There is a new buzzword being used in today’s real estate market, that term is Short Pay Refinance.

Most of you have not heard about this.  It is a new approach were a new lender negotiates on your behalf  with your current lender to pay less than the full amount for the pay off of the existing loan. This is not a loan re-modification. This is a new loan with new terms and lower balance.

This is an amazing concept, basically you get to buy your home again at the current market value.

I’m not an e-Pro.

For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, an e-Pro is a real estate designation given after taking an approved course from NAR, the National Association of Real Estate. After paying some amount of money for said designation, and after looking over the course work, I quickly saw I had been had– and so was the public, if they cared much about this particular designation. In short, if I took and learned anything at all from the e-Pro course it would mean I wasn’t nearly qualified to market your property on the Internet. If you are interested as to why this is, read Real Estate Tomato’s, “e-Pro is a Tinfoil Badge”.

And if you want to see what I’m doing instead of studying to be an e-Pro, take a look at my list….

Top Ten Things I Do As a Realtor Instead of Studying for the e-Pro Designation

1. Posting via postletts and quickblog, New Listings every week  to Posterous, Craiglist, Sac News and Review and more.
2. Updating my Hyper Local Real Estate Blogs to showcase new listings and find my sellers buyers who, might be other’s agent’s clients, but visit my site regularly for updated information.
3. Exposing your home, should you sell with me, to Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Facebook Marketplace and Craiglist audience– because these online venues are visited more often by home buyers than traditional print advertising.
4. Texting, facebooking, emailing, and twittering my clients to keep them abreast of any market changes in the quickest, cleanest communication method they are comfortable with and…
5. Oh yes, I actually still phone clients and even better, meet with them face-to-face.
6. Creating out-of-the-box virtual presentations of your home and embed them on mutiple sites from Vimeo to You Tube, From Blog posts to Facebook– NOT just MLS.
7. Networking online with literally hundreds of agents from San Francisco to Pollock Pines, From Sacramento to Los Angeles to expose your home to the largest market possible– NOT just Davis.
8. Holding your home open,  personally, because despite it all, there is no replacement for the face-to-face. And along those lines…
9. Networking offline with Realtors, Mortgage Brokers, CPA’s and other professionals making “keeping the deal together” much easier should things get rough– and they do.  An agent with good social skills and the ability to negotiate calmly is harder to find than you might imagine.
   
10. Keeping it real. Today’s market is a tough one. Seller’s might not want to hear that their property cannot sell at “X” price, and I know you can find an agent who will tell you exactly what you want to hear. But, I promise you, unless your agent is being straightforward and genuine– which includes sometimes delivering news you don’t want to hear– your home will be sitting on the market, unsold and most likely not even shown for months to come. So, I like to keep it real, using trends and data that I keep up with daily and are concrete.

In short, I’m busy using my advanced internet skill sets selling your home or finding you one to buy. If you’d like to reap the benefits of my work ethic, everyday stamina and dynamic tech-skills call me (530.601.1003), skype me (carmen.isais), twitter me, facebook me or otherwise contact me. I’m always connected.
