FROM WIRE REPORTS

WASHINGTON — The fi-nancial reform bill signedinto law by President BarackObama may look like a cor-nucopia of helpful changesfor homebuyers and loanapplicants — not the least ofwhich will be the creation ofa powerful ConsumerFinancial Protection Bureauto ride herd on the mortgagelending industry.

But how soon will any-one see hard, tangible re-sults of the law? When willthe bureau begin writingnew rules and crackingdown on problems andabuses in everything fromhome real-estate settle-ments to credit scores to“truth in lending” andequal credit opportunity?

At the moment, it lookslike it will be a while, even ifthe president nominates adirector for the consumerprotection bureau quicklyand the Senate confirmsher or him without partisanbloodletting or a filibuster.

Here’s a quick overviewof what to expect andwhen: The reform law itselfcontains deadlines for ac-tion, but they may not be asimmediate as some con-sumers would prefer. Trea-sury Secretary TimGeithner is carrying theball, and he has had a teamat work for weeks draftingthe basic structure of thenew consumer bureau,which will eventually behoused inside the FederalReserve.

Under the law, Geithnerhas a deadline of Sept. 19 todesignate a “transfer date”when key legal and regula-tory authorities shift fromsuch agencies as the Feder-

al Trade Commission, theDepartment of Housingand Urban Developmentand the Fed to the new con-sumer bureau. In effect,that will be the date the bu-reau, with initial fundingprojected at $500 million ayear, springs to life with astaff and full set of teeth.By law, it must be no earlierthan next Jan. 17 and no lat-er than Jan. 21, 2012.

At a White House brief-ing, Deputy Treasury Sec-retary Neal Wolin asked forunderstanding about thehuge task ahead of creatingan entirely new agency thatmust take over responsibil-ity for consumer protectionstatutes on the books fordecades.

“This will take sometime,” he said, “but it’sworth it.”

What sort of tangiblebenefits might begin toflow once the bureau takesofficial form? One of theearliest — and most widely

anticipated changes in thereal estate field — will in-volve appraisals on homes.The law requires the agen-cy to quickly come up withnew interim rules on ap-praisal accuracy and inde-pendence designed to re-place the controversial“Home Valuation Code ofConduct” rules imposed byFannie Mae and FreddieMac in 2009.

That alone should bringrelief to buyers, sellers,realty agents and builderswho have complainedabout inept, deal-breakingappraisals fostered by thecode. In a companionmove, the reform law alsosets standards for appraisalmanagement companiesthat function as third-party vendors for manylenders, and who have beencriticized for assigning val-uations to inexperiencedappraisers who are unfa-miliar with local conditionsand willing to work for low

fees.Another early tangible

benefit: A national hot linesystem that will allow ag-grieved mortgage borrow-ers and others to lodgecomplaints and alert thebureau to unfair anddeceptive practices.

The new agency will alsoassume control of a keyconsumer protection stat-ute known as RESPA — theReal Estate SettlementProcedures Act — thatseeks to prevent under-the-table kickbacks andpadded fees by lenders,title companies, realtyagents and builders.

RESPA governs thetransaction cost disclo-sures that millions of bor-rowers receive at applica-tion — the “good faith esti-mates” — as well as thestandard closing formknown as the HUD-1.Ken Harney’s e-mail address [email protected].

Quail Creek, after 50years, is its own center ofgravity — a residential an-chor of north OklahomaCity.

“Quail Creek” is ahousehold name far fromthe original square mile offormer pasture where de-veloper John W. “Jack”Johnston surprised every-one in 1960 by talking upgrand plans for the multi-million-dollar QuailCreek Golf & CountryClub and hundreds ofhomes.

The now 2-square-mileQuail Creek — bounded byPortland and May ave-nues, Hefner Road and theKilpatrick Turnpike — isconsidered a destinationneighborhood where asense of “community”has always been a presentreality, not a wistfulmemory.

But 50 years ago, peopleweren’t so sure aboutJohnston’s plans.

Innovations attract“When Quail Creek

first started, we thought itwas the end of the Earth.No stoplights. Dirt roads.People just shook theirheads,” said Mark Dale, abuilder who built QuailCreek homes on his ownand with his father, thelate Everett Dale.

Before long, though,with the 40,000-square-foot native stone and glassclubhouse taking shape,people were signing up fora share of Johnston’sdream.

By March 1961, twohouses were constructed— the first one by EverettDale, at the corner of RockHollow and Quail CreekRoad — and 460 of the600 club membershipsoriginally available hadbeen sold.

Quail Creek Golf & Country Clubis strutting its stuff at 50.

Membership has been on the re-bound the past seven years. Thereare 910 members on the rolls, up42.6 percent since 2003 — even asmany country clubs are stumbling.Growing membership and revenueshave allowed for numerous renova-tions lately.

One of the biggest improvementscame in the dining room, said clubPresident Mark Payne, who camefrom Nichols Hills to the QuailCreek neighborhood when his par-ents, Ralph and Doris Payne, movedin the 1970s.

Payne maintains his stake andmembership even though he nowlives in the Rose Creek neighbor-hood. His wife Teresa’s parents,

Frank and Nancy Tarpley, werecharter members of the club whenit formed in 1960.

“Having food, good food,” is im-portant, Payne said, and that wasaccomplished by bringing in exec-utive chef Johnny Houzvicka fromDallas.

Houzvicka “creates menus thatentice a diverse range of tastes fromgourmet items to lighter, health-conscious entrees to sandwichesand ‘kid-friendly’ items,” the clubboasts on its website.

Menus weren’t the only thingsimproved in club dining. The clubbrought in Tom Hoch Design, anOklahoma City-based design-build firm specializing in club, re-sort, hotel, restaurant and recre-ational spaces, to reorient thekitchen, staging area and diningroom with an eye to improved effi-ciency and increased revenue.

Revenue enhancement“Food and beverage expenses were

skyrocketing due to staffing require-ments, and revenue was falling shortof projected levels due to interiorspacing and flow issues,” Tom C.Hoch, president and creative director,said in a summary of the project.

Relocating and redesigning thekitchen and staging area reduced thedistance to the dining room and ban-quet hall, which “eliminated the needfor ‘runners’ and doubling up on stafffor events and peak dining periods,”said Hoch, who also improved the din-ing room with custom-built, semicir-cle elevated booths, wood panelingand modern art and lighting.

The work cost about $500,000,with 35 members agreeing to prepaytheir dues for two years to help fund it,said Bob Philbrick, general manager.

The low-slung QuailCreek Golf & CountryClub clubhouse, designedby the architecture firmHoward Samis & Davies,was deemed as one of the100 most architecturallysignificant structures inthe state in 2007 by theOklahoma City Founda-tion for Architecture andthe American Institute ofArchitects Central Okla-homa Chapter.

The design used more

than 2,000 tons of creamybeige, natural limestonecalled silverdale stone,quarried in Kansas, andlarge expanses of glassmeant to welcome the out-doors in.

The architecture, whichwas probably consideredsomewhat futuristic in theearly 1960s, is fitting for2010.

course.People were talking about the util-

ities, of all things; most of the elec-tric lines were underground.

The Oklahoma City Times report-ed on the project, which the year be-fore was just a “rumored housing de-velopment” in an unlikely place:“Quail Creek: A Big Dream is FastBecoming Reality.”

“It just caught on,” Dale said, de-spite “the bar (being set) a littlehigher.”

Sustainable popularityLots were larger than most are to-

day, ranging from just less than ½acre to 2⁄3 acre. The minimum homesize was 2,000 square feet — at atime when the U.S. average was farless.

The average size by 1973, the firstyear for which statistics are avail-able, was only 1,660 square feet.

