Beating the War Drums? — One R.E. “Expert’s” Opinion

August 29, 2018 by Mike Kelly

In a recent article, one real estate broker calling herself an ‘expert’ on the standard of care – sets forth a series of steps she says a buyer’s representative should “always” follow when it comes to disclosures, and consultation with a client. Do you agree that this higher standard should apply? Have you met it?… CONTINUE

Welcome back – DRE

August 29, 2018 by Mike Kelly

In case you missed it, let’s not forget to welcome back the “old” DRE. You may remember that Gov Brown, in a ‘cost saving’ effort, moved the DRE to the Department of Consumer Affairs a few years ago.  Well, that didn’t work so well.  Millions more ended up being spent.

What’s Buried in Your file?

August 29, 2018 by Mike Kelly

I’ve been harping on this one for a while, and here’s an example of the ‘relationship’ between Banks and REO properties, and the brokers that serve them.

August 29, 2018 by Mike Kelly

They also grow and block views.   And of there is one thing that will get somebody’s knickers in a knot, it’s the neighbor’s dang tree that they refuse to trim or top that… CONTINUE

Drive By Doofus

August 29, 2018 by Mike Kelly

You’ve heard of a “drive by appraisal,” right? One where the appraiser is a little busy that day, drives by the outside of the property, then checks on Zillow for some ideas about what the inside might look like. Especially in condos, or condo-conversions. They all look alike after a while – right? And appraisers… CONTINUE
