Financial Title - messy situation

Financial Title shuttered its doors yesterday morning. Unfortunately for some buyers and sellers, there were escrows that were pending to close that day and in the next few days. We are helping with one right now that funded yesterday - into a black hole may I add. The accounting department could not be reached by phone, so no word on whether the wire reached, was rejected, or what. The situation was also worsened by the fact that today is the last day of the month - typically an accounting nightmare for escrow companies normally - and bank commitment letters tend to expire at the end of the month too. Many of the families that planned to move in or out this weekend will have to scramble because these transactions will be in limbo for a few days - if they're lucky. It's a mess and I wish those families the best in this situation.

Financial Title Insurance Update

Any open escrows are being transferred to First American Title Company from the closed Financial Title offices. First American was underwriting the title insurance policies of Financial Title, so it seems like it will be a straight-forward process. First American is a strong financial institution with very good reserves. I am sure the insurance regulators will be looking far more closely at the other privately held insurance companies regarding their financial stability.

Financial Title Company Shut Down

It looks like the rumors were true about the financial stability of Financial Title, the flagship of Mercury Companies, Inc. title and escrow empire in California. While Mercury is a privately held company and not publicly traded - their financial stability did not need to be fully disclosed like a public company and hence the rumors only until today's curtain call.

Another Mercury title insurance company, Alliance Title shut their doors in December 2007. Alliance had approximately a 22% market share locally. Most escrows were folded into Financial Title offices. Recently Financial had approximately a 11-14% of market share in the last couple months. This relatively low figure undoubtedly due to a lack of confidence in the financial stability of the mother ship - Mercury.

When someone chooses an insurance carrier, you want to be able to know they will be there long term.

My pick for title services has been Chicago Title, a Fortune 500 public company with over $1.3 Billion in reserves, nationwide and in business for over 160 years. CT is under the huge umbrella of Fidelity National Financial.

Las Vegas Real Estate

After spending 5 days in Sin City attending the Mike Ferry Real Estate Superstar Retreat - I have the following thoughts about real estate in Las Vegas:
It's all about location - duh! - I got a great deal on a timeshare a half block off the strip - it was gorgeous, very comfortable and comparatively inexpensive - I'll never do that again! Why? because either I had to brave the 100+ degree heat to get anywhere or hop a taxi at $12 per ride. So did it make sense for me to save $20 per night and not stay in a mega casino? I think not.
Expanding on that thought - if you are going to buy in Vegas, buy on the strip itself or don't do it at all. The City Center development which will open in late 2009 will be the crown jewel (sorry Wynn) of the strip - now that is location, location, location.
Of course, the single family home market in Las Vegas is hurting badly - way too many homes bought for investment and too few available tenants. Also, sprawling developments in town and in the adjoining suburbs have flood the market with inventory. At some point, every glut of inventory will reap great deals - be patient though on this - it isn't time yet.
Last thought for today - stick with what you know - I know blackjack ( the book "21" was great - movie not so good - its in the video stores now ) I "learned" Pai Gow Poker this week - please kick me next time I want to expand my gambling horizons... Moral of the story - invest in what you know, many of us think we know Las Vegas (I'm talking to you Californians) and many of us really don't. It may be less exciting and more expensive to invest in your own towns and the results may be far more predictable and manageable.
Ok - final thought - the Red Piano concert by Elton John rocks!

Last minute short sale negotiations

Completely "under water" 2nd lien holders still hold much power in allowing or disallowing a short sale. Even on deals that have been approved by both lenders weeks ago, there are last minute negotiations that occur. In one recent example this week, the 2nd, who was to receive $2,000 as a nominal walk-away fee, negotiated the day before closing to receive $17,000 from the senior lien holder. As any good negotiating book will teach, the real negotiation happens when time is not in some one's favor. Try going to legal arbitration - nothing happens for 7 hours and 55 minutes, then everyone shakes hands at 7:59 - then goes to dinner to lament and or cheer. Moral of the story - short sales are a pain - and a good deal - and a pain...
