Record-low interest rates and record-low housing prices are renewing interest in the floundering housing market for many people.

“When sellers are interviewing real estate agents to market their homes, their primary focus is usually on the advertising that the agent will offer them,” says Jessica Goodbody of Weichert Realtors.

Insurance Fire Question: We live in a hillside

neighborhood with homes on about one acre. The house is 20 years old and has a stucco exterior, tile roof, interior fire sprinklers, alarm system attached to a monitor and a fire hydrant about 300 feet away. Our insurance has been about $7,500 a year because we are six miles from a fire station.

Our fire insurance has now been canceled. Our broker said a number of companies were pulling out of the state because of the recent fires in northern California. The best quote she could get was $27,000 a year. We must have insurance because our mortgage requires it. What can we do?

Answer: This is an enormously important

question because across the country there are more and more properties that face threats from fires, flooding, etc. In this case we contacted the

California Department of Insurance (CDI) and they responded with some interesting information that gives homeowners in all states some ideas regarding how best to handle an insurance cancellation.

The CDI explained that “we are aware there has been an increase in non-renewals and understand that residential insurance is getting harder to find in any area that insurers identify as having a higher than average risk of wildfire. The CDI doesn’t have the legal authority to tell insurers what level of risk they must write or where they must write insurance, we can only monitor that they are consistent in their decisions and that their decisions are based on considerations of risk, not other biases.”

The Department offered a series of recommendations that can be summarized as follows: First, “if you get a nonrenewal notice, contact your insurer and ask if there are any specific actions

they fell to the four percent category. At that level, some 4.9 million homeowners can refinance into a new loan that’s at least .75 percent lower than their current rate, estimates mort-

gage data firm Black Knight.

For individual owners, though, the calculation involves more than how much a new rate will lower payments.

Any borrower should be given a clear esti-

mate of all the fees associated with taking a new loan, and the estimate should be very close to what you actually pay at closing, says Melissa Stegman of the Center for Responsible Lending.

you could take to mitigate your risk and retain your coverage.”

Second, if you think the cancellation was unfair, you can file a complaint with the state.

Third, do not delay the search for replacement coverage even if you intend to file a complaint.

Fourth, be aware that an insurance agent may represent just one company. The state recommends that “you should also contact an independent agent or broker who represents multiple insurers to seek coverage. Verify which insurers each agent you contact represents in order to conduct a thorough search of all insurers.”

Finally, “If none of these avenues work for you,” says the state, “you may try obtaining coverage through a “surplus lines” insurer (note, these insurers are not backed by the California Insurance Guarantee Association).

pring is in full bloom – yet another sign that, if you’re in the market to buy a home in 2019, a good chunk of the year has already passed. Before long it will be summer, a season when it can be tricky to find and purchase the right home.

If you’re determined to buy while the weather is warm and move in before autumn hits, it’s important to know what kind of real estate climate to expect during your summertime shopping.

For buyers in Austin, Texas, where Vi Nguyen, CEO and cofounder of Homads, is based, June through September has its pros and cons.

“Typically, the summer months bring a larger selection of homes but also a higher demand,” says Nguyen. “Most agents here are very busy during the summer months, and it’s when they make the bulk of their deals.”

Meanwhile, in Silicon Valley, where real estate broker and attorney David Roberson is headquarApril 19, 2019

How to find the best real estate agent for your hot season home search

Look for an agent who comes highly referred with plenty of experience. Those who have attained official Realtor status often fit these criteria.

“Aim for someone with a minimum of 500 closed transactions. Choose someone who you can count on to notify you right away with alerts of listed properties that meet your criteria,” Roberson suggests.

Additionally, “pick someone who is smart, responsive, and experienced in your chosen market. Ask them lots of questions – about your local market, about what they can do for you that you can’t do on your own, and about what specific benefits and services they provide,” says Gary Lucido, president of Lucido Realty, Inc., in Chicago.

“Ask them to walk you through the last transaction they did and how it helped the buyer. And determine if they will be available to help you when the weather – and the market – heats up.”
