Probate Weekly

Probate Weekly I am at the Los Angeles County Probate Court almost every work day. I am an expert in the process of selling real estate at probate court.

I have witnessed more sales than any attorney, judge, or real estate agent in the past 2 years.

Over the past weeks, the residential real estate industry generated no shortage of headlines. Mortgage rates, listing portals, MLS disputes, lender activity, and housing affordability all made news. But beneath the daily headlines, a handful of larger trends are emerging that may have a greater impact on agents, brokers, consumers, and the structure of the industry than any single news story.
For Realtors looking beyond the next transaction and toward where the industry is heading, these are the four developments that matter most.

A Federal Reserve paper called Real Estate Commissions and Homebuying, authored by economists Borys Grochulski and Zhu Wang, has quietly become one of the most influential documents in the real estate industry's recent upheaval. It's been cited in NAR litigation coverage, referenced during the Burnett verdict fallout, and used by housing advocates and antitrust attorneys to argue that traditional commission structures harm consumers.

The "Federal Reserve" stamp gives it the feel of settled science. But before accepting its conclusions as fact, every real estate professional — and every consumer — should ask a simple question: does this study actually reflect how real estate works in the real world?

The answer is complicated. And important.

The battle royale between Zillow and competitor Redfin (now owned by Rocket) and the largest MLS organizations and Compass continues as all seek to carve out their space in the market. Everyone is concerned that the market is about to change dramatically and that forces players to choose sides and make decisions they otherwise might not.

Last week, after the large Chicago-land MLS MRED had removed Zillow from its listing feed the judge ordered the feed restored while the case was adjudicated.

Not all mortgage approvals are created equal! ��

A loan prequalification is only an estimate based on information a buyer provides verbally.

A true loan approval with a Desktop Underwriter (DU) means the buyer’s income, credit, assets, and debt have been reviewed through automated underwriting guidelines by the lender.

The strongest buyers usually have:
� Verified income & employment
� Reviewed bank statements & assets
� Strong credit/FICO scores
� Acceptable debt-to-income ratios
� DU approval findings from underwriting

In today’s competitive real estate market, a DU loan approval can make a huge difference when submitting an offer and gives sellers more confidence in the buyer’s ability to close escrow. �
