Real Estate and Property Management Leaders Form Strategic Alliance

September 1st 2010 by RE/MAX

Denver, CO - August 13, 2010 - (RealEstateRama) — For the first time, a major real estate franchisor and the country’s largest property management franchisor are joining forces to assist renters, distressed homeowners and investors.  The historic alliance is a two-way strategy that allows industry power houses, Real Property Management (RPM) and RE/MAX, to efficiently exchange property and client referrals.

As the housing market continues a gradual recovery, more investors are taking advantage of a growing inventory of distressed properties, while some cautious consumers are choosing to rent a home before they buy.   Through the new agreement, RPM will connect RE/MAX agents with investors ready to sell and, in turn, RE/MAX agents will recommend clients to RPM who are ready to rent.  RE/MAX agents may also refer properties to RPM for management.

“Record numbers of foreclosures, high unemployment and stricter lending practices have resulted in lower homeownership rates,” said RE/MAX Chairman and Co-Founder Dave Liniger during opening remarks Monday at the annual RE/MAX Broker Owner Conference in Denver this week.  “RE/MAX agents need to provide the best solution for each of their clients and, for many, home ownership may still be a few years away.”

Distressed properties account for nearly half of today’s U.S. home sales,   and investors represent a fifth of current buyers.  That means trained real estate professionals need to redirect their marketing efforts to address the needs of a changing homebuyer demographic.

“This cooperative agreement has significant benefits for consumers, investors, loan servicers, renters, RE/MAX agents and our franchisees,” said Kirk McGary, President of Real Property Management.  “RE/MAX and RPM are joining forces to offer the highest quality of service to consumers, while providing an effective solution to the increasing number of distressed properties on the market.”

Based in Layton, Utah, RPM doubled in size in 2010 to more than 200 offices that manage tens of thousands of properties for national loan servicers numerous banks, private lenders and individual investors.

RE/MAX and its internationally acclaimed RE/MAX University will create customized training and communications programs to ensure that participating professionals are equipped to provide their clients with the highest quality service.

“The technical capability to simultaneously connect with thousands of franchisees within both organizations is a tremendous advantage,” said Mike Ryan, Senior Vice President of Media and Training at RE/MAX.  “Also, real-time updates will provide transparency and offer an invaluable resource to lenders and servicers.”

To facilitate the implementation of the new alliance and deliver the most efficient service, RPM has created an interactive online portal where agents and property managers can make their referrals and track the progress of all transactions.

Credit scores sink to new lows

About 25.5% of Americans had credit scores below 600 in April, according to FICO Inc. Historically, only about 15% of consumers have had scores below that level.

By Shan Li, Los Angeles Times

July 12, 2010 | 3:44 p.m.

Battered by unemployment and tighter lending standards, the credit scores of millions of Americans are sinking to new lows. About 25.5% of consumers — or 43.4 million people — had credit scores below 600 in April, according to FICO Inc. Historically, only about 15% of consumers — or 25.5 million — have had scores below that level, FICO said.

Consumers with low credit scores will have increased difficulty obtaining credit cards and other loans, said Christian deRitis, director of credit analytics at Moody's Analytics.
A high national unemployment rate — 9.5% in June — has helped drive down scores, DeRitis said. "Delinquencies are on the rise. People out of work are not making payments on debts, and that negatively impacts their scores," he said.

Many people also have high credit balances when compared with the total amount of credit available to them, DeRitis said. This trend, when combined with an inability to acquire more credit, has served as a "double-edged sword" for the economy, he said
Those in the middle of the spectrum have also declined. Moderate credit scores, between 650 and 699, fell to 11.9% from a historical average of 15%.

The distribution of credit scores tends to shift during recessions, said Craig Watts, spokesman for FICO Inc. "Our experience has been that when a two-income family turns into a one-income family, people have to prioritize which bills to pay, and some bills aren't paid," Watts said.
As consumers have had difficulty getting more credit, the pace of the economic recovery has slowed."It's a bit of a vicious cycle," DeRitis said. "The threshold of good and bad credit has been raised as lenders rush to safety. That depresses spending, which negatively impacts the economy overall."

