Ginder, Esq. Short sales are a large part of the current market, and therefore a large part of most brokerages’ business. In last month’s article, attorney Michael Spilger addressed many of the challenges associated with the modern short sale. In this month’s article, I want to focus in on one of those challenges that nearly every broker, salesperson, seller or buyer in a short sale has faced: payments outside of escrow, and therefore off the HUD-1 statement. Today’s lenders are seeking revenue from any and all sources. Senior lienholders are not eager to share the sale’s proceeds with the junior lienholders; the juniors are not eager to take what the senior offers them and release liability, especially for recourse loans. The Sold-Out Junior The junior lienholder’s reluctance to cooperate during a short sale often stems from the fact that many juniors hold “recourse” promissory notes, meaning that they can seek a deficiency judgment against the borrower/ seller. Since their loans are secured by junior trust deeds recorded against real property, California law states that they must generally look first to the security (i.e., the real property) to satisfy the debt. This means that they must foreclose their lien against the property before they can seek the borrower’s unpledged assets to satisfy a deficiency. Foreclosing, however, means that the junior takes the property subject to the senior lien. If the senior lienholder forecloses, the foreclosure sale generally “wipes out” the junior liens. Before you shed too many tears for junior, realize that this means the “sold-out junior” can now sue the seller/borrower for standard breach of contract and seek a judgment against the seller/borrower’s assets (e.g., personal property, wages, etc.). In a real estate market where 1) most properties are encumbered by at least two liens; 2) many of the liens secure recourse debt; and 3) most properties lack equity sufficient to satisfy even the first lien (i.e, are “upside-down”), being a sold-out junior has its advantages. Thus, it comes as no surprise when a junior lienholder declines the few thousand dollars that most senior lienholders offer. Unfortunately, it is also no surprise when some juniors consent to the short sale only if the seller agrees to pay the junior an additional sum (or sign a new promissory note), outside of escrow and off the HUD-1 statement, so the senior doesn’t know about it. Sometimes the buyer is Turn to Page 6 for a recap and photos from the Short Sale Summit. asked to make the payment. What the senior lienholder doesn’t know won’t hurt it, right? Wrong. Remember, borrowers/sellers need the senior lienholders to consent to the short sale, and this consent must be obtained legally and with full disclosure. Sellers approach their senior lienholders with purchase offers in one hand and hardship letters in the other. When the senior lienholders make their decision and offer their terms, they do so with the understanding that the offer is the highest the buyer is willing to pay and that the seller is incapable of contributing anything else towards the outstanding loan balance; this understanding is based upon the representations that the borrower/seller makes to them. If these representations are false, because the seller is capable of paying more money to the junior lienholder (or willing to sign a new promissory note with them), this fact must be disclosed to the senior lienholder in writing and the senior must consent to it, again in writing. Similarly, if the buyer is willing to pay more for the property, by paying an additional amount to the junior, this too should be disclosed to the senior lienholder, in writing, and their written consent to it must be obtained. Both facts may affect 1) the senior’s decision to consent to the short sale, and 2) the terms the senior is willing to offer the borrower/seller. Failure to disclose to the senior means that the senior’s consent was not legally obtained; this could be construed as fraud against a federally insured lending institution. If you don’t believe me, read the California Department of Real Estate’s recent article wherein they described such payments as “a sure sign of fraud, “and “likely illegal.” 1 Finally, if a senior lienholder agrees to a short sale, premised upon the junior lienholders receiving a certain amount and the transaction closes with the senior believing those terms were honored, there can be serious consequences when the senior finds out that money was paid to the junior outside of escrow. Some senior lienholders are reinstating their security interests and taking the position that any release of personal deficiency liability was invalidated because of the fraud. A related twist on this issue are those that do add the payment to the HUD-1 form and then leave it up to the senior lienholder to discover the payment and object. This practice is really no better than what I have described above. In order to obtain meaningful legal consent, the senior lienholder must be made aware of the payment and must consent to it, in writing. Closing a short sale isn’t worth losing your real estate license and certainly isn’t worth a criminal conviction. If the junior lienholders won’t play ball without undisclosed payments made to them without the senior’s knowledge and written consent, let the deal go; it wasn’t meant to happen. 1Short Sales -- An Overview and Warning to Real Estate Licensees Re: Fraud, and Legal and Ethical Minefields by Wayne Bell and Mark Tutera Eric R.

