Top 5 real estate posts of the day 5/13/2009
1) The NAR’s social media grade should be “A” for appropriate – Bill Lubin takes a look at how the NAR and Todd Carpenter have handled the MLS/scraping issue. While I like Bill personally, I cannot say I agree with his piece here, although it is worth a read.
2) A contrarian view of the MIBOR anti-indexing issue – Notorious ROB takes a look at the side of agreeing with an anti-indexing of IDX results. I completely disagree with the e-mailers look at how it hurts the seller, buyer and agent and believe they missed some major points, but it too is worth a read.
3) Loan Officers: Are you bringing a knife to a gunfight? – Justin McHood looks at how Zillow Mortgage Marketplace and direct investor pricing can help you or your customer get the best mortgage rate.
4) Freddie Mac Video – Making homes affordable and avoiding foreclosure rescue scams – This Freddie Mac video (via Trulia) takes a quick look at how you can start the process of a loan modification if you have a Freddie Mac Mortgage.
5) Will HVCC create appraisal nightmares in the future? – Steve Belt takes a look at the appraisal process and how they could be becoming much more conservative.
