Bruce Norris is joined this week by past President and current Chairman of the Board for the National Auctioneers Association and co-founder of Williams and Williams Auctions, Tommy Williams.
Bruce starts the interview by asking what auction companies miss out on when they aren’t members of the National Auctioneers Association. Tommy says non members miss out of networking, best practices, and education which furthers their professional endeavors. April 18th is national auction day and Tommy would like auctioneers to make communities aware of the benefit that auctions bring to the community. Auctions have the huge benefit of establishing market value on a certain day for numerous products and assets. They also might highlight their charity work in the community through charity auctions. Tommy feels the media picks up too much negative information about auctions and doesn’t highlight all the positives.

Bruce says he read that auctions raise as much money for charities that is sold in real estate and Tommy says that is true. Tommy says auctioneers bring a very important piece of expertise to nonprofit organizations.
Bruce asks if Realtors view auctions as competitors or partners and Tommy thinks too many see auctions as competitors. Tommy says there is fear that auctions establish market value and sometimes people don’t want to really know that actual value. The real estate community wants to not take the hit. Bruce says he’s baulked at final bids before and most times he paid for not selling at that time. Tommy says all of us have been in that situation. Usually, the public will tell the truth and auctions are the best barometer for prices and it will also tell you where price trends are going.
Bruce asks if women are getting more involved in auctions. Tommy says this is a growing trend as it used to be a male dominated field. Tommy says 20-30% of classes for auctions are now women.
Bruce asks about legislative issues that are affecting auctions in general. Tommy says that when legislation postpones the sale of assets it usually means there will be net price deterioration. Real estate is very fragile and unattended and vacant homes tend to lose value.
Bruce says Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac postponed auctions for their properties but in April have started back up. Doing this moratorium cost them money. Tommy says their unwillingness to accept market value has cost them millions. The more they postpone, the worse it will get.
Bruce says he read the auction magazine that in the last few years $270 billion worth of assets were sold. Tommy says this is not a record but getting close. There’s been steady growth in the total dollar sold at auction. 2008 saw prices for assets decline so volume went up but prices were down due to devaluation. So in volume, 2007 and 2008 were record setting years.
Bruce talks about trustee sales and how the lack of advertising doesn’t help the cause. Bruce asks if the National Auctioneers Association has any intent to try and get involved in the trustee sale process. Tommy says that was one of his main goals as President was to do away with the traditional foreclosure process. If the home was sold at the trustee sale to an end user it would save the mortgage holder at least $15,000 in transaction fees. This is not including price declines. This would be of huge benefit to the mortgage industry as a new loan with a new end user would immediately take the property.
Bruce talks about current laws and issues of cities hiring people solely to write fines to homes that are considered blight and that are violating codes. Tommy worries that these types of laws only makes lenders not excited to loan which further exacerbates the lending policies we currently face. No one will want to lend in these areas.
Bruce asks Tommy if he’s nervous about a shift in the American perspective. Tommy says he is concerned that capitalism and private enterprise is something that Americans are now wondering if they should be in favor of. Bruce says he’s concerned as well for some of the things that he’s seen and hopes we can solve some of these issues soon. At “I Survived Real Estate 2008” several solutions were presented but none have been implemented. Bruce things banks could save themselves so much time and money by doing so.
Tommy talks about his pre-foreclosure auction concept. Some Realtors are doing something very similar without approval. Tommy says they’ve implemented something very similar in their company and they’ve tried it out with consumers. As soon as a consumer was falling behind, Williams and Williams worked with the consumer to present the property to the public as well as possible. The final offer was presented to the lender. However, the loan servicer is typically the decision maker and is far removed from the actual decision maker. The goal needs to be lenders getting rid of this stuff as soon as possible to get things moving. This particular solutions gets a new person in the home right away.

Bruce talks about reading several years back that the Baby Boom generation was worth trillions and in great position to retire. David says the Baby Boomers have a fair amount of wealth and every generation typical has grown in wealth over the years. Baby Boomers, however, have been recently hit by the stock market and housing bubble that has caused some great losses.