P resident ’ s P erspecti v e 2010 President Mark Marquez Specialist. There are also many “hot topic” courses on topics such as the new RPA. Visit the “Education” page at www.sdar.com for more information or call your Membership Services Representative. I hope you had a chance to attend the 2010 Expo & Trade Show on April 23. The event was a huge success with over 1,200 real estate professionals participating. Whether you were there to take advantage of the free educational breakout sessions or to talk with the many exhibitors about their services, you walked away with valuable information. It’s hard to believe that summer is only a month away. For many of us this is a time when business slows down some. Perhaps the California Home Buyer Tax Credit will change that pattern. If you find your business is a little quiet, I recommend you take advantage of all the educational opportunities at SDAR. We are offering many designation and certification courses in the next few months like the Seller Representative If you missed the Short Sale Summit in March, please visit www.sdar.com and click on “Events” to find a link to the video from the summit. There was a great deal of helpful information discussed at the event. For a recap, please turn to page 6. Last month I recommended you save the date for our 2nd Annual Real Estate Summit taking place on August 20. In addition to NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun, we are pleased to announce that California Department of Real Estate Commissioner Jeff Davi will also be joining us. This event sold out last year so sign up early by visiting the “Events” page of our website. Surprisingly the April sales statistics show a slight decrease in sales since last month and compared to this time last year. Sales decreased 3 San Diego REALTOR The ® 2010 Officers Mark M.

Panelists offered that a complete short sale package should follow the banks guidelines and instructions including: a cover sheet identifying all lien holders, a table of contents, a signed borrower’s authorization form, a market activity report, a synopsis of terms of the submitted offer, and all details that supports the bank will mitigate their loss by accepting the short sale. All pages should include the loan number, and the packet should be sent to all lien holders simultaneously to increase chances of potential cooperation from each. Additionally, agents were advised that when working with distressed sellers, they should strongly advise and confirm in writing that before a seller signs, the seller should get professional legal, tax, and credit counseling BEFORE that seller exacerbates his/her legal and tax positions. It was recommended that this advice be given at each major decision point for the seller: 1) listing, 2) acceptance of an offer, and 3) acceptance of bank terms. After presenting the most recent information with regards to short sales, Weichelt read questions submitted by the audience. Most of the questions were about risk management or directed to the financial institutions. The sold-out Short Sale Summit provided hope to those providing short sale services.

What are you doing to stand out in the Crowd? For more tips on saving energy and money this summer, visit sdge.com/ summer. Buyers consider energy-efficiency when purchasing a home. SDAR and SDG&E are now working together to bring you important tips and tools to share with your clients that might help you close a deal, and help your clients conserve energy and save money! Mark your calendar for our first “Lunch and Learn” workshop with SDG&E on July 13, 2010 at SDAR’s East County Service Center. Participation in this course will get you a discount on the NAR Green Designation course on July 29 & 30, and increase your knowledge of new energy-efficiency regulations and programs for residential homes. You will hear more from SDAR and SDG&E over the coming months. Important Summer Tips: Saving energy saves you money, so get a head start on summer energy savings now. Here are a few ways you can prepare for hot weather. MAINTAIN THE MACHINE: Central air conditioners run more efficiently with regular maintenance, so ask clients to dig out their owner’s manual and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Basic maintenance usually includes replacing disposable filters or cleaning permanent filters, and having a qualified contractor do an annual checkup. DOG OWNERS: Know when to fence in your friend Even the friendliest dog may bite in certain situations. For safety, please secure your dog on your monthly meterreading day and during SDG&E service calls. Your dog may be your best friend, but even the friendliest dog may bite. The American Veterinary Medical Association, which co-sponsors National Dog Bite Prevention Week, May 16-22, 2010, points out that dogs of all sizes and breeds can bite, and that medical attention is needed by an estimated 800,000 of the 4.7 million people who suffer dog bites each year in the U.S. Most are young children, followed by the elderly, mail carriers and other home service providers – including utility workers – who may have triggered the dog’s natural instinct to protect its pack, its turf and itself. You can help prevent bite injuries by securely confining your dog behind a locked fence or door before your SDG&E meter reader or other service technician arrives. Look for your next meter-reading date on each SDG&E bill, and mark your calendar every month with a reminder to confine your dog on that day, so your meter reader has a safe path to your gas and electric meters. Whenever you have an appointment for SDG&E in-home services, such as appliance adjustments or safety checkups, secure your dog away from the work space.

