Don’t procrastinate with appraisals
“
Laura Olive FOR REAL ESTATE WEEKLY
appraisal is “assigned” to the appraiser that is willing to do the appraisal for the fee offered within the time frame required. The current appraisal guidelines are more stringent now than they were five years ago. They use recent comparable sales in the neighborhood. They must be able to “bracket” your home with comps both higher and lower in the neighborhood. They rate the condition of your home and the comps as well. They must confirm the sales with the Realtors involved and this is how they arrive at the condition. If there are any obvious issues with health, safety, and/or structural integrity they must note that.
As examples, the condition of the roof and foundation can become an issue, as can broken windows, peeling paint, or open electric wires. Clearly it is best if those types of repairs are done prior to the appraisal. Keep in mind that any repairs indicated on your inspection resolution must be done prior to closing. The inspection resolution is part of the contract and must be turned into the lender. Once they are aware of these items they will insist that they be done. In ideal circumstances the inspection items should be done before the appraiser looks at the house. The lender must have evidence of the completion of the inspection items! If the items are of a cosmetic nature the buyers can write a letter to certify that the work is done to their satisfaction. If there were required repairs to mechanical systems, a plumbing, electrical, or contractor receipt

may suffice. If the repairs were made by the seller, the inspector may need to go back and certify completion and write a statement to the lender. In some cases the appraiser may need to go back and do a final inspection to verify completion. The appraisal and all the documentation is reviewed by the lender’s underwriter. If they are not satisfied they can call for additional information or verification. While most appraisal and lending files get through underwriting smoothly without requiring further documentation, I would caution about waiting to the last minute to get this done. If additional information is requested from the buyer or seller at the last minute, it could be difficult to obtain since it is likely
“
The appraisal is a key factor in most home sales. The appraiser is literally the “eyes for the lender”. They substantiate the value of the home based on resent sales in the area, ideally from the past six months. In the past, lenders had a list of approved appraisers they would use for their appraisals. They rotated the appraisal orders through the entire list. If they had a property, say a home on an acreage or in Old Town, that they felt a particular appraiser had a stronger expertise in, they could request that appraiser for that job. This direct contact no longer exists. During the mortgage melt down there were claims that there was too much influence or pressure on appraisers to “push” values. Today, the lenders do not have direct contact with appraisers. They must order the appraisal through an appraisal management company (AMC). The AMC has a list of appraisers that they use to put the appraisals out to “bid” for. The
that everything is packed! If additional information is needed from the appraiser, inspector, or 3rd party vender, you are depending on them to be available to respond. Be proactive! Verify with the lender that they have the documentation they need. Better yet, be sure the entire file, including the appraisal, is through underwriting well before closing.

BUYING MORTGAGES INSURANCE INSPECTIONS FEES
Vacancies Available With some prior research and a little TLC, once-vacant foreclosed properties can have appealing price tags for buyers
By Erik J. Martin CTW Features Thinking about purchasing a foreclosed home? You may be able to take some of the stress out of that distressed-property transaction by investigating how long it’s been vacant, the experts say. With a glut of foreclosed properties flooding the market following the housing crash and economic downturn, many of these homes have sat vacant for months or years. In fact, RealtyTrac recently reported that owners have vacated more than 167,000 foreclosure properties nationwide, representing 20 percent of all American homes in the foreclosure process. But like a stagnant pool that quickly grows contaminated with bugs, homes left empty for too long can breed all manner of problems that prospective purchasers should consider. Some homeowners are
angry and bitter about losing their homes, says Marc Israel, attorney and executive vice president of Kensington Vanguard National Land Services, a national title insurance company in New York City. “This situation can lead to intentional damage and destruction caused by the homeowner and years of neglecting basic upkeep.” For instance, he says, “Major systems and things such as plumbing, electrical and the roof all need regular and consistent upkeep, and when these systems are ignored, the damage that can be caused is significant.” Terry Martin-Back, a certified general contractor, broker associate and co-owner of Exit Realty Producers in Gainesville, Fla., says theft is another common concern in long-abandoned homes. “I often find that the HVAC condensing units, appliances, light fixtures and copper pipes and
wiring have been stolen. In a few cases, I’ve also witnessed all the cabinets and vanities removed.” Martin-Back says. “Vandalism, ranging from broken windows to graffiti on interior walls, is another issue.” Extremely cold weather could cause pipes to burst; on the other end of the spectrum, warm and humid weather could encourage mold and mildew growth. Prior to committing to any distressed home purchase, shoppers should have a thorough home inspection performed by a professional, learn the true value of the property from their real estate agent and ask as many questions as possible from the bank or entity that owns it. “Learn how long the property has been idle, what repairs or improvements have been made since the foreclosure and if they were permitted and inspected,” Martin-Back says. “Ask
if any water intrusion or flooding occurred in the home. And did environmental conditions cause the previous owners to abandon the property?” It may be difficult to get straight answers, because the bank that owns the home rarely knows much about the history or condition of the property, says Bill Golden, agent with RE/ MAX Metro Atlanta Cityside in Atlanta. Unlike transactions where the seller is a private citizen, “The bank is probably not going to make repairs for the buyer based on inspection,” Golden says. “Buy only if the price affords you enough room to take this worst-case scenario into account without over-improving the property.” In other words, the cost of repairs should not be higher than the amount of money you save by purchasing the distressed property, as compared to other similar properties
nearby. Reggie Marston, president of Residential Equity Management Home Inspections, LLC, in Springfield, Va., mentions that in some cases, for the bank to accept a contract on the home, the purchaser has to waive all inspections and take the home ‘as is.’” That’s a much riskier transaction, and Marston recommends that buyers always find a “competent team of professionals” to review a property first. Golden says foreclosures can still be a good value for the right buyers, so long as they are well informed. Smart buyers who understand the risks in purchasing a distressed, vacated home “can do very well if they carefully shop and negotiate for the home,” Israel says. © CTW Features

a steady increase in prices year to year, with the first half of 2013 showing a particularly sharp jump along with shorter time to closing, indicating a continuing strong demand for Old Town homes. Also of note: 16 homes sold in the first six months of 2013 above $500,000.
This compares to an average of about 12 homes each year in that price category for 2010 through 2012. Look for more stats at the end of the year to see how 2013 continues to perform.

There are bad people in the world. The kind who will commit fraud and sell the house of a 67-year-old former roller derby queen while she’s vacationing in Florida. Buy a house from those bad people and you’ll want to have chosen a title company that can help you resolve the matter as quickly as possible, whether that means reimbursing your investment or paying the real owner for the house so she can move to Florida for good. Schemes like this happen more often than you know – which is why choosing the right title company is so important.
