LOCAL REALTOR® COMPLETES PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE COURSE
NICOLE JOHNSON OF M.CELATA REAL ESTATE has successfully completed the Loss Mitigation Certification Course (LMC) of the Massachusetts Association of Realtors® held recently at the Massachusetts Association of Realtors® Conference.
Due to the challenges facing many Realtors® today in representing a buyer or seller who is working in a transaction involving foreclosure, short sales, properties at auction or bank owned; this comprehensive one-day course was developed to educate Realtors® on all issues surrounding properties facing these complicated transactions.
The course is taught by national and local experts in loss mitigation and is designed to equip attendees with the tools needed to deal with short sales on both the buying and listing side; the process, ethics, laws, contracts and credit issues involved; and how to best approach lenders. Lastly, this course also addresses the human element of these transactions as consumers potentially face losing their homes.
Upon completion of the Loss Mitigation Certification Course, participants earn lifetime usage of the LMC logo and continuing education credits necessary for real estate license renewal.
About the
Massachusetts Association of Realtors®:
Organized in 1924, the Massachusetts Association of Realtors® is a professional trade organization with more than 22,500 members. The term Realtor® is registered as the exclusive designation of members of the National Association of Realtors® who subscribe to a strict code of ethics and enjoy continuing education programs.

A Consumers Guide to a successful Home Purchase11/2/2010
A consumers guide to a successful home purchase
?xml:namespace>
When purchasing a home for the first time it would be a good idea to team up with a local Realtor® to help procure a home for you and your family. He or she can pinpoint the areas you are interested in purchasing and with the benefit of a contractual agreement can protect your interests in this transaction too. The purchasing waterways should be navigated by an educated professional with your criteria as their guideline. The professional Realtor® is able to help you with first the financing of a home and once you are qualified by a lender it is time to help with securing a home that will fit your pocketbook as well as your needs.
?xml:namespace>
Choosing a home is a personal matter and you should feel comfortable with the professional you’ve chosen to assist in the process. The Realtor® should listen to the needs of you and your family and only show you homes with that criteria. Once you have found your dream home the process is just beginning. The Realtor® should be able to write up your offer and negotiate that offer for you, after the offer has been accepted by the Seller’s, you will need the assistance again of the Realtor® to find a home inspector and an attorney for the legal documents.
?xml:namespace>
The home buying process is riddled with dates that need to be met by the Buyers and the Buyers’ lender. The profession Realtor® is required to make sure all of the dates are in line with the purchase and sales agreement you have signed.
?xml:namespace>
In today’s tumultuous time for financing a home, it is a very good idea for a Buyer to take a first time home Buyers seminar. Several programs are available locally and when attended affords the Buyer not only with first hand information but also an insight on what financial programs are available, what income criteria is required, what assistance programs there are and what the differences are between them all. The first time Buyers seminars would also include speakers from local banks, local attorneys who specialize in real estate, home inspectors and local Realtors®. A great example would be the Mass Housing Program which have 100% financing available to first time home Buyers. These programs are presented in English and in Spanish.
?xml:namespace>
There are some programs which offer down payment and closing costs assistance. This program is offered through Chelsea Restoration Corporation for the cities of
Chelsea,
Revere,
Malden,
Medford,
Melrose,
Arlington and
Winthrop. Most cities and towns have redevelopment departments for information on financial assistance and lead paint removal.
?xml:namespace>
Buying a home can be tricky and should be researched with regards to who you employ to help in the process.
?xml:namespace>
Please contact my office if you are interested in purchasing a home and would like the assistance of a professional. My name is Maureen Celata, Owner/Broker of M. Celata Real Estate. I am located at 164C Broadway in
Revere and my number is 781/289-7500.

Short Sale or Foreclosure10/4/2010
This article is reprinted from The Revere Journal dated September 29, 2010 by Maureen Celata.
Short Sale or Foreclosure
A short sale is the sale of your home in which the lender or lenders agree to accept less than your mortgage balance. A foreclosure is when your lender takes the premises through a legal process.
In recent years, unprecedented job losses, market fluctuations and economic uncertainty have caused a spike in the number of home owners facing short sales or foreclosure. As more home owners have fallen behind on t heir mortages, many local markets have been flooded with distressed sale properties-short sales or actual foreclosures. Since a short sale generally cost the lender less than a foreclosure, it is more palatable for all parties concerned.
A short sale can be the best options for homeowners who are "upside down" on mortgages because a short sale may not hurt their credit history as much as a foreclosure. As a result, homeowners may qualify for another mortgage sooner once they get back on their feet financially. If your home is foreclosed upon your Fico score will be negatively inpacted by 200 to 400 points afterwards and generally will remain on your credit report as a public record for up to 10 years.
As a local Realtor® who has completed several short sales successfully, I like to make sure when I meet potential clients who are contemplating a short sale that they have a complete understanding of the short sale process. Every lender has their own set of rules on how they go about completing a short sale. When you are in a foreclosure situation you give your control to the bank that holds your mortgage and you abide by their time schedule.
If you are selling your primary residence as a short sale, The Mortgage Debt Relief Act of 2007 generally allows taxpayers to excluded income from the discharge of the debt. The debt reduced through mortgage restructuring, as well as mortgage debt forgiven in connection with a short sale or foreclosoure, qualifies for the relief granted. The Mortgage Debt Relief Act applies to debt forgiven in calendar years 2007 through 2012.
If you are contemplating a short sale it would be wise for you to interview a local Real Estate Agency (required by law) who is well versed in the short sale process. Many Realtors® are new to the short sale process, a difficulty which is compounded by many lenders' lack of sufficient and experienced staff to process short sales. Even if the Realtors® are experienced, most servicers are under-staffed and sitll not adequately trained, making negotiating a short sale particularly difficult. M. Celata Real Estate utilizes the services of a local Attorney to complete the tranaction for the Sellers with no out of pocket expense to them.
If you have questions which have not been addressed in this article you can reach me Maureen Celata at M. Celata Real Estate @781-289-7500

