A Brief Respite! In the Mortgage industry

A Brief Respite!

As I come to you each week with an update about the machinations that have become the credit markets within our grand nation…..and around the world…..I sometimes can’t help but be somewhat dismayed. Last week the tension in the mortgage industry was palpable. On Friday of last week we reached a crescendo. Lenders, loan officers, processors and underwriters were forced to make decisions about loans that would have made no sense just 90 days ago. The pendulum had swung all the way to the other side of unreasonable.

However, on Monday things started to change. The Fed’s move to lower the Discount Window Rate, the rate which banks borrower from the government for up to 30 days, was lowered by .5%. While this move in and of itself was seen by many economists as a gesture to the credit markets, it was not seen as a complete solution. What the naysayer failed to recognize was that the Fed did something else. This time they allowed banks to collateralize the loans with Mortgage Backed Security Pools. Essentially the Fed said they were so confident in our banking system that they would buy the pools until banks could sell them on the open market for a fair price. At the writing of this email, Bank of America, Citi, JP Morgan and Wachovia have all visited the Window of the Fed and have borrowed as much as $2 billion. Whew! Let’s all breathe a sigh of relief.

The markets have regained some confidence and that should give us all a few moments to breath. Some reasonableness should begin to reenter the underwriting vernacular and hopefully we will see loan approvals that don’t ask our clients to provide details about the length, in centimeters, of the big toe on their right foot! LOL!

Even with news today that Accredited Home Mortgage will close, that Lehman Brothers has closed BNC (their subprime division) and that Delta Funding will layoff 20% of its workforce, I can’t help but be optimistic. During tough times my father used to use an analogy of pushing a boulder up a mountain. When you get close to the peak you begin to tire and going that few extra yards seems impossible. However, if you can get to the pinnacle and push the boulder over the top, then you’ve won. I truly feel we’ve reached the pinnacle and with one more push we’ll see the boulder begin to roll down the other side. It will be slow at first, but it will gather steam and beginning in 2008 we will all be back on track.

For now, let’s all take a breath…..a short break if you will. Then next week we can all stand in unison and make one more big push. As always, Dividend America will be here for you. We are closing loans and we have the wide variety of lending channels and resources to make the lending process successful for your clients. I hope you’ll give me a call if you have any questions, concerns or opportunities. I will continue to bring you these weekly updates until you all scream STOP! Until then, I hope that the information I try to boil down to layman’s terms is helpful to you and your clients. Thanks for reading and stay positive! J

New Film Out 8/24 A must see!

This new film is a must see in my book, if you are in any way concerned about our future. The film is a real life look in to what we need to do and react to change in the global climate issues.

Mortgage Market Update from Michael Gross

Countrywide’s Slide:

Countrywide’s stock is down by 21% since last Wednesday. The company reported “unprecedented disruptions” in the mortgage backed securities market “could have an adverse impact” on its earnings and financial condition. Merrill Lynch’s Kenneth Bruce wrote: “If enough financial pressure is placed on Countrywide or if the market loses confidence in its ability to function properly, then the model can break, leading to an effective insolvency. If liquidations occur in the capital markets, then it is possible for Countrywide to go bankrupt.”

First Magnus, Last Place?:
First Magnus announced today that it will no longer fund mortgage loans. Is this the last of the nations top 20 lenders to fold, or will there be more to come?

Thornburg’s Demise:
In a piece of positive news, Thornburg mortgage announced that the report of their demise was unfounded. They are solvent and continue to fund loans.

My Thoughts:
As we traverse the rocky roads of this current market downturn I can’t help but be encouraged. The mortgage industry is experiencing its equivalent of the (dot)Com implosion of the 90’s. By all economic indicators, the overall economy is strong. Nation wide home values have dropped less than 1.5% with starter homes taking the largest hit. The actual pool of sub-prime loans as compared to all mortgages is approximately 15% and only 10% of those loans are expected to go into foreclosure. That number reflects less than 2/10ths of 1% of GDP. In my opinion, the markets are simply correcting and the mortgage industry is being washed out of all the failed and flawed business models. When the dust settles, the companies that remain will be those that have profit driven business models that balance consumer needs with investor needs…..profit. The American economy will be stronger in the end and we will all be better off.

I am optimistic about our future and I fully expect the market to stabilize in the next 90-180 days. When it does you will find that some of the most aggressive lenders in our market are no longer around and many of the know-nothing loan officers who were left over from the fast money days of the refinance boom have been washed out of the industry. Realtors, Homebuyers and Real Estate Investors can breathe a sigh of relief because the real professionals will be left and it will be easy to spot those who know the business from those who don’t.

My team and I look forward to being here for you now and into the future to meet all of your lending needs. Thanks and we’ll see you soon! J

Luxury Retail has a New home on "The Streets of Buckhead"

Luxury’s New Address Lies Along Atlanta’s “The Streets of Buckhead”
Groundbreaking, Welcoming of Signed Retailers and Restaurants Mark
Beginning of Buckhead Village’s Transformation into Mixed-Use
Streetscape
ATLANTA (August 3, 2007) – A new era for the former Buckhead Village begins
today, as commercial real estate development company Ben Carter Properties,
LLC breaks ground on its $1.2 billion The Streets of Buckhead project. With
plans to feature premier retail, office, residential, hotel and restaurant space, the
redevelopment represents a new vision for this historic area. The Grand
Opening of the first phase of The Streets of Buckhead is planned for fall 2009.
The Streets of Buckhead will fashion a charming, pedestrian-oriented
streetscape similar in nature to those found in other great American cities; among
these are Beverly Hills’ Rodeo Drive, Boston’s Newbury Street, and New York’s
Madison Avenue. Included in plans are more than 500,000 square feet of
boutique retail and restaurant space, much of which will be dedicated to
internationally popular, upscale retail brands; four hotels, two of them Five-Star,
including a 175-room full service hotel and a 100-room boutique hotel; up to
1,000 luxurious residential units; and Class A office space.
Illustrating the upscale nature of The Streets of Buckhead’s retail and restaurant
offerings, seven have already signed on for the project, of which six are opening
their first freestanding locations in Atlanta - and will be exclusive to The Streets of
Buckhead. They include:
• AG Adriano Goldschmied, a men’s and women’s boutique featuring
vintage-inspired designer denim and apparel, opening its second location
in the Southeast U.S. at The Streets of Buckhead.
• Bottega del Vino, a white tablecloth dining establishment featuring
northern Italian cuisine and an extensive international wine list.