The country club was attractingyounger families turned away by thelong waiting list for membership inOklahoma City Golf & CountryClub, whose rolls were full.

Quail Creek had much going for itfrom the start, but Johnston’s ap-proach to development made itspopularity sustainable, said his son-in-law, developer Mark Gautreaux,developer of Fairway Farms and apartner with Mark Dale in The Abbeyaddition.

“When you stand back and look atit, it’s an uncommonly large devel-opment,” Gautreaux said, notingthat Johnston managed to line up ad-jacent parcels of land and put dealstogether as needed, in a way thatprobably would be impossible now.“He tied the entire 2 square miles upwonderfully.”

Johnston also kept Quail Creek’s

40-odd phases “doable” — doingthem one at a time in a series ofsmallish splashes rather than one bigsplash.

“You always had that new sectioncoming on,” Gautreaux said.

‘Iconic neighborhood’Quail Creek is fit at 50, although

the May 16 hailstorm is still keepingroofing-repair companies hoppingin the area.

The hailstorm caused widespreaddamage in the neighborhood.

The storm and the extremely rarerobbery of a high-profile couple inlate April — former Gov. George Nighand his wife, Donna, in their owndriveway — prompted Georgie Ras-co, executive director of Neighbor-hood Alliance Inc., to write a letter ofencouragement to the Quail CreekHomeowners Association.

“For decades, you have been aniconic neighborhood, one wherepeople aspire to live, not only be-cause of the beautiful and well-built

homes, but because of the socialconnections that the neighborhoodencourages among its neighbors.You have truly created a ‘communi-ty’ inside of your neighborhood,”Rasco wrote in the letter, posted onthe association website, www.quailcreek.org.

Rasco wrote that Quail Creek’shomeowners association — eventhough it’s voluntary — is the largestof more than 400 associations in themetro area and that the jumbo-sizeaddition has one of the lowest crimerates.

“You are truly doing things rightin Quail Creek, and we encourageyou to keep it up. ... NeighborhoodAlliance often uses you as an exam-ple when other neighborhoods askhow to beef up their safety factor,” hewrote.

“We applaud your community ef-forts and recognize you as a leader inbuilding safe, beautiful and socialneighborhoods in the OKC areas.”

The result? “QuailCreek saved considerablelabor costs through spac-ing, planning and redesignof its food and beverage fa-cilities and operations.The new dining space andinviting, stimulating at-mosphere added to thefood and beverage top line,bolstering sales by 21 per-cent,” Hoch said.

Other renovationsOther recent renova-

tions at Quail Creek in-clude work on outdoor andindoor tennis courts, thedriving range and golfpractice facility, sports bar,outdoor patio and fitnesscenter. The club got a newentrance and landscapingwith a water feature and anew swimming pool with awater slide.

The work even includeda new maintenance facilityto replace an original, 50-year-old wooden barn thatCarl Spackler would havebeen comfortable callinghome. (Spackler was thegopher-obsessed, var-mint-exploding assistantgroundskeeper played byBill Murray in the 1980 golfclub comedy “Caddy-shack.”)

Of all the improve-ments, Payne said the onethat excites him most hasless to do with the club-house and more to do withthe future of the clubmembership: The averageage of the membership hasbeen reduced from nearretirement to the prime-of-life early 50s.

“That’s the most thrill-ing,” he said. “There arelots of little kids out herenow.”

Palermo favors informal livingWICHITA, Kan. — A second, potentially more lucrative

residential real estate scam with international roots hassurfaced in Wichita and Kansas.

A foreign buyer claiming interest in the cash purchase ofan expensive residential listing has been contacting sever-al real estate agents, according to the National Associationof Realtors and Kansas Association of Realtors.

In fact, what the supposed buyer wants to do is defraudthe agents and their attorneys out of thousands of dollars,the associations say. In one Wichita case, the bogus buyertried to bilk a broker and attorney out of $141,000.

