AFTER 50 YEARS, QUAIL CREEK REMAINS RESIDENTIAL ANCHOR BY RICHARD MIZE Real Estate Editor richardmize@opubco.com
Quail Creek, after 50 years, is its own center of gravity — a residential anchor of north Oklahoma City. “Quail Creek” is a household name far from the original square mile of former pasture where developer John W. “Jack” Johnston surprised everyone in 1960 by talking up grand plans for the multimillion-dollar Quail Creek Golf & Country Club and hundreds of homes. The now 2-square-mile Quail Creek — bounded by Portland and May avenues, Hefner Road and the Kilpatrick Turnpike — is considered a destination neighborhood where a sense of “community” has always been a present reality, not a wistful memory. But 50 years ago, people weren’t so sure about Johnston’s plans.

Country Club’s improvements go beyond walls and landscape BY RICHARD MIZE Real Estate Editor richardmize@opubco.com
Quail Creek Golf & Country Club is strutting its stuff at 50. Membership has been on the rebound the past seven years. There are 910 members on the rolls, up 42.6 percent since 2003 — even as many country clubs are stumbling. Growing membership and revenues have allowed for numerous renovations lately. One of the biggest improvements came in the dining room, said club President Mark Payne, who came from Nichols Hills to the Quail Creek neighborhood when his parents, Ralph and Doris Payne, moved in the 1970s. Payne maintains his stake and membership even though he now lives in the Rose Creek neighborhood. His wife Teresa’s parents,
Frank and Nancy Tarpley, were charter members of the club when it formed in 1960. “Having food, good food,” is important, Payne said, and that was accomplished by bringing in executive chef Johnny Houzvicka from Dallas. Houzvicka “creates menus that entice a diverse range of tastes from gourmet items to lighter, healthconscious entrees to sandwiches and ‘kid-friendly’ items,” the club boasts on its website. Menus weren’t the only things improved in club dining. The club brought in Tom Hoch Design, an Oklahoma City-based designbuild firm specializing in club, resort, hotel, restaurant and recreational spaces, to reorient the kitchen, staging area and dining room with an eye to improved efficiency and increased revenue.
Revenue enhancement “Food and beverage expenses were skyrocketing due to staffing requirements, and revenue was falling short of projected levels due to interior spacing and flow issues,” Tom C. Hoch, president and creative director, said in a summary of the project. Relocating and redesigning the kitchen and staging area reduced the distance to the dining room and banquet hall, which “eliminated the need for ‘runners’ and doubling up on staff for events and peak dining periods,” said Hoch, who also improved the dining room with custom-built, semicircle elevated booths, wood paneling and modern art and lighting. The work cost about $500,000, with 35 members agreeing to prepay their dues for two years to help fund it, said Bob Philbrick, general manager. SEE CLUB, PAGE 2F
Full agenda awaits consumer protection agency WASHINGTON — The financial reform bill signed into law by President Barack Obama may look like a cornucopia of helpful changes for homebuyers and loan applicants — not the least of which will be the creation of a powerful Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to ride herd on the mortgage lending industry. But how soon will anyone see hard, tangible results of the law? When will the bureau begin writing new rules and cracking down on problems and abuses in everything from home real-estate settlements to credit scores to “truth in lending” and equal credit opportunity? At the moment, it looks like it will be a while, even if the president nominates a director for the consumer protection bureau quickly and the Senate confirms her or him without partisan bloodletting or a filibuster.

