basis are just a small handful of the total number of bloggers over there.

The end of the PI would mean the end of the Sea R.E. Professionals blog. I heart TBTL. Maybe Aubrey would want to blog at SB.

Thank you, Alan! Will use tomorrow in my classroom and give you credit!

"But let's get real. A lot of what gets posted here [on SREP] is garbage - the vast majority from people who post anonymously and simply do not know what they're talking about." Sigh. Why do I even try. I've learned a ton from The Tim, synthetik,…

Bookmarking them...now off to read. Thanks biliruben.

Alan, King County, yes?

"I think there is another dynamic at work here. These Realtors or "professionals" or "experts" are really really scared." I can confirm this based on my daily interactions. The fear is there. It's in the background, permeating into conversations…

sniglet, click through from jon's link. No wonder CitiGroup finally showed their hand to the government and asked for a bailout. A class action lawsuit like this could set a pathway for future lawsuits.

Most excellent. I come to the web at 11:17PM looking for Sept stats and here they are. Thanks again, Alan. That YOY is nasty. Lower home values headed our way soon.

CR says the voting is going on right now. Here's the CSpan link: http://www.c-span.org/Watch/C-SPAN2_wm.aspx

I've been out all day; just getting home. Is this true? I can't believe it! MAYBE THE BILL WILL FAIL THE SENATE!!! What time does the voting begin? Thanks guys.

Would be interesting to know if these are REOs or pre-foreclosures. Either way, more listings like this are going to bring down the sales prices.

Paul Krugman says "No Deal." "I hate to say this, but looking at the plan as leaked, I have to say no deal. Not unless Treasury explains, very clearly, why this is supposed to work, other than through having taxpayers pay premium prices for lousy…

"The bigger problems will be the fall-out that occurs when many financial institutions that own GSE stock have to take an even bigger bath than they already have" We don't know the full damage/fallout from this yet. We're in unchartered territ…

60 days. Are you using NTS'? An investor in one of my classes this past month (Aug) said (and the class was held mid-month) that NTS' were up double in Aug from Sept and that was only halfway through the month. He thought for sure that Augu…

"Why is it that you think some lenders are unwilling ro do large principal write-downs?" I'd guess it has to do with the banks and their balance sheet and it also has to do with the investors. If a pool of investors each owns a piece of that mort…

Alan, are we down month over month from July?
-
Hi Sniglet, I believe they do exist. Reason why is that it use to be (ha, ha) very difficult to get a pay option/interest only/negative am ARM loan. A homeowner was required to have a very high "prime" credit score. I'm guessing these would be …

I'm not so sure all loans will go FHA. Even though FHA's downpayment requirement is 3%, soon to be 3.5% (and all of this can be in the form of a gift) FHA's underwriting guidelines are strict. Cream puff conforming will be sent to the GSEs, ev…

Top two reasons why people default on their mortgage: divorce and failure of a business. Divorce....up......foreclosures......up? It would be interesting to see if we could compare statistics from other recession points. No-fault divorce…

Hi deejayoh, That's something I don't understand: Why subject oneself to national TV exposure? masochistic tendencies? Was she thinking that the exposure would help her real estate career?

"I have a great loan. 5% Fixed for 10 years interest only...why should I give up this great mortgage?" She's saying she wanted to stay in the home for two years to finish up in that school district for her daughter. Intersting. Child support …

Hey Alan, thanks. I figured as much. The judicial foreclosures, I would imagine, are a small number compared to the NTS. If we're counting/comparing NTS numbers, then yes, these are only estimates as not all NTS' go all the way to auction. It…