Murray Anderson, an agent with J.P Weigand & Sons,said his story began in mid-May with “a pretty standardinquiry e-mail about a million-dollar house.” Andersonsaid he forwarded a copy of the listing, and quickly re-ceived a letter in broken English from Japan in return.

To quote from the e-mail, provided by Anderson: “I willlike home inspection to be done on the property.” In addi-tion, the letter asked Anderson to retain an attorney tohandle the financial transaction.

“Let me know how much you send, and I’ll contact myfinancier,” Anderson said. “I backtracked on the namethrough Google and found him up in Canada.”

So Anderson and his broker, Weigand residential gener-al manager Gary Walker, met and agreed to proceed care-fully. “I told Gary I thought there was about a 2 percentchance this was real, and he agreed,” Anderson said. “But Ifollowed through, not wanting to ignore a potential buyer.”

In fact, it wasn’t real. Anderson said he and a Wichitaattorney, Dave Dahl, contacted the bogus buyer, asking for$9,000 to cover costs. What they received was a cashier’scheck on a bank in Canada for $150,000 via first-classmail, probably bogus, Anderson said.

“I immediately went on Google, put in the name of theguy in Japan, the bank in Canada’s name, put the word‘scam’ behind it and sure enough I read 18 stories fromother Realtors who had received exactly the same letter,”Anderson said. So he and Dahl pulled the plug on the deal.

“Their mode of operation is to send a huge cashier’scheck that isn’t real,” Anderson said. “They ask you to de-posit it and notify them as soon as it’s deposited. Thescam, then, is to come right back and call the lawyer or thetitle company where you deposited the check and tell youthey need to cancel the contract. And, of course, theywant you to refund the difference.”

The difference, in this case, was $141,000 — not subtleenough, Anderson said.

DEAR BARRY: Whenwe bought our home, noone disclosed the defectiveflat roof over our livingroom, not even our homeinspector. The rainy seasonbegan weeks after wemoved in, and we’ve beenfighting leaks since. Afterthree years of patching, wereplaced the bad roof. But itseems unfair that weshould be stuck with thisexpense. Do we have anyrecourse against the in-spector or the sellers fornot disclosing this defect?

HenryDEAR HENRY: There

are two issues that reducethe strength of your claim:You waited three years tolodge a complaint for non-disclosure, and you haveremoved all evidence thatthere was a defective roof.

When homebuyers dis-cover defects after the closeof escrow, home inspec-tors, sellers and agentsshould be notified immedi-ately, and reinspection ofdisputed conditions shouldbe scheduled as soon aspossible. Some home in-spectors specify this as aliability requirement intheir contracts, and manycontracts require reinspec-tion before making repairs.

When the leaks first be-came known, one questionwas paramount: Were theroof defects visibly appar-ent during the inspection?Reinspection at that timemight have provided a clearanswer. In some cases, aflat roof that leaks will ap-pear to be in perfect condi-tion. In those cases, a homeinspector would not be lia-ble unless there were unre-ported ceiling stains.

For the sellers, the ques-tion would have beenwhether leaking occurredbefore selling the property.

Ceiling stains might haveanswered that question,too, but three years of sub-sequent leakage have ob-scured any clear answers.

Time and circumstanceshave eliminated any basisfor pursuing this claim. Atthis late date, the new roofshould be regarded ashome-buying experience.Next time you buy a home,be sure to find a highlyqualified home inspector,and don’t wait to reportundisclosed defects.

DEAR BARRY: Thehome we are buying isabout 25 years old and has

the original tile roof. Thereis evidence of leakage overthe master bedroom, andour home inspector sayssome of the tiles are dam-aged. How long can we ex-pect a tile roof to last?

VernDEAR VERN: Clay tiles

and concrete tiles are typ-ically rated as 50-yearroofs. In actuality, they canbe expected to last morethan a lifetime. The clay

tiles on the CaliforniaSpanish missions are morethan 200 years old and stillshed water.