Innovations attract “When Quail Creek first started, we thought it was the end of the Earth. No stoplights. Dirt roads. People just shook their heads,” said Mark Dale, a builder who built Quail Creek homes on his own and with his father, the late Everett Dale. Before long, though, with the 40,000-squarefoot native stone and glass clubhouse taking shape, people were signing up for a share of Johnston’s dream. By March 1961, two houses were constructed — the first one by Everett Dale, at the corner of Rock Hollow and Quail Creek Road — and 460 of the 600 club memberships originally available had been sold. People were talking about the unusual layout of the golf course — winding among the freshly paved streets, with many lots backing to the
ASK MI-LING
Kenneth Harney THE NATION’S HOUSING
Here’s a quick overview of what to expect and when: The reform law itself contains deadlines for action, but they may not be as immediate as some consumers would prefer. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is carrying the ball, and he has had a team at work for weeks drafting the basic structure of the new consumer bureau, which will eventually be housed inside the Federal Reserve. Under the law, Geithner has a deadline of Sept. 19 to designate a “transfer date” when key legal and regulatory authorities shift from such agencies as the Feder-
al Trade Commission, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Fed to the new consumer bureau. In effect, that will be the date the bureau, with initial funding projected at $500 million a year, springs to life with a staff and full set of teeth. By law, it must be no earlier than next Jan. 17 and no later than Jan. 21, 2012. At a White House briefing, Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin asked for understanding about the huge task ahead of creating an entirely new agency that must take over responsibility for consumer protection statutes on the books for decades. “This will take some time,” he said, “but it’s worth it.” What sort of tangible benefits might begin to flow once the bureau takes official form? One of the earliest — and most widely
anticipated changes in the real estate field — will involve appraisals on homes. The law requires the agency to quickly come up with new interim rules on appraisal accuracy and independence designed to replace the controversial “Home Valuation Code of Conduct” rules imposed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2009. That alone should bring relief to buyers, sellers, realty agents and builders who have complained about inept, deal-breaking appraisals fostered by the code. In a companion move, the reform law also sets standards for appraisal management companies that function as thirdparty vendors for many lenders, and who have been criticized for assigning valuations to inexperienced appraisers who are unfamiliar with local conditions and willing to work for low
fees. Another early tangible benefit: A national hot line system that will allow aggrieved mortgage borrowers and others to lodge complaints and alert the bureau to unfair and deceptive practices. The new agency will also assume control of a key consumer protection statute known as RESPA — the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act — that seeks to prevent underthe-table kickbacks and padded fees by lenders, title companies, realty agents and builders. RESPA governs the transaction cost disclosures that millions of borrowers receive at application — the “good faith estimates” — as well as the standard closing form known as the HUD-1.

The remodeling market slid backward during the second quarter, according to the latest National Association of Home Builders’ Remodeling Market Index. The index, which combines current and future market indicators, sunk to 40.7 from 43.8 in the first quarter. Current market conditions slid to 42.6 from 44.5 the previous quarter. Future indicators declined to 38.9 from 43.1. The index measures market demand based on remodelers’ perceptions and indicators of future activity like calls for bids. Any number below 50 indicates that more remodelers say market conditions are getting worse than report improving conditions. The index has been running below 50 since the final quarter of 2005.
TAPE HELPS SOLVE PROBLEM FrogTape promises to solve the problem of paint bleeding under the edges of your painter’s tape. The tape is treated with PaintBlock Technology, a superabsorbent polymer. When the paint comes into contact with the polymer, a gel forms instantly. The gel creates a barrier that prevents paint from oozing underneath the tape, keeping paint lines crisp, the company said. The tape is available in a variety of widths and comes in a reusable plastic canister designed to protect the tape edges from damage. FrogTape has a suggested retail price of $6 to $12, depending on the size. It’s sold at Lowe’s and SherwinWilliams stores and other paint and hardware stores. FROM WIRE REPORTS

