Modify My Loan Question:

Instead of getting a new mortgage we want to change the terms of our current loan. Is this possible? What are the pros and cons?

Answer:

You are talking about a mortgage modification.

It’s sometimes possible to modify a mortgage with the approval of the lender.

When you first got your mortgage, you went through the mortgage application process. The cost for an appraisal, title search, title insurance, a new closing and lots of state and local taxes is avoided with a modification because a new loan has not been originated. Instead, the mortgage now in place has simply been changed.

When I have modified a loan, the usual process

involves a phone call or two, some email and a formal written letter from the lender confirming the arrangement. What makes this attractive to a lender? Less risk. How do you create less risk?

You reduce the debt.

For instance, let’s say you have a $200,000 mortgage balance. You call the lender and ask to speak with whoever handles “curtailments.”

Your goal is to lower your monthly payments. You ask the lender how much of a balance reduction will be required to achieve such a goal. You might hear the lender say it will agree to a lower monthly payment if you pay down the debt by 10 percent, $20,000 in this example.

You have now gone from a $200,000 balance to $180,000. The interest rate will stay the same.

Because you owe less, the required monthly payment will fall. However, borrowers lucky enough to have curtailment cash can often do better.

With many mortgages – but not all – you may also be able to lower the mortgage balance to the point where monthly mortgage insurance payments are no longer required.

The usual rule with mortgage insurance is that

Q& A

ASK OUR BROKER

By Peter G. Miller

you can request an end to coverage once the debt is reduced to 80 percent of the original balance.

At 78 percent of the original balance, the lender must end the coverage requirement. Recent FHA mortgages are an exception. Most FHA mortgages originated after June 3, 2013 require the payment of a mortgage insurance premium for the life of the loan.

If you can cut both your mortgage balance and eliminate monthly mortgage insurance payments, you will see a significant reduction in monthly mortgage costs.

For more information contact your lender.

Ask if they will accept a curtailment and how much money they will require. If you are now paying mortgage insurance ask if coverage can end. Get answers in writing to assure no misunderstandings.

A Time to Sell T

hunt tend to be more motivated and eager, which means you’ll likely lure only more serious candidates.

“They say the early bird gets the worm.

This is a great time to list because there’s less competition from other sellers,” notes Bryne A. Durent, Realtor with Duval Homes Real Estate in Jacksonville, Florida.

Plus, the Federal Reserve has announced that it plans to continue to raise interest rates in 2019, which could lead to higher mortgage rates. Listing now before rates go any higher, which could dissuade some prospective buyers, is a good plan.

To increase your odds of selling sooner and commanding a higher sales price, try these tips: Choose the right

real estate agent and price your home right. “Make sure you interview multiple agents. Pick someone you like and can trust and who has great experience. This person will help you choose the correct listing price,” says John Myers, owner/ broker of Albuquerquebased Myers & Myers Real Estate, who adds that setting the right price, right from the start, will prevent your home from sitting on the market too long and turning off buyers.

Dive into decluttering mode.

Sort through your items and décor and remove/pack up anything that makes your home look unorganized or personalized (including family pictures, trinkets, books, etc.).

“Consider hiring a professional organizer,

who can help with this process,” Sandra Smith, a New York City-based real estate agent with R New York, suggests.

Freshen up your home’s look. Increase curb appeal by tidying up your landscaping and removing leaves, debris and outside clutter. Consult with your agent on appropriate new colors and give key rooms a fresh coat of paint. Stage each room carefully by positioning furniture and accessories in attractive ways, too, and be prepared to replace outdated furniture with new or rented pieces.

Avoid any unwanted surprises. “Consider having your home inspected prior to placing it on the market, which can prevent unexpected issues after you’ve accepted an offer on your home,” recommends Myers.

Accommodate buyer candidates.

“Allow every showing

the seller may request that are reasonable and backed up by the findings of a qualified inspector,” Graff notes.

“Also, you may get lowball offers from buyers, but be willing to negotiate, and don’t let emotions get in the way of getting a deal done.” Duren echoes that last point.

“Buyers will come in and pick your home apart, so expect to hear negative remarks about your beloved home, and don’t take it personally,” says Duren.

6 things to do before listing your home for sale in 2019

S: 1.5 in

he calendar has turned the page and you’re eager to fulfill your New Year’s resolution: to sell your home for the most money possible in 2019. But that begs the question: Will it be harder or easier to sell a home this year? And what steps will need to be taken to ensure a faster sale and higher sales price?

The good news is that now’s a great time to consider listing, say the experts.

“Listing inventory is still low throughout much of the country,” says J.W. Roeder, a Realtor with The Rob Ellerman Team at ReeceNichols in Kansas City.

“There’s an amount of uncertainty in the market right now, so homeowners may benefit from listing sooner rather than later while inventory remains low in the winter.”

While there may be fewer buyers searching for homes right now, those that are on the

possible. That sudden 5 o’clock request for a 6:30 p.m. showing can be a pain, but if it’s the right buyer the payoff is more than worth the small nuisance,” Roeder says.

Additionally, “plan on keeping things cleaner and neater than normal in case buyers want to tour your property at a moment’s notice,” says John Graff, CEO/broker at Ashby & Graff Real Estate in Los Angeles.

Expect the unexpected. “Be prepared to make or pay for repairs that