We originate mortgage loans for new purchases and refinances of primary homes, vacation homes and investment properties. It’s been almost three years since SDAR formed the Ambassadors Foundation, a non-profit entity which manages the “Everyday Heroes” program. The “Everyday Heroes” program exists to help San Diego Police Officers become homeowners in the neighborhoods they serve and protect. Our communities directly benefit from police officers becoming vested in homeownership. To date, the Ambassadors Foundation had helped 6 officers become homeowners in the San Diego region. Many more have applied and are eligible for funding via the “Everyday Heroes” program. However, funding goes quickly and more is needed to help support additional officers. SDAR members can contribute directly to the Ambassadors Foundation via their dues or by contacting SDAR. You can also help out and have fun at the same time by supporting and attending our fundraising events. We have two upcoming events that are guaranteed fun!

CA DRE license # 01878270 May 2010 San Diego REALTOR The ® 11 L egislati v e B riefing Housing Market on the Mend? By Scott Molloy is emerging. Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist, said it is encouraging to see a broad home sales recovery in nearly every part of the country, with two important underlying trends. “Sales have been above yearago levels for nine straight months, and inventory has trended down from year-ago levels for 20 months running,” he said. The data continues to pour in and many REALTORS® are wondering: Is it getting better out there or is this just the calm before the (next) storm? Statistically speaking, the housing market does look to be stabilizing. Nationally, the median price for a resale home was up 0.4% from a year earlier to $170,700 in March, the second month of year-over-year increases since 2006. San Diego County’s median price rose the most out of the six Southern California counties, up 15.8% year over year to $330,000. Much of the recent improvement is being attributed to the Federal Homebuyer Tax Credit, which expired on April 30. “The home buyer tax credit has been a resounding success as these underlying trends point to a broad stabilization in home prices. This is preserving perhaps $1 trillion in largely middle class housing wealth that may have been wiped out without the housing stimulus measure,” Yun said. Sales are improving too, beating expectations and rising sharply off the floor of March 2009. Nationally, March 2010 saw sales of existing single-family homes and condominiums come in at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.35 million homes. This is roughly 340,000 more homes than the February 2010 annual rate and 16% higher than the March 2009 level of 4.61 million homes. New home sales also rose, surging 27% month of month to 411,000 homes in March. New home construction is a good barometer of economic health and may portend that economic recovery with sustained job growth The long-term outlook for the housing market remains murky, however. Total housing inventory at the end of March rose 1.5% to 3.58 million existing homes available for sale, which represents an 8-month supply at the current sales pace, down from an 8.5-month supply in February. In much of the country, the number of foreclosures is not abating; it’s rising. As of March 2010, banks had an inventory of about 1.1 million foreclosed homes, up 20% from a year earlier, according to estimates from Lender Processing Services (LPS) Applied Analytics. An additional 4.8 million mortgage holders were at least 60 days behind on their payments or in the foreclosure process, an increase of 30% from a year earlier. At current sales rates of foreclosed homes over the past few months, that real and shadow inventory would take 103 months, almost nine years, to sell. The country’s economic condition—unemployment and reduced income for many of the nation’s households—is now driving the foreclosure problem. Unfortunately, homeowners with good credit who took out conventional, fixed-rate loans are the fastest growing group of foreclosures. In San Diego, while there are still many foreclosures, short sales are dominating much of the market. Also, the shadow inventory is not so alarming locally when you consider that