course. People were talking about the utilities, of all things; most of the electric lines were underground. The Oklahoma City Times reported on the project, which the year before was just a “rumored housing development” in an unlikely place: “Quail Creek: A Big Dream is Fast Becoming Reality.” “It just caught on,” Dale said, despite “the bar (being set) a little higher.”
Sustainable popularity Lots were larger than most are today, ranging from just less than ½ acre to 2⁄3 acre. The minimum home size was 2,000 square feet — at a time when the U.S. average was far less. The average size by 1973, the first year for which statistics are available, was only 1,660 square feet. The country club was attracting younger families turned away by the long waiting list for membership in Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club, whose rolls were full. Quail Creek had much going for it from the start, but Johnston’s approach to development made its popularity sustainable, said his sonin-law, developer Mark Gautreaux, developer of Fairway Farms and a partner with Mark Dale in The Abbey addition. “When you stand back and look at it, it’s an uncommonly large development,” Gautreaux said, noting that Johnston managed to line up adjacent parcels of land and put deals together as needed, in a way that probably would be impossible now. “He tied the entire 2 square miles up wonderfully.” Johnston also kept Quail Creek’s

40-odd phases “doable” — doing them one at a time in a series of smallish splashes rather than one big splash. “You always had that new section coming on,” Gautreaux said.
‘Iconic neighborhood’ Quail Creek is fit at 50, although the May 16 hailstorm is still keeping roofing-repair companies hopping in the area. The hailstorm caused widespread damage in the neighborhood. The storm and the extremely rare robbery of a high-profile couple in late April — former Gov. George Nigh and his wife, Donna, in their own driveway — prompted Georgie Rasco, executive director of Neighborhood Alliance Inc., to write a letter of encouragement to the Quail Creek Homeowners Association. “For decades, you have been an iconic neighborhood, one where people aspire to live, not only because of the beautiful and well-built
homes, but because of the social connections that the neighborhood encourages among its neighbors. You have truly created a ‘community’ inside of your neighborhood,” Rasco wrote in the letter, posted on the association website, www.quail creek.org. Rasco wrote that Quail Creek’s homeowners association — even though it’s voluntary — is the largest of more than 400 associations in the metro area and that the jumbo-size addition has one of the lowest crime rates. “You are truly doing things right in Quail Creek, and we encourage you to keep it up. ... Neighborhood Alliance often uses you as an example when other neighborhoods ask how to beef up their safety factor,” he wrote. “We applaud your community efforts and recognize you as a leader in building safe, beautiful and social neighborhoods in the OKC areas.”

The result? “Quail Creek saved considerable labor costs through spacing, planning and redesign of its food and beverage facilities and operations. The new dining space and inviting, stimulating atmosphere added to the food and beverage top line, bolstering sales by 21 percent,” Hoch said.
Other renovations Other recent renovations at Quail Creek include work on outdoor and indoor tennis courts, the driving range and golf practice facility, sports bar, outdoor patio and fitness center. The club got a new entrance and landscaping with a water feature and a new swimming pool with a water slide.
The work even included a new maintenance facility to replace an original, 50year-old wooden barn that Carl Spackler would have been comfortable calling home. (Spackler was the gopher-obsessed, varmint-exploding assistant groundskeeper played by Bill Murray in the 1980 golf club comedy “Caddyshack.”) Of all the improvements, Payne said the one that excites him most has less to do with the clubhouse and more to do with the future of the club membership: The average age of the membership has been reduced from near retirement to the primeof-life early 50s. “That’s the most thrilling,” he said. “There are lots of little kids out here now.”

Club’s design heralded as significant structure The low-slung Quail Creek Golf & Country Club clubhouse, designed by the architecture firm Howard Samis & Davies, was deemed as one of the 100 most architecturally significant structures in the state in 2007 by the Oklahoma City Foundation for Architecture and the American Institute of Architects Central Oklahoma Chapter. The design used more
than 2,000 tons of creamy beige, natural limestone called silverdale stone, quarried in Kansas, and large expanses of glass meant to welcome the outdoors in. The architecture, which was probably considered somewhat futuristic in the early 1960s, is fitting for 2010. — Richard Mize, Real Estate Editor