If your home inspectorfound some damaged tiles,this is not unusual. Mosttile roofs are in need ofmaintenance repairs. Sometiles may be cracked orbroken because someonecarelessly walked on thesurface.

If the inspection report

was not specific about thedamage, you should askyour home inspector forparticular details, and youshould ask the sellers tohave the tiles repaired by alicensed roofing contrac-tor. If the seller is unwillingto pay for repairs, get yourown bid from a licensedroofer.To write to Barry Stone, go to www.housedetective.com.

Q. I bought a condo inYardley, Pa., in 2008. I put20 percent down on a pur-chase price of $245,000.My fiance and I would liketo sell the condo and buy asingle-family home. Myhouse has been on the mar-ket for 40 days. I listed it for$260,000. I upgraded thekitchen, put in hardwoodfloors and painted the en-tire place.

I have had little luck. Thepros of selling now are thatI could buy a much cheaperplace in this market andthat mortgage rates are low.My fiance is a contractor,so we are looking for a fix-er-upper. He can help meout with the mortgage too.The cons are that my homeis my only equity, and I amnot sure how low I can af-ford to go with the askingprice of my home.

I’m not in a hurry to sellbut would probably need towithin the next two years.Is it best to sell or stay?

A. My advice is to waitthe two years. I tend to viewthe housing market using along-term approach. Butevents of the past severalyears are unprecedented,and so I am cautious.

Looking at the 20-citycomposite S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. National HomePrice Index, the housingmarket was on a tear from2000 to 2006, then headeddown at the same rate untilabout the middle of 2008.Prices started back up butdipped again. They seem tohave started up again in thepast month or so. Califor-nia housing prices are lead-ing the latest increase.

Sellers usually list their

houses at more than theyexpect to sell it for, as youprobably did. Number ofdays on the market, or howlong it takes to sell thehouse, is a thermometer forthe market. Long periodson the market reflect a“cold” market. The indexdoesn’t include Philadel-phia, unfortunately.

Robert Shiller from Yale(who started the Case-Shiller Index years ago) juststarted a monthly “homeexpectations survey” thatasks a hundred top U.S.housing analysts to forecastprices five years out. The“experts” include manyrecognizable notables.They generally say thehousing market will bounceback next year, on the trackit was on before 2000.

REAL ESTATE Q&A

WASHINGTON — Loan of-ficers at banks will be re-quired to provide theirnames and fingerprints toa national database as partof an effort to crack downon shady operators whofed the real estate bubble.

The new requirementswere mandated by a billpassed by Congress twoyears ago. Federal bankregulators have now ap-proved them.

The rules apply to em-ployees of banks regulatedon the federal and statelevels. Mortgage brokersalready were required to belicensed by the system.

The registry is expectedto start accepting new ap-plications by the end ofJanuary. Once registra-tions start, banks will have180 days to comply.

During the housingmarket’s boom years,mortgage brokers had

weak regulations that var-ied by states. Unsavorycharacters were able tojump from state to statewithout being detected.

Those regulations werebeefed up in recent yearsby states and the federalgovernment in the wake ofthe housing bust. Brokersand loan officers need topass a national test, a statetest and a criminal back-ground check.

The licensing systemcreates a database thatbanking regulators can useto track mortgage brokersor lenders who try to workin one state after beingbanned in another. Thereis also a database availableto consumers at www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

All 50 states are expect-ed to be participating byyear-end, said Bill Mat-thews, an official at theConference of State Bank-ing Supervisors that over-sees the mortgage registry.

But nowadays, due totheir own financial chal-lenges, fewer parents havethe wherewithal to assisttheir children to buy a firsthome. Still, the yearningfor homeownership re-mains strong among manyin their late 20s and early30s, said Berard, a real es-tate broker and charterpresident of the NationalAssociation of ExclusiveBuyer Agents (www.naeba.org).