*******************************************************************************************************
In a recent report written by David and his team on this very issue, it says the Baby Boom situation looks much bleaker than 8 months ago. Bruce asks how they are coping with this fact. David says the Baby Boom generation has been witnessing the trend for two years. Last summer the savings rate started to increase and consumption has really slowed. The full effects of this contraction in spending and consumption has yet to fully hit the market. David says he’d like to see the government continue the money stimulus and look into subsidizing shorter work weeks, vacation, and sick leave.
Bruce asks if the wealth members of the Baby Boom generation would be harder hit by stock prices and the poorer be more affected by the real estate declines. David says the wealthiest are indeed more likely to own stock but are also more likely to be home owners. The bottom 1/5 of households could get completely wiped out with foreclosure.
Bruce asks David how he feels about recent solutions presented by the government such as the cramdown. David says he’s not so concerned but would like to see the homes go back to the bank and perhaps the individuals getting to stay in their homes and pay market rent. David says the bank doesn’t want to try to take it over and sell the property in this market. By keeping the homeowner in the home, it’s a win-win situation. Bruce brings up that the prices are very skewed in California. David says the bank just needs to decide how they want to take the loss. By not making this mandatory the banks would not participate as they are being a stubborn. Bruce asks how the lenders would react if this was made mandatory. How much would then be available for lending? David says there will always be solid prospects and that it wouldn’t really matter.
Bruce asks David about people stating their income and if they should be held responsible for that. David says that lenders were more responsible for that as he understands it. When real estate was headed up, it didn’t matter and no one cared. This is an example of an unsustainable home bubble that people refused to acknowledge.
David created a housing cost calculator which compares owning vs. renting the same home. Bruce asks if the price to own is much more than renting. David says historically it hasn’t been that different. David says when it went way out of whack that it was almost guaranteed that there would be loss.
Bruce asks if bubbles ultimately benefit people. David says bubbles that are uncontrolled is a problem. Bruce says many were refinancing and spending the money. There must have been a short-term streak of wealth. David says people thought they were very wealthy and savings rates went way down.
Bruce asks if there should be some acceptance of risk when any investment is made. David says experts gave people a lot of bad advice and since there was a lack of an alternative voice, it wasn’t very fair. People were told that real estate was the way to wealth. Bruce asks if people should absorb that risk or if there is a backstop to save them. David says Social Security and defined benefit plans act as that backstop. Personal savings is only one alternative. David explains the difference between defined benefit plans versus defined contribution plan. Bruce says that guarantees of payout were as good as investments made. David says the bubble market really hurt these potential retirement funds. When things get so out of line, people make bad planning decision.
Bruce asks if defined benefit plans for cities like Vallejo that just declared bankruptcy will ever see that money. David says in California he’s not sure who is getting what. Bruce says that defined benefit programs typically have a projected return rate and almost all have seen losses. David says that those promises will most likely not be able to be upheld because of the economy.
Bruce asks David is he is afraid for seniors as they retire. The Baby Boomers encompasses the 45-64 age range. The older baby boomers are about to retire so there’s a little more concern there. The younger Baby Boomers have a little more time to get back on track. Overall, they aren’t looking good so far. He says the lower 1/5 could be completely wiped out because of foreclosure.
Bruce asks if we should be worried about the Social Security Program since the baby Boomers will have less population paying for benefits as they retire. He says it’s nothing urgent but today the health care costs are getting worse and are more of an issue as Medicare and Medicaid need to be helped. David says socialized medicine might be a possibility since it’s worked in other countries. We have the best medicine but the worst delivery system.
In David’s report entitled “The Wealth of the Baby Boom Cohorts After the Collapse of the Housing Bubble,” David says the net worth of Baby Boomers that owned a home was less than those that were renters in 2009 which is surprising. David says wealth isn’t just in equity and the housing and stock bubble real caused a problem.

Bruce asks Joseph why he’s teaching appraisal courses in foreign countries. Joseph says numerous foreign countries are asking for the education so they can find out how to write an appraisal that could be understood globally. This will allow them to participate in the global mortgage market.