On a bright note, the percentage of consumers with high scores of 800 or above has risen. Those with pristine records are at 17.9%, well above the historical average of 13%, although slightly down from the 18.7% in April 2008.The economic downturn has made people more aware of how important it is to lower personal debt, DeRitis said. Those who are still employed and receiving regular paychecks have decreased spending and paid down loans, he said. This trend will ultimately have long-term benefits for the economy, but short-term recovery will be sluggish.

"In the long run, it's best to have consumers who are managing debts in a sustainable way," DeRitis said, "unlike the boom-and-bust cycle we've seen in the past." But as unemployment nationwide continues to hover near 10% and unemployment insurance benefits run out for those out of work, the immediate outlook is gloomy."Until the labor market turns around, people will remain unable to pay bills," DeRitis said. "Lowered consumption will only add extra friction to the economy." The calculation for FICO scores considers two factors: how consistently bills are paid and how much available credit is in use. Slow or delinquent payments and high amounts of debt result in lowered scores.

Fresh From Your Farmers' Market

Why you should support your local Farmers’ Markets:

1) Many of the farms use sustainable agricultural practices.

2) Money goes back in to your community.

3) The food is organic, thus pesticide free.

4) The produce is super fresh.

5) Less packaging is involved.

6) The distance the food travels is exponentially less than the distance food travels to super markets:

According to an article titled, "Eat Locally and Ease Climate Change" written by Lloyd Alter, on Planet Green: “A full tractor-trailer hauls about 32,000 pounds of produce. On average...this food travels about 1,750 miles from farm to market, in trucks that get about 5.5 miles per gallon. That's 320 gallons of fuel to transport 32,000 pounds, or about a gallon of fuel for every 100 pounds of food."

Side note: Do not be alarmed if you come across a stand or two (or even more) that do not have a “Certified Organic” sign hanging in their tent. It can be expensive getting certified so some farmers opt not to, but still practice organic and sustainable farming. You should, however, inquire if they use pesticides and such in their farming, just as a precaution.

L.A. May Push Sidewalk Repairs On Residents

LOS ANGELES (AP)

Tips for pre-lease cleaning

By Steven (via www.rentals.com)

One of the first things most prospective tenants notice is how clean the rental home is, so don’t leave that first impression to chance. A clean rental home implies good maintenance and reliability on the part of the landlord and the tenants who’ve come before, setting a precedent to respect the property. Here are some tips on how to be sure you send the right message to your perspective tenants.

Hire a professional

Using a professional cleaning service is often a necessity for landlords with more than one property, but in any case, having someone else do the work is often an invaluable time saver. Always check references and get referrals from other property owners so that you hire a reputable service. Whether your previous tenants did a super cleaning job before they left or not, make sure to ensure the following areas are clean before you show your rental home to prospective tenants.

Floors

Dirty carpet can be an immediate turn off to a tenant, so have carpets cleaned by a service or with a rentable unit from a home improvement store. If tiles in the floor are cracked or missing, replace them and repair obvious hard wood damage. All uncarpeted floors should be thoroughly cleaned and swept.

Walls and ceilings

Dingy paint is another depressing sight for potential renters, so if it’s been a while since the walls have had a fresh coat, now is the time. Also be sure to repair any nail holes or gashes left by previous tenants.

Address any water stains in the ceiling by making repairs if necessary and painting over. Also make sure all ceiling bulbs are working and that light fixtures are dusted.

Windows

Clean all windows inside and out and make sure that the locks and screens all work properly. If your property comes with window treatments, they should be clean and in good working order.

Vents

Check the vents in each room to make sure they are working properly. Also, all intake and room vents should be free of dust.

Appliances

Do a thorough scrub of all kitchen appliances, including the oven and range, refrigerator and dishwasher if there is one. Also wipe down the exteriors of the washer/dryer if they are present.

Cupboards and closets

Make sure that all storage space is free of the previous tenant’s belongings and is wiped down, swept or vacuumed.

Tub and shower

Nothing says neglect like a mildewed bathroom. Be sure that all grout is scrubbed and reapplied, if necessary. Get the bathtub and shower as clean as possible, install a new shower curtain and consider replacing or resurfacing if needed. Toilets and sinks should also be thoroughly cleaned.

Outside

Even if yard maintenance will be the responsibility of your new tenant, start them off with a mowed lawn, clean porches and a carport/garage free of any extraneous items left by you or earlier tenants.

