Realtor Ethics in Sacramento Real Estate

June 2nd, 2021

Realtor ethics in Sacramento real estate, either you have them, or you don't. A fiduciary relationship requires honest and fair dealings between a Realtor and clients. In fact, an agency relationship is, in essence, not putting your needs in front of another. It is why you can't double end your own home if you are acting as the Realtor/Seller. How can you put a buyer's needs above your own when it's your home? Make this blunder, and your E&O may not cover it, should your escrow go awry. That being said, our code of ethics requires us to treat everyone,[...]

Don't Be That Desperate Homebuyer!

April 29th, 2021

Don't Be That Desperate Homebuyer Don't be that desperate homeowner! This is a fabulous blog from our premiere mortgage partner, Dan Tharp. Enjoy, ---JaCi. When the governor announced the shelter-in-place order in March of 2020, my business came to a screeching halt. My buyers that were in contract feared the worst; that values would plummet, they could lose their jobs or, worse, get sick. Maybe they shouldn't move forward with the biggest purchase of their life. My agent partners were scared too - Not just about this imposing pandemic, but also their livelihoods - these were dark days as consumer sentiment[...]

What Is The Average Down to Purchase A Home?

April 14th, 2021

What is the average down to purchase a home? This is a wonderful and informative blog written by our preferred loan partner, Dan Tharp. Enjoy! --JaCi Wallace. According to a Nerd Wallet 2019 Home Buyer Report, 62% of Americans think you need at least a 20% down payment to buy a home. Well, I am glad to report this is not true. This myth may stem from something you have read about called private mortgage insurance. PMI is a type of insurance put in place if you put less than 20% down and default on your loan. PMI is arranged by the lender and protects the[...]

March 2021 Sacramento Area Housing Market Update

April 7th, 2021

March 2021 Sacramento area housing market update is another interesting blog, written by Josh Amolsch; these are his views and agree or disagree the data always tells a story. Remember, these are merely opinions as none of us have a crystal ball on the real estate market; at best we are guessing about the future. Sacramento is a much different market compared to many other cities in the US, due to the proximity of migration here from the bay area and how Covid-19 fundamentally changed the workplace to home offices from brick and mortar. The record-low interest rates and how[...]

In Escrow And The Seller Doesn't Respond

March 24th, 2021

In escrow and the seller doesn't respond, yes folks, as strange as it sounds, it happens. We sent in documents over a week ago and called every day, and no response from the seller. The buyer doesn't understand why the seller is not communicating. The seller's agent said he had tried everything, calls, text, email, and no response from his client. The buyer has an option to cancel, but she already cashed in her investment funds and paid thousands of dollars on inspections and an appraisal. I don't think this will end well. The buyer really wants this property, so my[...]