In many areas, homesare significantly more af-fordable than they werebefore the economicdownturn. Still, the bar-riers to entry can seemmonumental to cash-strapped purchasers.

“Many mortgage lend-ers are now stringent intheir down payment re-quirements. And lots ofyoung people have troublesaving, particularly ifthey’re carrying a lot ofstudent loans and creditcard debt,” Berard said.

He urges those who areserious about buying a firsthome to craft a strategicplan to cut their debt, re-duce expenses and beginsaving in earnest.

Here are pointers forpotential homebuyers whoneed to take control oftheir money:

› Do an inventory ofyour financial situation.

A major obstacle to sav-ing for a house is uncon-trolled day-to-day spend-ing, Berard said. But beforeyou can decide how to re-allocate your income, herecommends you review

where your money hasgone, category by catego-ry, over a recent three-month period. This can bedone either with pen andpaper or personal financesoftware.

Doing this preliminaryinventory can be time-consuming, as you siftthrough your credit cardand checking accountstatements. In fact, theprocess could take the bet-ter part of a weekend orpossibly even two. But Be-rard said it’s well worth thetime.

› Craft a spendingplan that lets you savefor your homebuyinggoal.

Once you know whereyour money is going, it’stime to create a budgetthat lets you meet youressential needs while stillamassing savings for yourdown payment, said EricTyson, a personal financeexpert and author of“Mind Over Money: YourPath to Wealth andHappiness.”

He encourages you toclosely evaluate every seg-ment of your spending insearch of any possiblereductions.

For example, don’t ac-cept the rent on yourapartment as a given, es-pecially if you live in a lux-ury complex with ameni-ties you rarely use, such asa swimming pool. Whenyour lease is up, perhapsyou could move to a moremodest building to cutyour rental costs.

› Get your debt issuesunder control.

In many cases, educa-tional loans are nearly un-avoidable, particularly forthose who attend graduateor professional school. Buteven after their schoolingis complete, many youngpeople continue to accu-mulate credit card debt —and at interest rates muchhigher than their studentloans.

“You need to be very ag-gressive about getting yourdebt under control. At theminimum, you shouldmake no new purchases onyour credit cards untilyou’ve saved enough foryour down payment,” Ty-son said.

To be sure, paying downcredit card debt can re-quire severe self-sacrifice.But obviously, you’ll find itmuch easier to amass your

down payment whenyou’re no longer jugglingcredit card payments atdouble-digit rates.

› Don’t be dissuadedfrom your homebuyingplans by friends.

Given that the economyis still facing problems,conventional wisdom hasit that this is a poor time tobuy a home. Consumerconfidence is sagging, and

significantly.“When you look back

over past periods whenconsumer confidence waslow, you’ll see that manypeople got terrific deals onreal estate then. Contrar-ians can do very well,” Ty-son said.

your friends may questionyour plan to save moneyfor a home purchase in thenear future.

But Tyson said thatthose who are persuadedby friends to postpone ahome purchase might oneday regret that they wait-ed, particularly after realestate markets havestrengthened and homeprices have rebounded

Q: Our long, narrow livingroom has windows on bothsides with a fireplace on theend wall. I’m having troublearranging the furniture. I don’twant it to look like a bus sta-tion with all the seats linedup, marching down the sides.In another column, you gavesome suggestions on arrang-ing furniture when there’s awall to back it up. What aboutmy problem?

A: Designer Deborah Lipnerillustrates a creative solution inthe calm and cool picturedliving room. Its anatomy issimilar to your room’s setup:longer than it is wide, withwindows on both sides. (Therewas a good reason for thatwhen the home was built inhot, sultry Charleston, S.C.,around the time of the CivilWar — the opposing windowsassured cooling cross breezes).

In these air-conditionedtimes, the homeowners weremore concerned about how toarrange their furniture in com-fortable conversational group-ings. Lipner (of Deborah T.

