Celebrate The History Of Rodeo Drive At Rodeo De Los Caballos

Because of our company name we have a strong affection for Rodeo Drive and the history it represents. As part of the Beverly Hills Centennial celebration, there will be a special gathering commemorating the street’s significance. Before there was Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive, there was Rodeo de las Aguas. To celebrate the street’s beginnings as a bridle path there will be an equestrian parade, the Gathering of the Horses, held on Sunday, October 13, 11:00 am on the 300 and 400 blocks of Rodeo Drive, between Santa Monica and Dayton Way.

The parade features the Wells Fargo Wagon and equestrian groups that have appeared in Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee, the Beijing Olympics and the Tournament of Roses Parade with special appearances by Ballet Folklorico Mexico Azteca and the Beverly Hills High School Marching Band.

How to Get Pre-Approved/Pre-Qualified For A Home Loan/Mortgage!

A Pre-approval is a letter from a lender saying that a borrower qualifies for a certain loan amount, based on review of the borrower's income and credit history. Pre-approval letters are generally valid for 2-3 months.

There are many important reasons to get pre-approved:

• To Find Out How Much You Can Afford - If you are getting a loan, it is important to get an accurate idea of how much you can afford. You might be able to afford more or less than you think, and you don't want to waste your time looking at homes outside of your price range.
• A pre-approval letter makes your offer much stronger when you finally find your dream home. Sellers do not want to take their home off the market and waste their time if they do not know that you will most likely be able to get a loan. Without a pre-approval, your offer will not be taken as seriously.
• You can contact any lender or local bank/credit union in order to get pre-approved/pre-qualified within a day or so.

Documents you'll typically need to provide to get a pre-approval:

• Your W2 from the past 2 years
• Your paystubs from the past 3 months
• Your tax returns from the past 2 years
• Your checking or savings bank statements from the past 3 months (proof of down payment funds)
• Your statements for all assets (stocks, bonds, retirement accounts) from the last 2 months
• The name and phone number of your landlord (if you are are a renter) or your current mortgage documents if you already own a home
• Your divorcee decree, if applicable
• If you are self-employed: Your business tax returns from the past 2 years, in addition to your year-to-date profit and loss statement, and year-to-date balance sheet
  

The lender will also need to pull your credit report/score for you and any co-borrowers. They will look in your credit report for red flags such as missed payments and high overall debt. Generally, a score over 720 will get you the most competitive mortgage interest rates. 

If you don't get pre-approved, there are a few things you can usually do to help:

Correcting errors on your credit report and/or raising your credit score

Decreasing your overall debt and improving your debt-to-income ratio

Increasing your down payment amount

Feel free to contact me directly at (310) 717-1312 or JamieTian@RodeoRE.com if you have any questions about the home buying process, or if you need me to recommend a few lenders to you.

The Importance Of Social Video In Real Estate - YouTube, Instagram, Twitter/Vine

Social media users have been buzzing over the recent introduction of Instagram video. The new addition to the popular photo-sharing network allows people to record 15 seconds of video and share it through their existing Instagram account. You can also add a choice of 13 filters built specifically for video, as well as select a favorite scene to choose as the cover image when sharing video.

The new service is a direct response to Twitter’s Vine app, a program that debuted in January 2013 and records six seconds of video that can be shared socially and play in a loop. The number of links to Vine videos fell dramatically after the new video feature was launched on Instagram.

Both of these services show the importance of video as a method of communication online. Although both services have received a strong response, they pale in comparison to the power of YouTube. Statistics from YouTube show that they receive more than 1 billion unique visitors each month and over 6 billion hours of videos are watched (50% more than last year).

Video is an important part of selling real estate, bringing the pictures to life and sharing that experience on YouTube is one of the things that makes Rodeo Realty properties stand out among the rest.

Our dedicated property websites and our videos on YouTube give potential buyers a chance to see the property in a shareable and immersive experience before they ever walk through the door of a home.

Please feel free to contact me at (310) 717-1321 or JamieTian@RodeoRE.com with any concerns regarding the home selling process. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have or provide a free professional estimate/comparative market analysis of your property value.
