Should We Be Afraid of iBuyers like Zillow?

November 25th, 2021

Should we be afraid of iBuyers like Zillow? Have you have heard the crazy news about Zillow Offers, which is owned and operated by Zillow. The popular real estate website, that makes near-instant cash offers on homes - a practice known as iBuying? Zillow basically buys the house online directly from the seller, slaps on paint, makes a few repairs, and then turns around and sells it. Many of us in real estate and mortgage lending was starting to worry this could create an unfair market advantage. Zillow could buy multiple homes in a particular area and then manipulate or[...]

Feral Chickens and Chickens in Fair Oaks

November 19th, 2021

Feral chickens and chickens in Fair Oaks; speaking of chickens, one of my mother's first jobs as a teenager, besides serving ice cream at Bridgemann's, was that of a chicken plucker at a chicken factory in Saint Paul. The chickens would come down the assembly line with their broken necks and feet still attached, while factory workers would grab them and furiously pull out their down and feathers—total yuck. I have no idea how it is done today, and I imagine the chicken factories are completely automated now if they are even still in business. My mother's chicken plucking days were[...]

Her close relative has her home listed, and this buyer continually expresses displeasure with the way things are going. The problem is we cannot interfere in the sale of[...]

People with kids tend to celebrate Halloween more than people without kids, I suspect. And even if you don't have kids of your own, you still have nieces and nephews and maybe even your next-door neighbor kids or kids at places where you volunteer to spend time with on Halloween. When we reach a certain age, most of us don't necessarily attend Halloween parties, but that doesn't mean we have to end up hungover and sleeping in the bathtub. There are other options for a party. This family in the photo above are clients who are looking to buy a home[...]

A 2-Minute Guide To Flood Insurance: Do You Need it?

October 28th, 2021

This is a timely blog by our lender Dan Tharp-- JaCi Wallace. When I heard a powerful "bomb cyclone" storm was hitting Northern California last week, I instantly thought about my Flood insurance. For many, they assume their property is covered for any type of detrimental occurrence that can take place. However, not all homeowners in Sacramento know that home insurance policies don’t necessarily cover damage related to a flood, as the risks are too great. As a result, homeowners must purchase flood insurance through a private company. Floods are one of the most common hazards in the US, costing billions[...]