Kansas Realtors target of new scam
Relaxed and spacious, the Palermo is designed to suit families who prefer an informal lifestyle. Family living spaces flow together at the rear in the naturally bright vaulted great room. The room by the entry could be outfitted as a media room, study or home office. Storage space is generous throughout, with large cabinets and closets in the entry, great room, kitchen, owners’ suite and utility room, not to mention the three-car garage. The entry’s lofty ceiling is 12 feet high and begins sloping up as you move into the great room. A parade of windows spangles the back and side walls, while a gas fireplace fits neatly into a corner. Deep shelving is ample for housing a home entertainment center. A long conversation bar with an overhead plant shelf marks the kitchen boundary without cutting it off from the larger space. Someone standing at the kitchen range can survey the entire room, or gaze past the skylit dining area through French doors to watch the changing seasons. A partially covered patio spans the rear. Utilities and a compact bathroom are nearby, nestled in a pass-through space that leads to the garage. French double doors in the lavish owners’ suite offer direct patio access. A perfect spot for a hot tub is right around the corner. Other amenities include two huge walk-in closets and an owners’ bath with double vanity, enclosed toilet, oversized shower and deep soaking tub.

The Wichita Eagle
WICHITA, Kan. — A second, potentially more lucrative residential real estate scam with international roots has surfaced in Wichita and Kansas. A foreign buyer claiming interest in the cash purchase of an expensive residential listing has been contacting several real estate agents, according to the National Association of Realtors and Kansas Association of Realtors. In fact, what the supposed buyer wants to do is defraud the agents and their attorneys out of thousands of dollars, the associations say. In one Wichita case, the bogus buyer tried to bilk a broker and attorney out of $141,000. Murray Anderson, an agent with J.P Weigand & Sons, said his story began in mid-May with “a pretty standard inquiry e-mail about a million-dollar house.” Anderson said he forwarded a copy of the listing, and quickly received a letter in broken English from Japan in return. To quote from the e-mail, provided by Anderson: “I will like home inspection to be done on the property.” In addition, the letter asked Anderson to retain an attorney to handle the financial transaction. “Let me know how much you send, and I’ll contact my financier,” Anderson said. “I backtracked on the name through Google and found him up in Canada.” So Anderson and his broker, Weigand residential general manager Gary Walker, met and agreed to proceed carefully. “I told Gary I thought there was about a 2 percent chance this was real, and he agreed,” Anderson said. “But I followed through, not wanting to ignore a potential buyer.” In fact, it wasn’t real. Anderson said he and a Wichita attorney, Dave Dahl, contacted the bogus buyer, asking for $9,000 to cover costs. What they received was a cashier’s check on a bank in Canada for $150,000 via first-class mail, probably bogus, Anderson said. “I immediately went on Google, put in the name of the guy in Japan, the bank in Canada’s name, put the word ‘scam’ behind it and sure enough I read 18 stories from other Realtors who had received exactly the same letter,” Anderson said. So he and Dahl pulled the plug on the deal. “Their mode of operation is to send a huge cashier’s check that isn’t real,” Anderson said. “They ask you to deposit it and notify them as soon as it’s deposited. The scam, then, is to come right back and call the lawyer or the title company where you deposited the check and tell you they need to cancel the contract. And, of course, they want you to refund the difference.” The difference, in this case, was $141,000 — not subtle enough, Anderson said. MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE INFORMATION SERVICES

YUKON — The real estate firm formerly known as Coldwell Bank Twin Rivers is now affiliated with RE/MAX and is known as RE/MAX Twin Rivers Realty. Brian Woodward, broker and co-owner, has been in the real estate business for 14 years, 12 with the previous franchiser. He said “RE/ MAX’s leadership, vision and resources” fueled his decision to make the switch. “The decision to join RE/MAX was a no-brainer,” he said. “My wife, Su-

It’s an organization that understands what we face every day in the marketplace.” The Woodwards bring more than 30 sales associates to RE/MAX. “There’s a buzz of excitement in the office,” said Woodward, whose office closed $65.5 million in total volume and 437 transactions in 2009. “During a recent in-office RE/MAX LeadStreet training, our associates were getting leads before we even finished the course.

Time waters down complaint over leaks DEAR BARRY: When we bought our home, no one disclosed the defective flat roof over our living room, not even our home inspector. The rainy season began weeks after we moved in, and we’ve been fighting leaks since. After three years of patching, we replaced the bad roof. But it seems unfair that we should be stuck with this expense. Do we have any recourse against the inspector or the sellers for not disclosing this defect? Henry DEAR HENRY: There are two issues that reduce the strength of your claim: You waited three years to lodge a complaint for nondisclosure, and you have removed all evidence that there was a defective roof. When homebuyers discover defects after the close of escrow, home inspectors, sellers and agents should be notified immediately, and reinspection of disputed conditions should be scheduled as soon as possible. Some home inspectors specify this as a liability requirement in their contracts, and many contracts require reinspection before making repairs. When the leaks first became known, one question was paramount: Were the roof defects visibly apparent during the inspection? Reinspection at that time might have provided a clear answer. In some cases, a flat roof that leaks will appear to be in perfect condition. In those cases, a home inspector would not be liable unless there were unreported ceiling stains. For the sellers, the question would have been whether leaking occurred before selling the property.

Ceiling stains might have answered that question, too, but three years of subsequent leakage have obscured any clear answers.
Time and circumstances have eliminated any basis for pursuing this claim. At this late date, the new roof should be regarded as home-buying experience. Next time you buy a home, be sure to find a highly qualified home inspector, and don’t wait to report undisclosed defects. DEAR BARRY: The home we are buying is about 25 years old and has
the original tile roof. There is evidence of leakage over the master bedroom, and our home inspector says some of the tiles are damaged. How long can we expect a tile roof to last? Vern DEAR VERN: Clay tiles and concrete tiles are typically rated as 50-year roofs. In actuality, they can be expected to last more than a lifetime. The clay
tiles on the California Spanish missions are more than 200 years old and still shed water. If your home inspector found some damaged tiles, this is not unusual. Most tile roofs are in need of maintenance repairs. Some tiles may be cracked or broken because someone carelessly walked on the surface. If the inspection report
was not specific about the damage, you should ask your home inspector for particular details, and you should ask the sellers to have the tiles repaired by a licensed roofing contractor. If the seller is unwilling to pay for repairs, get your own bid from a licensed roofer. To write to Barry Stone, go to www. housedetective.com. ACCESS MEDIA GROUP

WASHINGTON — Loan officers at banks will be required to provide their names and fingerprints to a national database as part of an effort to crack down on shady operators who fed the real estate bubble. The new requirements were mandated by a bill passed by Congress two years ago. Federal bank regulators have now approved them. The rules apply to employees of banks regulated on the federal and state levels. Mortgage brokers already were required to be licensed by the system. The registry is expected to start accepting new applications by the end of January. Once registrations start, banks will have 180 days to comply. During the housing market’s boom years, mortgage brokers had
weak regulations that varied by states. Unsavory characters were able to jump from state to state without being detected. Those regulations were beefed up in recent years by states and the federal government in the wake of the housing bust. Brokers and loan officers need to pass a national test, a state test and a criminal background check. The licensing system creates a database that banking regulators can use to track mortgage brokers or lenders who try to work in one state after being banned in another. There is also a database available to consumers at www. nmlsconsumeraccess.org. All 50 states are expected to be participating by year-end, said Bill Matthews, an official at the Conference of State Banking Supervisors that oversees the mortgage registry.
Q. I bought a condo in Yardley, Pa., in 2008. I put 20 percent down on a purchase price of $245,000. My fiance and I would like to sell the condo and buy a single-family home. My house has been on the market for 40 days. I listed it for $260,000. I upgraded the kitchen, put in hardwood floors and painted the entire place. I have had little luck. The pros of selling now are that I could buy a much cheaper place in this market and that mortgage rates are low. My fiance is a contractor, so we are looking for a fixer-upper. He can help me out with the mortgage too. The cons are that my home is my only equity, and I am not sure how low I can afford to go with the asking price of my home. I’m not in a hurry to sell but would probably need to within the next two years. Is it best to sell or stay?
Charles Carter REAL ESTATE Q&A
A. My advice is to wait the two years. I tend to view the housing market using a long-term approach. But events of the past several years are unprecedented, and so I am cautious. Looking at the 20-city composite S&P/CaseShiller U.S. National Home Price Index, the housing market was on a tear from 2000 to 2006, then headed down at the same rate until about the middle of 2008. Prices started back up but dipped again. They seem to have started up again in the past month or so. California housing prices are leading the latest increase. Sellers usually list their
houses at more than they expect to sell it for, as you probably did. Number of days on the market, or how long it takes to sell the house, is a thermometer for the market. Long periods on the market reflect a “cold” market. The index doesn’t include Philadelphia, unfortunately. Robert Shiller from Yale (who started the CaseShiller Index years ago) just started a monthly “home expectations survey” that asks a hundred top U.S. housing analysts to forecast prices five years out. The “experts” include many recognizable notables. They generally say the housing market will bounce back next year, on the track it was on before 2000.