Lipner Ltd.) came to the rescue.She simply positioned every-thing on the diagonal.

“If the furniture had been alllined up, the room would havelooked flat,” she explained. Bysettling the sofa and cocktail

table on the diagonal, thenplaying off that angle for therest of the arrangement, theroom became more interestingand cozier, Lipner points out.

The diamond-patterned rugand the armchairs in the second

seating area — in front of thefireplace — also add to the newangled idea that the designerwas pursuing.

With its gray-green walls,uncurtained windows and nat-ural linen upholstery, the roomis exactly what Lipner’s clientswanted: a subtle blend of con-temporary and traditional,jazzed up just a bit by a zebra-skin rug and a fresh new way ofplaying all the angles.

Q: My husband and I arearguing about what to dowith the guest closet in thefront hall. We live where it’salways warm, so nobody everneeds to hang up a coat. Iwant to turn it into a displayplace for my shells, but whatabout the door?

A: Take it off. Or replace itwith a mostly glass door soeveryone can enjoy your collec-tion. It would be a smart way torecycle that unneeded space.Think about adding glassshelves and lighting, too.

Q: Can we put ceramic tilein the kitchen area of ourgreat room if it opens to therest of the floor, which is cov-

ered in hardwood? I’m wor-ried that wood won’t stand upin a kitchen, or I’d just use itall the way through.

A: Stop worrying and startreading up on today’s hardwoodfloors. Like so many otherhome furnishings products,wood now comes pretreated, soit’s practically impervious toeverything from pets’ nails todropped pizza.

One exception: standingwater. You still can’t leave pud-dles on hardwood for long oryou risk water damage, no mat-ter how high-tech the surfacetreatment. But if you wipe upspills and splashes with reason-able alacrity, your hardwoodfloor will go on looking goodthrough years and years of traf-fic. Then, unlike other surfacingmaterials, you can always haveit refinished and start all overagain.

Wood may be one of ouroldest building materials, butit’s also the ultimate recyclable.

LOS ANGELES — FannieMae is taking aim at home-owners who are able to paytheir mortgage but decideit’s not worth it, planningto go after them in courtand to limit their access tohome loans for seven years.

The government-con-trolled mortgage giant saidit would instruct the com-panies servicing its loans torecommend when itshould pursue a deficiencyjudgment: a court order re-quiring a defaulting bor-rower to pay any remainingunpaid portion of the loanafter a seized home is sold.

Lenders rarely use courtproceedings to pursueforeclosures in California,nearly always opting in-stead for a streamlinedprocedure involving atrustee’s sale of the home.Under state law, lenderswho opt for court proceed-ings can obtain a deficien-cy judgment if the mort-gage was used to refinancea home but not if it wasused to finance a purchase.

Fannie Mae also said itwould make new mortgag-es harder to obtain for bor-rowers if it can be provedthey engaged in a “strate-gic default” — abandoninga home to foreclosure notbecause the required pay-ments are unaffordable butbecause the mortgage islarger than the value of theresidence. For such a bor-rower, Fannie Mae said itwould not buy or guaranteeanother home loan for sev-en years.

Borrowers who workedin good faith with theirloan servicers to try to stayin their homes would bebarred from Fannie Maeloans for only two or threeyears, even if they eventu-ally lost their homes afterattempts at loan modifica-tions failed.

The ban on getting a newFannie Mae loan is signif-icant because homebuyershave little choice thesedays for financing exceptfor mortgages bought orbacked by Fannie Mae, itssister company FreddieMac or the Federal Hous-ing Administration. Thethree government-run en-tities financed 95 percentof new U.S. home loanslast year.

Freddie Mac, whichblacklists strategic defaul-ters for five years, said itwould study Fannie Mae’schanges and “consider ad-ditional changes to our po-lices as needed to respon-sibly manage risks.”

