[quote=jpinpb]I got this email from a realtor. Somehow I ended up on his list and occasionally still get mass-emailed newsletters:
I’m in Denver at another HUGE industry foreclosure conference. Next week I should have some hot-off-the-press updates for you on foreclosures and the state of the real estate market.
6 Reasons foreclosures have slowed…TEMPORARILY
…and should surge soon, plus a wildcard:
1. California SB1137- Delays foreclosure process by forcing lenders to contact delinquent borrowers, putting a “kink” in the foreclosure pipeline. However, timelines have now adjusted.
2. Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac have just ended their approximate 5-month foreclosure and eviction moratorium.
3. Various banks doing voluntary foreclosure moratoria &/or experimenting with loan modifications to see if they work to decrease loss. Mixed result.
4. U.S. government strong-arming lenders to work with borrowers on loan modifications. Again, mixed result.
5. Obama administration’s foreclosure assistance proposals will do little for San Diego because they focus on people with equity or no more than 5% under water. Too many in San Diego exceed the 5%…
6. On June 1, the “California Foreclosure Prevention Act” adds 90 days to the foreclosure process for banks that don’t have a viable loan modification process in place. Since ALL banks do, this law has ZERO impact unless the state politicians grandstand and refuse to okay these programs and declare the lenders in non-compliance.
7. BIG wildcard that won’t go away: Six months of rumors and proposals about the U.S. government buying bad mortgages from banks. Will they or won’t they? And if so, does that mean they (we!) give away even more $$$ so people can keep their homes? Or will the government foreclose and sell the homes just like the banks would???

I find great real estate deals every week. But too often we cant match a client in time and someone else scoops it up. (My bank-clients wont let me buy their properties, or I’d be my best client!)
So I developed my Private Client Group, a select group of people serious, qualified, and ready to grab a great deal on a home or investment when — or before — it hits the market.
If you’d like to be in the Preferred Client Group, you need to:
Pre-approve with our approved lender

Most of the time realtors play a favourable angle towards buyer(may be a real trick) – if buyer is thinking price go down they keep talk those specific dialouges that keeps buyer away from stress during making decission. However finally many realtors make us to compromise to the current market trend though they new much better things than us. I found the same version at the end of this email. Any way the initial content of the email about foreclosures are much plesant while reading.