Saving for house takes time, perseverance Some years ago, Leo Berard wrote out a $10,000 check for each of his four children. The money gave his offspring a jump start toward a down payment for the purchase of a first home, a goal all four eventually achieved. But nowadays, due to their own financial challenges, fewer parents have the wherewithal to assist their children to buy a first home. Still, the yearning for homeownership remains strong among many in their late 20s and early 30s, said Berard, a real estate broker and charter president of the National Association of Exclusive Buyer Agents (www. naeba.org). In many areas, homes are significantly more affordable than they were before the economic downturn. Still, the barriers to entry can seem monumental to cashstrapped purchasers. “Many mortgage lenders are now stringent in their down payment requirements. And lots of young people have trouble saving, particularly if they’re carrying a lot of student loans and credit card debt,” Berard said. He urges those who are serious about buying a first home to craft a strategic plan to cut their debt, reduce expenses and begin saving in earnest. Here are pointers for potential homebuyers who need to take control of their money: Do an inventory of your financial situation. A major obstacle to saving for a house is uncontrolled day-to-day spending, Berard said. But before you can decide how to reallocate your income, he recommends you review

Ellen James Martin SMART MOVES where your money has gone, category by category, over a recent threemonth period. This can be done either with pen and paper or personal finance software. Doing this preliminary inventory can be timeconsuming, as you sift through your credit card and checking account statements. In fact, the process could take the better part of a weekend or possibly even two. But Berard said it’s well worth the time. Craft a spending plan that lets you save for your homebuying goal. Once you know where your money is going, it’s time to create a budget that lets you meet your essential needs while still amassing savings for your down payment, said Eric Tyson, a personal finance expert and author of “Mind Over Money: Your Path to Wealth and Happiness.”

He encourages you to closely evaluate every segment of your spending in search of any possible reductions. For example, don’t accept the rent on your apartment as a given, especially if you live in a luxury complex with amenities you rarely use, such as a swimming pool. When your lease is up, perhaps you could move to a more modest building to cut your rental costs. Get your debt issues under control. In many cases, educational loans are nearly unavoidable, particularly for those who attend graduate or professional school. But even after their schooling is complete, many young people continue to accumulate credit card debt — and at interest rates much higher than their student loans. “You need to be very aggressive about getting your debt under control. At the minimum, you should make no new purchases on your credit cards until you’ve saved enough for your down payment,” Tyson said. To be sure, paying down credit card debt can require severe self-sacrifice. But obviously, you’ll find it much easier to amass your

your friends may question your plan to save money for a home purchase in the near future. But Tyson said that those who are persuaded by friends to postpone a home purchase might one day regret that they waited, particularly after real estate markets have strengthened and home prices have rebounded
significantly. “When you look back over past periods when consumer confidence was low, you’ll see that many people got terrific deals on real estate then. Contrarians can do very well,” Tyson said. To contact Ellen James Martin, e-mail her at ellenjamesmartin@gmail.com. UNIVERSAL UCLICK

