I got scrammed by Century 21

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:16:00 GMT

Century 21 misrepresented a listing, and when it came down to the title clearing - it just didn't. A second mortgage was "discovered". Well, I find I'm out a couple grand for a house that I could have never bought for the listing price. This doesn't seem right to me, but I'm not really sure what to do. My realtor is also a Century 21 realtor, and I believe her loyalties are with them. Ah, the problem with the dual agent.

Refinance - Questions about Escrow and Closing Costs

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 01:19:00 GMT

Hello all.

I am beginning the process of refinancing my current home. I currently owe $145,000 on a 30-year 6.125% $160,000 loan. I got a quote from my current bank for a Freddie Mac Streamline refinance at 4.75% - no points and am about to begin the process.

My questions,

1. How are escrow amounts calculated during a refinance with the same bank? My only escrow payment is property taxes which were just paid off in November, and I have a big balance. I would have got a nice refund when my analysis gets done in a few months. Will I have to fund a new account and have them refund me the old balance, or is a a common practice to just transfer those funds at closing?

2. Is it possible to even cancel an Escrow account and just pay it myself? Will they charge a fee/higher rate?

3. Do I have to worry about PMI on a streamline refinance of a Freddie Mac loan. I currently do not pay PMI (I paid 20% downpayment), but may fall below 80% with the current housing market.

Thanks in advance!

Short sale rejected. Need advice.

Thu, 21 May 2009 15:36:00 GMT

I just got word yesterday from my agent that the contract that we submitted to the bank for a short sale purchase was rejected. The sellers attorney said it was an automated message and it only said it was rejected and insufficient. The seller owes $322,000 and my offer was $250,000. The house was listed at 259k and my appraisal came in at 270k. Does the fact that it was out right rejected with no counter mean they are looking to get a lot more.I would think if it was a matter of 10k they would counter. If I resubmit an offer at 259k with my inspection report and appraisal would that increase my chance of approval?

Does Zestimate Knows What the True Value ?

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 23:22:00 GMT

My assumption is that Zillow is very irresponsible with their 'zestimate'. How can a home bought in 2005 for $265,000 and the owner completely retroffit the house at cost of more then $200K be worth and zestimate at $539,000 ? Real estate is a very personal matter, one that needs a personal insight into the market.