The restaurant’s extraordinary atmosphere and authentic dishes can also
be enjoyed at its historic original location in Verona, Italy, as well as in
New York.
• Domenico Vacca, a destination for classic Italian styling, this retailer
features custom tailored suits, dress shirts and accessories for men and
women. Popular Domenico Vacca boutiques can also be found in New
York, Miami, Palm Beach and Beverly Hills.
• Hermes, the French luxury line popular around the world, boasts fine
leather goods and accessories, handbags and men’s and women’s
sportswear. The Streets of Buckhead location will take many design and
merchandising cues from Hermes’ Madison Avenue location.
• La Goulue, an intimate, quintessential Parisian-style bistro and sidewalk
café, will bring to Atlanta what New Yorkers have enjoyed since 1972 –
extraordinary food and wine in a casual yet elegant setting. La Goulue
recently opened a popular outpost in Miami.
• Etro, based in Milan, is a creatively fashion-forward product
line with style and sophistication. Etro has established boutiques in
New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Las Vegas, as well as throughout
Europe and Asia. Etro customers will find men's and women's apparel
collections, accessories, leather goods, perfumes, and eyewear.
• Bottega Veneta, one of the world's leading luxury boutiques,
will showcase leather goods, men's and women's ready to wear and
exclusive home items. As head designer for Bottega Veneta since 2001,
Tomas Maier creates pieces that possess modern yet traditional style.
Bottega Veneta is an international retail brand with U.S. locations in
New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, and other major cities.
“Buckhead represents the finest Atlanta has to offer – in shopping, dining,
residential neighborhoods and even corporate addresses,” said Ben Carter,
Founder and Chairman of Ben Carter Properties, LLC. “The Streets of Buckhead
will make the area even more of a premier destination by offering luxurious shops
and restaurants, world-class hotels, premier residences and Class A office, all
within walking distance in a dynamic streetscape setting.” Ben Carter Properties

Stage your home to Sell

Stage your home to Sell
The concept of "Staging a Home for Resell", has become more and more popular over the recent years. And one big misconception is that the process has to be pricey. When generally speaking any average person should be able to use simply these simply tips to assist in bring happy potential buyers and offers to the table. On an average rule of thumb the cost of staging a home for resell is generally less than the average first price reduction on a home on the market. Staging is really just ensuring the property makes a memerable first impression. And by memerable I mean an,"outstanding good rememerbable impression". First impressions are what drives everyones conception, and you have always heard you get one attempt to make a first and lasting impression. Simple weekend projects can increase your chances of getting a higher offer and closing a deal. A can of fresh paint brightens and freshens any dull space. Clean windows, allowing in lots of light and opening the home to nature adds to the charm. Clutter free carports/garages increase the areas size. To the left are a few tips for you to use when walking through your space and begining your home staging process.


Depersonalize the home...besure to remove family photos, awards, posters ect. the potential buyer is looking at the property other wise they tend to become more involved in paying attention to family items and collections. Vacation photos become a hugh distraction.
Clear High traffic areas...Crowded hallways, entry foryers, small rooms tend to become over-crowded with out realizing when you live in the space everyday. Take away a few pieces of large furnishes or clutter to give the space a more open feel.
Highlight key item features...pick the most outstanding feature in each room of your home. Then make sure that feature stands out in a good way. Remove clutter, plants, belongings, from around the area to add to the features. Example: a clean fireplace or wood feature...
Missing a Bed?Purchase an inflatable mattress and create a cheaper alterative by dressing it in full bed accessories...
Windows & Lighting...Clean windows and remove screens to allow for more natural light...
Modernize fixtures....Rememeber glass and brass are things of the past...Replace old fixtures such as lights and hardware with brush nickle, crome or stainless steel to add a new modern feel...
Your front door adds to thefirst impression - be sure it is clean, repainted if necessary.
Wash windows and window coverings.
If any staging or painting is needed (especially in the kitchen), do it now!Twenty dollars worth of paint will make a much larger difference in an offer.
Bathrooms help sell homes. Make this room stand out.
Lighting is like a welcome sign. Replace bulbs and turn on the lights.
Wash dishes, make beds, put away clothes and clean up.
Keep pets out of the way during showings.
Leave the showing to the Agent. The Agent knows the buyers requirements and can will emphasize the features of your home. If possible, leave the house during a showing.
Dont discuss anything about the home with a potential customer. Let your agent discuss price, terms, possession and other items concerning the sale. As your agent I would be qualified to bring negotiations to a favorable conclusion.
Never apologize for appearance, it either distracts or accentuates the problem.
Pack away valueables, store extra furniture, knick-knacks, guns and medicines.
Stand back and look at your home objectively. As though you are seeing it for the first time, through a buyers eyes. Call or email me for recommendations on how to stage your home for presentation to prospective buyers. That is part of my expertise. I will be happy to walk through your home with you and help you "set the stage" for results.
Remember, my goal is to help you sell your home for the most amount of mone and in the shortest period of time, with the least amount of inconvenience to you the seller