Placing furniture on diagonal energizes room BY ROSE BENNETT GILBERT
seating area — in front of the fireplace — also add to the new angled idea that the designer was pursuing. With its gray-green walls, uncurtained windows and natural linen upholstery, the room is exactly what Lipner’s clients wanted: a subtle blend of contemporary and traditional, jazzed up just a bit by a zebraskin rug and a fresh new way of playing all the angles.
Creators Syndicate
Q: Our long, narrow living room has windows on both sides with a fireplace on the end wall. I’m having trouble arranging the furniture. I don’t want it to look like a bus station with all the seats lined up, marching down the sides. In another column, you gave some suggestions on arranging furniture when there’s a wall to back it up. What about my problem? A: Designer Deborah Lipner illustrates a creative solution in the calm and cool pictured living room. Its anatomy is similar to your room’s setup: longer than it is wide, with windows on both sides. (There was a good reason for that when the home was built in hot, sultry Charleston, S.C., around the time of the Civil War — the opposing windows assured cooling cross breezes). In these air-conditioned times, the homeowners were more concerned about how to arrange their furniture in comfortable conversational groupings. Lipner (of Deborah T.
Fannie Mae gets tough on ‘walk-aways’ BY MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE INFORMATION SERVICES
LOS ANGELES — Fannie Mae is taking aim at homeowners who are able to pay their mortgage but decide it’s not worth it, planning to go after them in court and to limit their access to home loans for seven years. The government-controlled mortgage giant said it would instruct the companies servicing its loans to recommend when it should pursue a deficiency judgment: a court order requiring a defaulting borrower to pay any remaining unpaid portion of the loan after a seized home is sold. Lenders rarely use court proceedings to pursue foreclosures in California, nearly always opting instead for a streamlined procedure involving a trustee’s sale of the home. Under state law, lenders who opt for court proceedings can obtain a deficiency judgment if the mortgage was used to refinance a home but not if it was used to finance a purchase. Fannie Mae also said it would make new mortgages harder to obtain for borrowers if it can be proved they engaged in a “strategic default” — abandoning a home to foreclosure not because the required payments are unaffordable but because the mortgage is larger than the value of the residence. For such a borrower, Fannie Mae said it would not buy or guarantee another home loan for seven years. Borrowers who worked in good faith with their loan servicers to try to stay in their homes would be barred from Fannie Mae loans for only two or three years, even if they eventually lost their homes after attempts at loan modifications failed. The ban on getting a new Fannie Mae loan is significant because homebuyers have little choice these days for financing except for mortgages bought or backed by Fannie Mae, its sister company Freddie Mac or the Federal Housing Administration. The three government-run entities financed 95 percent of new U.S. home loans last year. Freddie Mac, which blacklists strategic defaulters for five years, said it would study Fannie Mae’s changes and “consider additional changes to our polices as needed to responsibly manage risks.” Borrowers who default on FHA loans for any reason currently can’t get another loan insured by the agency for three years. Legislation pending in Congress would impose a lifetime ban on FHA loans to borrowers determined to have made a strategic default.
Playing all the angles, a designer cozies up a long, narrow room. CREATORS PHOTO
Lipner Ltd.) came to the rescue. She simply positioned everything on the diagonal. “If the furniture had been all lined up, the room would have looked flat,” she explained. By settling the sofa and cocktail
table on the diagonal, then playing off that angle for the rest of the arrangement, the room became more interesting and cozier, Lipner points out. The diamond-patterned rug and the armchairs in the second
Q: My husband and I are arguing about what to do with the guest closet in the front hall. We live where it’s always warm, so nobody ever needs to hang up a coat. I want to turn it into a display place for my shells, but what about the door? A: Take it off. Or replace it with a mostly glass door so everyone can enjoy your collection. It would be a smart way to recycle that unneeded space. Think about adding glass shelves and lighting, too. Q: Can we put ceramic tile in the kitchen area of our great room if it opens to the rest of the floor, which is cov-
ered in hardwood? I’m worried that wood won’t stand up in a kitchen, or I’d just use it all the way through. A: Stop worrying and start reading up on today’s hardwood floors. Like so many other home furnishings products, wood now comes pretreated, so it’s practically impervious to everything from pets’ nails to dropped pizza. One exception: standing water. You still can’t leave puddles on hardwood for long or you risk water damage, no matter how high-tech the surface treatment. But if you wipe up spills and splashes with reasonable alacrity, your hardwood floor will go on looking good through years and years of traffic. Then, unlike other surfacing materials, you can always have it refinished and start all over again. Wood may be one of our oldest building materials, but it’s also the ultimate recyclable.

