"Jim the Realtor is legit - I interviewed three brokers; he said list price should be $100,000 higher than the other two brokers; listed it with him and had all cash (no financing) offer in two days, five day contingency period, closing in two weeks - and it closed at his recommended list price. I could not recommend anyone more than I recommend Jim the Realtor. more "

"When we moved to San Diego in 2005 we rented a big house on Mt. Soledad (La Jolla) with 180 degree ocean views for the same payment as a mortgage on a dump in Chula Vista. Clearly something was wrong. Yet, the media was full of the usual happy-talk nonsense, so I was glad to find Jim's blog. I've followed his honest assessments and data since. more "

"Where do we begin..2020 has been a year for everyone. When COVID hit and shut down both my husband and my businesses, we were left with a mortgage and very little income coming in. We were stressed, scared and felt stuck. We made the hard decision to sell our home and move out of state. We contacted the Klinges' and spent a good hour going over what we hoped we could accomplish. Jim and Donna came over with comps in hand and suggestions on improvements to get our house ready for the market. It was overwhelming to think about, but Donna was there and one step ahead in every scenario. more "

"I cannot believe there are no reviews of Donna yet, ugh!! She is the secret sauce of the Jim Klinge/Donna Klinge combo! I will touch on Jim here, but Donna is why I'm so totally loyal to these two (no offense to Jim :)).

"Jim and Donna Klinge are by far the most professional, personable and responsive realtors I have ever worked with. They provide VIP concierge level service in every area of the process of selling your home. My home was marketed so successfully that we received an offer the day after our first and only open house. Thanks to Jim's pricing and negotiating, our house is now the highest sold in our community... more "

Thanks, Jim!

It’s funny all this government garbage about how they were going to fix the housing market. And now after all the big players got their money back it all comes down to foreclosures.
49 freakin degrees? You TJ adjacent wimps. We had this out my window last week: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zqzPMzXNGso/Sx21BrKowsI/AAAAAAAAD2s/EbqidkLEIzI/s1600-h/CRW_4103.jpg
Anyway that last partygoer had it right. When BofA feels threatened then we’ll get a massive overreaction. Most likely they’ll get a FedGov sponsored good bank bad bank bailout where the bad bank goes into immediate liquidation.
Yes – Tacos El Gordo on H-Street in Chula Vista.
from NMN:
Private mortgage insurers have stepped up their rejections of claims on defaulted loans, compounding the pain that banks and other lenders have felt from the housing crisis.
In the second and third quarters, insurers denied 20% to 25% of claims, up from a historic rate of 7%, according to Moody’s Investors Service Inc. Though the insured party is usually Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, lenders that do business with the government-sponsored enterprises stand to lose when claims are rejected.
This is because, when insurers deny claims, they also rescind the policies. The mortgages in question typically have loan-to-value ratios above 80%, which means Fannie and Freddie cannot hold them without the insurance. So when insurers cancel policies, the GSEs in turn make lenders buy back the loans.
Amazing sight. I’m sure the pizza place loved the surge of business, too.
Good to see you having fun and stimulating the local economy JTR. Sounds like you were having a great time.
JtR, good info about insurer denials. Do you know what basis is used for most rejections? Is is suspected fraud, non-qualifing property or borrower, arbitrary BS, etc. ??? What a rip off if borrower paid PMI. Is AIG involved in mortgage insurance? If so, I’m not surprised about rejections and refusal to perform. Their reputation is trashed.
Gordo’s in CV rules–a whole lot safer than going to the original.
Looks like a fun party! Wish I could have been there. We actually had snow where I live near Walnut Creek Ca. I have been here 40 years and never say anything like it… global warming!
49 degrees? That’s rough. I guess I should feel better about Accuweather describing tomorrow’s Nor’easter impact as merely “very disruptive” rather than “paralyzing” for my area.
Irene, if it’s snowing, then how is that Global WARMING? Sounds like Global COOLING to me.
Are you another Koolaid drinker at the Al Gore scam of the century?
Todd,
If it is snowing we call that “WEATHER”. The multiple decade trends in global temperature we call “CLIMATE”. Global Warming refers to changes in climate, not weather, although there is the idea floating around that global warming, in the CLIMATE sense, results in more extreme events, both hot and cold in WEATHER. Sorry if your post was sarcastic, many people seem confused by this issue.
I’d try to tie this concept back to the housing market, but all the analogies I considered don’t really fit very well. What do you think, is there an analog to weather, day to day shifts in house prices, vs climate, multi-year trends in house prices, in the housing market?
Todd
How is Al Gore’s Global Warming a bigger scam than GW’s Weapons of Mass Destruction?
More dollars spent?
Honestly, the bare stupidity of people amazes me all too frequently.
49 degrees? My God! That’s almost tepid! 🙂
Todd… It was a JOKE!!! No.. I am not a koolaid drinker. Al Gore and I are not on the same page… Never have been.
“straight up and down” “that’s how it’s done” – JTR
Wish I could have joined the party, Jim! I’m sure everyone appreciated the get together.
Nice turn out – sorry I missed it!
