I think I speak for all readers of The Monthly Grapevine when I declare today that I’m ready for Spring. I’m looking forward to the wonderful weather of East County and seeing the residents out and about. The beautiful colors of nature will be all around us, and the long sleeves and umbrellas will disappear with the rain.

If you really think about it, Spring is a time for discovery. You discover that you need to spruce up your yard; maybe try some new plants or landscaping. You discover that mounds of miscellaneous materials have gathered in several corners of your home, and they need to get organized. You discover that it’s time to do something different with your hair, or that your kids don’t fit into their warm-weather clothes from last year. I’m pleased to let you know that the pages of The Monthly Grapevine are filled with many solutions to help you take care of these discoveries, so you can “spring” into a new season!

Now, it’s easier than ever by using our newest online features! Use your computer or smart phone to easily locate an advertiser. GotheVine.com will transport you to the landing page for our digital coupons, where you 4

GIFTS... ETC.

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

Get me to the Airport, Please!

Well, Cupid just shot hundreds of arrows into the Far East County to welcome in Valentine’s Day. It was amazing driving through the streets of Brentwood with all of the red balloons in front of local businesses and on the end of a six foot ribbon being stuffed into the back seat of the car to make that good impression on loved ones. With the weather cooperating, the annual holiday of love seemed to come off without a glitch. What a perfect time for this secret shopper to check in on a local business that can continue to make a special day even better.

Professional Air Shuttle Service is “Your passport to convenience!” This local transportation company allows all travelers to take the worry out of getting to the airport on time. When I got this assignment I was pretty excited to tell our readers about this great company. Having used their service before, I was no stranger to what a valuable asset they are to those of us who don’t like to worry about all of the hassle of airports, parking

and especially dragging all that luggage to the front doors. How cool it is to have all your stuff on the front porch and deliver you and your “necessary” five extra suitcases to the front door of the airport, right on time?

And they service the greater Bay area, East County and surrounding areas to Oakland, San Francisco and Sacramento Airports.

I think the part I liked most was their online website that lets you check availability, prices and sign up for exclusive offers and updates if you join their mailing list. You can email your questions and find out everything you need to know to make you trip to the airport less of a hassle and actually fun. And they pick up and drop off passengers at several convenient locations for an affordable, bargain price. Did I mention if you were on a budget that they are the best place to shop for the best price on shuttle service?

They also provide DOOR TO DOOR SERVICE 24 hours a day, picking up and dropping off passengers to locations of their choosing. They can handle large numbers of passengers or very early or late delivery and pick-up. They are safe and reliable and can talk with you about your special needs with just a quick phone call. Having used big limousine companies in the past who always had a big excuse about their late arrival or different price when the driver showed up, I

Competitive Cheer and Hip Hop EAST COUNTY ALL STARS!

personally found that Professional Air Shuttle Service arrived on time, was extremely pleasant and helpful, charged the price I was quoted and got me to the airport on time without a white knuckle ride. That counts two points in my book.

If you are like me and many of my friends, the thought of calling for a shuttle to the airport was something for those more fortunate than me. This was until the first time we priced the parking and the hassle of loading and unloading all of those bags at the curb while my husband had to park and run back to help me check in. What a pain in the “you know what!” And when it came down to it, it was actually more expensive. Now, we always use this service and have never looked back.

So, my pals at Pro Air, thanks for getting me to my flight on time and not complaining about my extra baggage. You are an absolute asset to this area and a pleasure to work with. The Monthly Grapevine gives you five sets of silver wings for your excellent service and kindness to me, and I am sure, all who use your service. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

PRUDENTIAL REALTY

show. It would take years just to break even on the balance of the loan. This likens your situation to a long term lease. This may be a viable scenario depending on your goals.

Mortgage Mortality?

We have probably all heard the term strategic default by now. This is when a home owner realizes that their home is no longer an asset. Many home owners are deciding that it does not make financial sense to stay when they can walk away with little consequence. Loan modification, Short Sale or Strategic Default; which one is right for you? These are questions many of us are asking in the current economy. The answer, however, is a very individual decision.

Many lenders are now offering modifications to homeowners in distress. These are generally what I consider “band-aid” solutions as the banks seldom offer principal reductions. Usually the bank will offer to lower you payment over a fixed period of time and slowly raise it. They accomplish this by extending the payment over a longer period and tier the interest rate to make the payments affordable. The problem with these terms is that without a principle reduction you are not building equity. In today’s market where a homes value may be upside down or have a negative equity of over 70% current appreciation projections

Foreclosure or simply walking away from the home is another option. There are, of course, pros and cons to this approach. The legal repercussions can vary depending on each individual’s situation. California is a nonrecourse state and has what is called a one action rule which basically states that if your home is foreclosed and sold by the trustee, that is the only recourse for the lender. Which means, generally speaking, you can walk away with little or no legal consequence. These rules can apply to primary homes and second or investment property. I would definitely advise anyone seeking foreclosure to seek legal advise for their individual scenarios.

If you are considering a strategic default I suggest you look into a short sale as an option.

A Short Sale is when the borrower/owner sells a property during a pre-foreclosure process. It is called a short sale because the owner will sell the property “short” of the balance owed on the note, not because it is quick. Over the last twelve months the various banks and lending institutions have become much more workable in approving short sales. Because a short sale is perceived as a proactive choice by the borrower, the credit compiling agencies tend to score it higher than a foreclosure or a deed-in-lieu.

The Monthly Grapevine® EAST COUNTY EDITION MARCH 2011

I would always advise my clients to seek advice from an attorney under bankruptcy protection a well. Many homeowners have incurred a substantial amount of debt in this economy and a bankruptcy may be a good option to help you afford to keep your home by eliminating burdensome debt. Although legally you may not need to pursue a short sale after the bankruptcy, in regard to credit building it is still a good option. One of the most compelling reasons for a short sale over a foreclosure is the simple fact that it puts you back in charge of your immediate future. With a short sale, you will have a plan of action and a time table.

Let me be clear, I am not advocating to anyone to ignore their financial obligations.

What I am saying is that you should look at your own situation and make the decision that is best for YOU and your family and not the bank. I advocate a business approach which is what the Banks use in their decision making process. It is not personal, it’s just business. It is very important that you should be informed about your options and possible consequences.

I advertise my meat packs and catering in the magazine and I continue to get hits month after month. On a personal level, the Grapevine is the first publication that I pick up when I am looking for skilled labor. I highly recommend advertising in the Monthly Grapevine."