Real Estate economic watch 8/24/2010
Real Estate Economic Watch
Existing-home sales plunge 27.2 %. Inventory of unsold homes jumps to 11- year high
Washington (MarketWatch) - The sale of existing U.S. homes sank 27.2% in July, the biggest one-month drop ever - largely because of the phase-out of a federal tax credit, according to an industry trade group.
The National Association of Realtors said existing-home sales fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.83 million in July from 5.26 million the month before. Sales of single- family homes fell to the lowest rate in 15 years.
A year ealier, existing home sales totaled 5.14 million in July.
The plunge in home sales also magnified fears about the broader economy.
"The housing market is undermining the already faltering wider economic recovery." said Paul Dales, U.S. economist with Capital Economics. "With the increasingly inevitable double-dip in prices yet to come, things could yet get a lot worse."

Revere Journal Publication August 4, 2010 (reprint)8/6/2010
Brokers are an important part of the buying and renting process
Renting an apartment can be an adventure for tenants and landlords if a broker is left out of the loop, said local real estate broker.
There are many landlords and tenants who like the old fashioned way of hanging a 'For Rent' sign in the window and hashing out a living arrangement over a cup of coffee at the kitchen table.
That, however, can lead to a nightmare for either party.
"We do all the legwork," said Maureen Celata, of M. Celata Real Estate. "People will want to try and avoid paying the fee, but we do background checks that can help avoid bad situations. You don't want to get into a slumlord situation or - in today's market rent a place where the house is being sold out from under you. I've also heard horror stories about renters too. It's really, really important for a tenant or landlord to know who they're dealing with."
Celata has 14 years experience as a realtor and is on the board of directors for Eastern Middlesex Association of Realtors.

Renting is the rave8/4/2010
Homeownership, once on the rise in Revere, is trending downward.
Owning a home is like staking a claim, and over the past 10 years the trend has been for greater homeownership in Revere, but nowadays staking such a claim in the city is on the decline.
Revere has always been a community over the years where approximately half of the population rented their home, and approximately half of the population owned their home.
Perhaps it's because of the large number of two-family homes, or maybe it's just the fact that Revere is a gateway city - not as urban as Chelsea and not as suburban as Saugus. It has always been in between.
Statistics for homeownership, though, show that historically there have usually been slightly more renters in Revere than homeowners. That trend towards renting changed in the late 1990's when first-time homebuyers began hittng the market in large numbers and, later, in the 2000's when the housing market through its tremendous boom and everyone wanted to own property in Revere.
Now, however, those numbers are coming back to where they were before the boom - with more renters in the city than homeowners.
Statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau show that in 1990, some 49 percent of the city owned a home (8,531), while 51 percent rented (8,907).
That is contrasted with an area like Saugus where, historically, around 77 percent own and 22 percent rent; and also with a city like Chelsea where, typically, some 28 percent own and 72 percent rent.
By 2000, the Revere numbers were evening out. In fact it was a 50-50 split in the 2000 Census. The interim Cennsus of 2005 and the Census's Community Data Survey of 208 showed further change and a marked gain towards homownership in Revere.
The numbers had swung to having more owners than renters. Some 51 percent of the city's residents (10,395) owned their home and 48 percent (9,824) rented in 2008.
There are no official results as of yet as to what happened to the ratio after the housing and financial crises hit in late 2008. Those questions will be answered later this year when the 2010 Census rerleases its detailed numbers - numbers that will show current figures for how many own and how many rent.
Nevertheless, current real estate industry surveys seem to indicate that Revere has taken a bit of a dive - with 46 percent owning and 46 percent renting and numerous properties that lie vacnt.
Local Realtors and agents back up these figures with reports that their rental activity has increased substantially.
Maureen Celata, owner of M. Celata Real Estate on Broadway said that the rental business has picked up, and it's a logical turn of events. Celata and her agents sell homes and place rentals.
"These folks losing their home, they still need shelter," said Celata. "When you fiured how many foreclosures, short sale and walk-aways we've had, these people still need somewhere to live if they stay in the metroplitan area. They will either go with family, move out of the metro area or replace their home with a rental.
"The rents are high now and my inventories on rentals have never been so low," she continued. "I filled 20 units in July alone."
While her business has been the #1 rental agency in the area for quite some time, she said that the tough economy has pushed many realtor into the rental market also.
"I started rentals more than four years ago when I opened my office," she said. "Now, everybody is doing rentals because it's paying the bills. They never did rentals before."
She also said she wasn't surprised with the turning trend of more renters thatn homeowners. "you could probably go back 30 or even 40 years and I'm sure it would be the same thing, " she said. "Things in this industry work on a cycle of eight years up and eight years down. We're at the bottom of our apex now."

como agente de bienes raíces en la noche. El trabajar con niños le ha ayudado a Paul a desarrrollar más paciencia y disciplina. Estas destrezas son esenciales para ser un agente de bienes raíces, ya que comprar o vender una casa es un proceso muy personal y no debe ser una situación estresante para el comprador o el vendedor.
Si usted está buscando a un profesional con la paciencia y habilidad de escuchar sus necesidades, Paul es el Agente de Bienes Raíces para usted. ¡Además, Paul habla español!