Protect yourself when home lacks proper permits It’s an all-too-common situation. You find a perfect home for sale in an ideal neighborhood. It’s been beautifully remodeled, and it has everything you’ve been searching for. Even the price is right. Something tells you it might be too good to be true, but you put in an offer anyway, and it’s accepted. You start doing all the paperwork, and sure enough you discover the catch that you always somehow suspected was there. The sellers did all of that remodeling work without any building permits. You’re in a dilemma. You really want this house. The sellers insist that all the work was done by licensed contractors and that they have full documentation and photographs of all the work as it was being done. The sellers also tell you
Paul Bianchina HANDY @ HOME that they’re willing to allow any type of inspection on the home that you’d like — except for one by the city. They explain that they had a bad experience with a building inspector on a previous home, or that they have an ongoing feud with the city over their water bill, or they’re protesting the fact that the city hasn’t fixed the pothole on Main Street yet, or some other reason that they refuse to become involved with the local municipality. Through all this, you still want the house. Red flags are waving, but you’re try-
ing to ignore them. The remodeling really does look like it was done well, and you can certainly understand why the sellers would be protesting that big pothole, rather than trying to cover up bad workmanship on their own remodeling. Perhaps you decide to go one step further and pay for inspections on the home, hoping someone will tell you that all is well, despite the lack of permits. You may even think that you can write some provisions into your sales contract that will offer some future protection for yourself. Unfortunately, it’s probably time to walk away from this “toogood-to-be-true deal.”
Hard realities If the sellers are telling the truth about the work having been done by “licensed contractors,” then
they should be willing to provide you with a list of those names, so that’s one of the first things you should ask for. It’s doubtful you’ll get it, because in most states those contractors are risking fines and even the loss of their licenses for doing remodeling work without a permit. If the sellers are “open to any type of inspection,” ask if they’re willing to have all the walls opened up at their expense so your electrician and your plumber can thoroughly inspect the condition of the wiring and the pipes inside all of the concealed spaces. This is what the city building inspectors that they were so anxious to avoid would have done. And this is what you, as the buyer, now have no access to. That’s one of the big problems here: If you decide to
buy this house, you have no idea what’s hiding inside those walls. If, at a later date, you have a fire or a water loss that’s related to some defect that’s been hidden somewhere by the seller or one of his contractors as part of this unpermitted work, your insurance company could deny all or part of your claim as a result. Can you even imagine having a loss in your home that runs into the tens or even the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then finding out it’s not covered because the previous owner didn’t like city building inspectors? Still can’t live without that particular house? Then here’s what you need to do to protect yourself: The sellers need to provide all necessary building permits for the
›
remodeling work. If they can’t do that, then they need to pay for a licensed structural engineer, a licensed electrician, a licensed plumber and any other necessary professionals to inspect the work and issue letters stating that the structure meets or exceeds all current building codes. Using those letters, the sellers then need to contact the city building officials and obtain whatever the equivalent would be to a completed building permit. Once you have that paperwork, show it to your attorney and your homeowners insurance company to be certain it’s sufficient protection. Be sure that a copy of it is recorded with the escrow company.
