BREAKING NEWS: Mortgage Rates Plummet To New Lows



What a great addition to the last article I just sent!  Buyer’s should buy now while prices (though inching up) are still bouncing along the bottom and they can buy at ultra low rates – locking in their payment for 30 years to come!
Please forward this along to buyers who are on the fence or missing properties because they’re still trying to lowball them. Better to offer a little more, put us to work to provide the appraiser with accurate market information, and take advantage of these low rates. 
Not enough inventory you say, then let’s go create it!  Let’s get to work for our buyers and get one party listings!  There were also 14 expired residential properties in the Fresno MLS yesterday alone.  How many of us called on Expired listings yesterday?  I know our very own Jim Phillips did – great job Jim!
Now’s a great time to buy – let’s take advantage of the opportunities!

Good luck!

Good morning!

Attached is a “News Flash” from the DRE regarding fraud in non-English speaking sectors.  Obviously, however, as a whole, fraud and scams do not discriminate – they reach every population.

1. This is important information to know and to pass on to clients and the public.

2. On the third page is a link to what the DRE says,

“Make certain that you get and closely read the Spanish-language version of the follow consumer alert published by the California Department of Real Estate”