Borrowers who defaulton FHA loans for any rea-son currently can’t get an-other loan insured by theagency for three years.Legislation pending inCongress would impose alifetime ban on FHA loansto borrowers determined tohave made a strategic de-fault.

Fannie Maegets tough on‘walk-aways’BY MCCLATCHY TRIBUNEINFORMATION SERVICES


It’s an all-too-commonsituation. You find a per-fect home for sale in an ide-al neighborhood. It’s beenbeautifully remodeled, andit has everything you’vebeen searching for. Eventhe price is right.

Something tells you itmight be too good to betrue, but you put in an offeranyway, and it’s accepted.You start doing all the pa-perwork, and sure enoughyou discover the catch thatyou always somehow sus-pected was there.

The sellers did all of thatremodeling work withoutany building permits.

You’re in a dilemma. Youreally want this house. Thesellers insist that all thework was done by licensedcontractors and that theyhave full documentationand photographs of all thework as it was being done.

The sellers also tell you

that they’re willing to allowany type of inspection onthe home that you’d like —except for one by the city.They explain that they hada bad experience with abuilding inspector on aprevious home, or thatthey have an ongoing feudwith the city over their wa-ter bill, or they’re protest-ing the fact that the cityhasn’t fixed the pothole onMain Street yet, or someother reason that they re-fuse to become involvedwith the local municipality.

Through all this, you stillwant the house. Red flagsare waving, but you’re try-

ing to ignore them. The re-modeling really does looklike it was done well, andyou can certainly under-stand why the sellers wouldbe protesting that big pot-hole, rather than trying tocover up bad workmanshipon their own remodeling.

Perhaps you decide to goone step further and pay forinspections on the home,hoping someone will tellyou that all is well, despitethe lack of permits. Youmay even think that you canwrite some provisions intoyour sales contract that willoffer some future protec-tion for yourself. Unfortu-nately, it’s probably time towalk away from this “too-good-to-be-true deal.”

Hard realitiesIf the sellers are telling

the truth about the workhaving been done by “li-censed contractors,” then

they should be willing toprovide you with a list ofthose names, so that’s oneof the first things youshould ask for. It’s doubt-ful you’ll get it, because inmost states those contrac-tors are risking fines andeven the loss of their li-censes for doing remodel-ing work without a permit.

If the sellers are “opento any type of inspection,”ask if they’re willing tohave all the walls openedup at their expense so yourelectrician and your plum-ber can thoroughly inspectthe condition of the wiringand the pipes inside all ofthe concealed spaces. Thisis what the city buildinginspectors that they wereso anxious to avoid wouldhave done. And this iswhat you, as the buyer,now have no access to.That’s one of the big prob-lems here: If you decide to

buy this house, you haveno idea what’s hiding in-side those walls.

If, at a later date, youhave a fire or a water lossthat’s related to some de-fect that’s been hiddensomewhere by the seller orone of his contractors aspart of this unpermittedwork, your insurancecompany could deny all orpart of your claim as a re-sult. Can you even imaginehaving a loss in your homethat runs into the tens oreven the hundreds ofthousands of dollars, andthen finding out it’s notcovered because the previ-ous owner didn’t like citybuilding inspectors?

Still can’t live withoutthat particular house?Then here’s what you needto do to protect yourself:

› The sellers need toprovide all necessarybuilding permits for the

remodeling work.› If they can’t do that,

then they need to pay for alicensed structural engi-neer, a licensed electri-cian, a licensed plumberand any other necessaryprofessionals to inspectthe work and issue lettersstating that the structuremeets or exceeds all cur-rent building codes. Usingthose letters, the sellersthen need to contact thecity building officials andobtain whatever the equiv-alent would be to a com-pleted building permit.

› Once you have thatpaperwork, show it to yourattorney and your home-owners insurance compa-ny to be certain it’s suffi-cient protection. Be surethat a copy of it is recordedwith the escrow company.