the demand for properties in San Diego is high, especially with only a few months of inventory. assist with the loan modification process. The Federal Making Home Affordable loan modification program is expected to help upward of 7 million households avoid foreclosure. If successful, this could take a big chunk out of that “shadow” inventory. The economy is showing signs of healing. The nation saw real job growth in March of 162,000 jobs, which is good news for an economy that has been brutalized with a net loss of 8.2 million jobs since the start of 2008. Manufacturing is also picking up. Industrial production increased at an annual rate of 7.8% in the first quarter of 2010, led by durable goods industries. First quarter revenue and earnings results for many of the nation’s big companies are coming in above expectations, another encouraging sign. The improving economy bodes well for the housing market and many economists believe it is a matter of time before sustained job growth takes hold. This should take a lot of that potential future foreclosure inventory off the table, laying the foundation for a sustained recovery in the housing market.

The nature of these media formats is informal, light and conversational. However, whether a blog or social networking site is being used by you for personal or business purposes, you are a professional and thus responsible for the content of any entry you create in such media. That content reflects on you as a REALTOR® and, in turn, on the brokerage firm. All entries should be thoughtfully considered just as you would any other communication you engage in as a professional. Whenever these entries relate to your business and/or the brokerage firm, they are subject to all of the laws and regulations that otherwise guide your behavior as a REALTOR®. For example; the Code of Ethics, Department of Real Estate (DRE) regulations, advertising laws, Multiple Listing Service/System (MLS) rules and defamation laws can all apply to such communications. Types of Social Media: Facebook / Twitter / Linked-In / Location-based services (i.e. Yelp and Foursquare) / May 2010 Blogging / Vlogging (streaming live / video blog / YouTube) Discussion Forum: ActiveRain Real Estate Network Best Practice Tips: 1. Use your same high standards when blogging or utilizing social media, just as you would in any other writing you generate for public consumption. The style can be informal, but the standards should not vary. 2. While blogs may have an informal style, remember that even in the “blogosphere” you are bound by laws, regulations as well as the Code of Ethics. Do not deviate from your high standards and best practices. 3. Never advertise another agent’s listing without the express written consent of the listing broker – not the listing agent. (Such decisions are appropriately made by the broker and your broker.) Some websites, blogs and online ads imply that the agent providing the content is the listing agent (e.g., “Call me for more information about this listing” when, in fact, it is not your listing). This practice could lead to an ethics complaint or MLS rules violation. 4. Routinely review your blogs and social media sites to make sure the information is accurate and up to date. 5. Regularly monitor and delete any inaccurate, derogatory, vulgar, offensive or obscene postings by others, if others are allowed to post on your site. 6. Do not engage in gossip and do not pass along unverified information. 7. “When in doubt, leave it out.” It is better not to publish an item than regret it later. 8. Before posting an entry in any social media, ask yourself, “Would I like to see this entry displayed as a six-foot-high exhibit on a courtroom wall?” or “Would I like the Real Estate Commissioner to view this entry as part of a DRE Administrative Hearing?” If not, don’t post it. materials of others, including music and video. 10. Confidentiality is to be carefully considered; discussions or posts involving buyers, sellers, property, neighborhood and community are to be cautiously evaluated prior to posting. 11. Use common sense and be careful out there! As we move forward with new and evermore creative methods of reaching out to our clients and sphere of influence, it is important that we do so with professionalism as our hallmark.