Be sure that your prospective tenant’s first experience with your rental property is one that leads to them to say, “I’ll take it!” Having a clean rental home is a major part of curbside appeal and lets your tenants know that you care about your house and expect them to do the same.

Streets of gold: L.A.'s most desirable addresses

The Westside corridor from Beverly Hills to Malibu boasts one of the world's great concentrations of premier residential estates.

Call it A-List Los Angeles.

L.A. County has plenty of high-end neighborhoods, from Palos Verdes Estates to Pasadena. But when it comes to finding the best mansions in town, there's still nothing quite like the golden corridor from Beverly Hills to Malibu.

This Westside area boasts one of the world's great concentrations of premier residential estates. The highest-price home transaction ever in California took place in this territory: the 2000 sale of an 8-acre Bellagio Road estate in Bel-Air by Dole Food Co.'s billionaire owner, David Murdock, to financial executive Gary Winnick in a $95-million deal.

Bellagio is one of a dozen streets that are among the most sought-after addresses, say veteran real estate brokers. Here's a look at these streets and why they are so coveted.

* Mapleton Drive, Holmby Hills. Home to the Playboy Mansion, Mapleton gets rave reviews for the quality and size of its properties, some of which back up to the fairways of the Los Angeles Country Club.

Arthur Letts Jr., who owned Broadway and Bullock's department stores, was instrumental in developing Holmby Hills in the 1920s. Letts picked Mapleton to be the best street and the site of his own residence, according to Jeffrey Hyland, president of Beverly Hills-based brokerage Hilton & Hyland and author of "The Legendary Estates of Beverly Hills."

Today the Letts estate is the home and famed party site of Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner. The street has what Hyland called "a perceived value."

"A buyer feels more comfortable where everything around is already established and well in the double digits," he said -- double-digit millions, that is.

* North Carolwood Drive, Holmby Hills. Just around the corner from Mapleton, North Carolwood has been the address of a stream of stars including Tony Curtis and Sonny and Cher. Gregory Peck's longtime home was sold in 2004 for about $22 million. Michael Jackson rented on the drive at the time of his death.

At 2 to 4 acres, these are some of the biggest parcels on the Westside. Like other premiere streets, North Carolwood has a uniformity of prices, homes and lot sizes that well-heeled buyers like. "If you just bought your home for $20 million and you see other homes that look like your $20-million investment, you feel good" about your neighborhood, said Drew Mandile of Sotheby's International Realty, Beverly Hills.

* Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu: OK, so it's a highway, not a street. But this busy thoroughfare is the street address for a cluster of homes along Carbon Beach owned by the likes of DreamWorks co-founder David Geffen, restaurateur and Hard Rock Cafe chain owner Peter Morton and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison.

Called Billionaire's Beach, the line of oceanfront properties has protection from housing market changes because the owners never have to sell, said Stephen Shapiro, co-owner of Westside Estate Agency in Beverly Hills. "It's like a private club, but they don't have meetings."

* Malibu Colony Drive, Malibu. Gates, 24-hour security and views of the Pacific make the street desirable, said Joyce Rey, who heads the estates division of Coldwell Banker Previews International. "It's a pretty exclusive enclave," the Beverly Hills-based agent said.

But the lots and houses, once cottages used as weekend places, are smaller than properties along Carbon Beach, which has "big, magnificent homes," Hyland noted.

Of course, even the best streets have some drawbacks.

Pacific Coast Highway can become clogged with traffic; Mapleton -- with its Playboy Mansion -- is a regular stop on bus tours; and North Carolwood is a hot spot for sightseers.

The corners of Carolwood and Sunset and nearby Baroda Drive and Sunset have been staked out by three generations of the Hot Star Maps family since 1936.

Linda Welton, who has been selling the maps for 21 years, said she feels the Carolwood residents have come to accept and even appreciate her presence -- her mother and maternal grandfather having paved the way.

Michael Jackson's security people asked for one of her maps, then another, which they later returned with his autograph, she said.

These days Dr. Phil stops by to say hello.

"Once David Hasselhoff wanted to know how to get to David Beckham's house," she said.

Standing up straighter with a mock-stern expression, Welton recounted her response: "Are you expected?"
