Silver Lake Los Angeles|Munson-Montejano Realty

Silver Lake ResivoirSilver Lake Los Angeles is one of my favorite Los Angeles Neighborhoods. I love it’s hip, trendy and culturally diverse energy and its wide variety of shopping, culinary and social experiences.

Some of my personal favorite dining spots include: “Cliff's Edge”, “Gindergrass”, “Silver Lake Wine”, “Madame Matisse”(for breakfast), “Dusty's”, “The Desert Rose” in Los Feliz, “Masa” in Echo Park for great deserts & Chicago style pizza and of course “Two Boots” for their great Louisiana style pizza.

And let’s forget the eclectic night life scene and all of the neighborhood coffee houses such as Intelligentsia for coffee.

Silver Lake ResivoirPart of Silver Lakes charm is its somewhat windy and hilly streets and of course its namesake reservoir, Silver Lake Reservoir which is composed of two basins, with the lower named Silver Lake and the upper named Ivanhoe. The lower body of water was named in 1906 for Water Board Commissioner Herman Silver, and in turn lends its name to the neighborhood. The upper body received its name after the 1819 Sir Walter Scott novel Ivanhoe (source Wikipedia)

As someone who is passionate about architecture, I really appreciate the variety of home types including craftsman, Spanish style and contemporary homes and buildings you will see throughout the Silver Lake-Echo Park and adjacent neighborhoods.

Silver Lake adjacent neighborhoods include: Atwater Village, Echo Park , Mount Washington, Glassell Park, Eagle Rock andLos Feliz.

Short sales-Frequently Asked Questions-Munson Montejano-

Foreclosure help written on dollar

Short sales-Frequently Asked Questions-Munson Montejano-

What is a Short Sale? A Short Sale is the sale of a home when the net proceeds do not fully pay off the existing mortgage loan(s) and the Lender is willing to accept a discounted payoff. Why would my lender accept less than what is owed on my mortgage? Lenders are in business to lend money, not to own real estate. They do not want the expense of the foreclosure process and/or the holding and maintaining of the property if it does not sell at foreclosure. The foreclosure process is very expensive and time consuming, so many lenders will agree to what seems a loss on the mortgage when they will actually save money by not completing the foreclosure and holding the property in their portfolio.

If I do a Short Sale, how much will I have to pay to sell my home? In most cases, you will not pay any sales costs if your Lender approves the Short Sale. All commissions, title and escrow fees, and some repair expenses are paid by the Lender, Investor or Mortgage Insurance company, if applicable, as part of the Short Sale approval.


Will my short sale be confidential? We do not market the property as a short sale. We must however note in the MLS in the private agent remarks; this is a short sale.

Can I simply deed my property to someone else and avoid the hassle? Deeding your property to someone without paying off the mortgage loan does not forgive you of the debt, and the property is still encumbered by a lien. Always check with your attorney to verify all the options available to you.

What sort of hardship would my lender consider legitimate? To some extent, that will depend upon the Lender considering your Short Sale request. Below you will find a list of common “hardships” that may be accepted by Mortgage Servicers:

  • Family illness or injury
  • Job relocation
  • Job loss or significant income loss
  • Divorce or split of domestic partners
  • Death of a spouse
  • Adjustment in mortgage payment or unforeseen increase in living expenses
  • Too much debt
  • Military service

I am current on my mortgage, so will my Lender consider a Short Sale? Many lenders now will consider a Short Sale offer on mortgage loans that are not delinquent. Other lenders will not consider a Short Sale offer until the loan is delinquent. We will work with you to put your Short Sale offer together and submit it for approval (remember, there is no charge for this). That is the best way to determine if your Lender will accept a Short Sale offer on a loan that is current.

Do lenders approve all Short Sales? No. That is why it is critical to work with someone, that has extensive experience at getting Short Sales approved and has direct contact with Mortgage Servicers

I have a second mortgage on my property, so can I still do a Short Sale? Yes. We can also work with the Mortgage Servicer or lender that holds the second mortgage, (many times the same Mortgage Servicer holds the 1st and the 2nd loans) to put together a Short Sale transaction. It is very important however, that you let us know if you have a second mortgage, home equity line of credit (HELOC), or any type of lien against your property such as a Home Owners Association lien, tax lien or mechanics lien.

My property is in rough shape and needs work; can I still do a Short Sale? Absolutely, Lenders often take into consideration repair costs, as a factor, when determining whether to approve a Home Short Sale offer.

I am concerned about my credit, so how will a Short Sale affect my credit? The goal is to avoid foreclosure. Consult your attorney to verify how this may affect your credit.

Can I receive cash from a Short Sale? No, short sales are only designed to get you out of your mortgage debt rather than going through the entire foreclosure process. It is not a refinance option and you will be vacating the property, as you would, if you were going through foreclosure. What if my home is not worth what I purchased it for? This is the typical scenario for a short sale, when you can only sale it for less than it is currently worth.


What if I have filed bankruptcy? You will need to check with your Bankruptcy Attorney to verify if you can proceed with a Short Sale.

Sold!-Munson Montejano Real Estate

Sold!-Munson Montejano Real Estate-"Stephen and his partner Luis helped us buy our first home! They made the process simple and enjoyable from the beginning. They are extremely prompt with returning calls, emails, and texts, and worked around our hectic/sporadic schedules...usually scheduling our showings with less than 24 hour's notice without any complaint. When we eventually put in an offer, Stephen made the process super-simple, gave great advice, and won rave reviews from the listing agent. The offer he put together for us beat out a few competing offers, and he was able to get us closed in just three weeks from the date we put in our offer. This included getting our inspection and appraisal contingencies lifting in the very tight time frame imposed by the seller. They were with us at each step from the first houses that we saw to the moment we got the keys to our new home. There is no question that we will turn to Stephen and Luis if we ever decide to sell this house, and I have already recommended them to a couple of friends who are house hunting now."