*******************************************************************************************************
Joseph says the ultimate goal of an appraisal is to assign a value of an asset in the now. An acceptable margin of error for an appraisal is 3% but no more than 5%. The definition of market value is a buyer and seller under no undue stimulus coming to an agreement on a price to be paid for an asset. Joseph talks about REOs and short sales and how they should not be factored in to appraisals as they are liquidation prices.
Bruce beings up this appraisal issue which investors are having to deal with when they purchase these types of homes and then repaire them in California. Joseph says the banks should not consider REOs and short sales market value because of the repairs being done and the risk the investor takes in this market. Bruce asks if the new buyer of a fixed home is setting the new market value. Joseph says in the open market, it should but the appraisal might be different because of all glut of REO comps. Often times, appraisers are not being fair and many properties are being undervalued which is a problem.
Bruce brings up the typical scenario of The Norris Group when dealing with appraisals in the current California real estate market. TNG purchases the distressed, “as is” property from auction or from an REO agent and spends time and money upgrading the property. If TNG gets multiple offers, why isn’t it considered market value?
Joseph says competent appraisers will say that that does create market value. Submitting those back up offers could really help force the appraisers make that market adjustment.
Bruce asks if there is no similar inventory, what should investors do? Joseph says hire someone with specific experience with an MAI or SRA designation. Bruce talks about an area in Moreno Valley and the glut of vacant REO and “as is” inventory. When TNG fixes something, the appraiser is typically not getting cooperation because there is no similar substitutions in the market. We’re the only fixed up property.
Bruce talks about the appraisal business in 2004-2005 and how they were feeling pressure to get to a certain high number for refinances. Bruce asks if there is now the opposite pressure from banks wanting to loan less thinking the value will continue to decline.
Joseph says lenders can make loans in a declining market at today’s value and shouldn’t feel like there’s excessive risk if there are the three C’s: collateral, capacity to pay, and credit rating. Joseph says he heard that appraisers were using foreclosure and short sales and these DO NOT make market value so are inappropriate. Liquidation value is a better term for these types of inventory.
Bruce brings up review appraisals and how the original appraisers are worried about coming in too high for fear of being blacklisted from doing work for a certain account if the numbers are adjusted. Bruce asks about the review appraisal process and what authority they have to adjust prices the way they do. Joseph says these review appraisals have to come up with their own opinion but to arbitrarily adjust a number up or down 10% without just cause would be a violation. Many times these reviewers are not following the same license laws the appraisers are required to follow. Appraisers could ask for the review appraiser to send to them the review but most probably won’t. They are entitled to a copy of the review appraisal.
Bruce asks if the review appraiser goes out into the field. Joseph says they often do the review behind a desk using AVM. This is not the same and is just an estimate. Joseph says many lenders might be looking for quick and cheap. Joseph says the lending institution or review company they pay does the review appraisal which is also causing a problem.
Bruce asks how difficult it is for appraisers to work in a market with such wide swings in price, sometimes monthly. Joseph says he doesn’t know how they work in states like California. He says only the best people should be doing these appraisals. People need to use a professional appraisers and not AVMs or BPOs.
Bruce asks if there are new rules for appraisals coming down the pike. Joseph say the Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC) says any new loans that are purchased has to have an appraisal and any existing can be less than that. A borrower is also required to get a copy of the appraisal. Joseph said the use of management companies is causing a problem because they are keeping part of the fees that should go to the appraisers so they may be spending less time doing a proper job.
Joseph says an appraisal is typically good for six months but in this market, it’s not as relevant. Bruce asks about improvements on homes above and beyond like pools and upgraded hardscaping. In an inactive market, it’s very difficult to assign a value to these extras. An appraisal will have to try and find similar comps. In this type of market, it is possible for these extras to result in little extra value.
Bruce asks about “standard 3.” Joseph says they are 10 sets of rules that govern the appraisal industry. For more information, visit appraisalinstitute.org.

Thank you 7 Steps to a 720 Credit Score and Philip Tirone for becoming Gold Sponsors for I Survived Real Estate 2008!
More information on 7 Steps to a 720 Credit Score: http://www.7stepsto720.com/
The 7 STEPS TO A 720® CREDIT SCORE program was created when mortgage broker Philip X. Tirone noticed that good people with good intentions were consistently turned down for home loans. Those who did qualify often paid unnecessarily high interest rates. On a $300,000 home loan, a person with a poor credit score could pay as much as $212,040 extra over the course of 30 years.
This is simply unacceptable. 7 STEPS TO A 720 CREDIT SCORE exposes the rules of the credit game, allowing countless Americans to increase their credit scores and save hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars in interest payments. 7 STEPS TO A 720 CREDIT SCORE is a credit-improvement strategy based on patterns of change identified by studying tens of thousands of credit reports. Available to the public, the system is also used by real estate agents, mortgage brokers, investment advisors, and accountants across the nation to help borrowers save money, qualify for the best loans, and reduce interest payments.
About Philip Tirone
An expert in residential home financing, Philip X. Tirone has a unique background in difficult-to-obtain loans, having started his career working with borrowers with stated incomes and/or poor credit scores. With this foundation, he became a specialist in the credit-scoring process, authoring the book, 7 STEPS TO A 720® CREDIT SCORE, as well as the bestselling workbook, APPLYING THE 7 STEPS TO A 720® CREDIT SCORE.
Philip is the founder of the Mortgage Equity Group (the MEG) and specializes in educating borrowers and helping them increase their credit scores so they qualify for the best loan programs available. The MEG is a non-traditional mortgage company composed primarily of team members committed to providing each homebuyer with specialized time and services unique to his or her needs, complementing traditional mortgage services with innovative programs aimed at reducing mortgage payments and maximizing buying power.
Philip has an uncanny ability to develop innovative strategies to simplify the mortgage process. As a frequent guest lecturer at the University of California Los Angeles, Philip has authored and delivered numerous speeches about avoiding the "Mortgage Lifestyle Dilemma," a phrase he coined to describe an emotional buying decision that results in overextension and a life that revolves around high mortgage payments.
Philip and his programs have been featured in the Los Angeles Times, New York Times.com, Wall Street Journal, Newsday, Woman?s World Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, Bottom Line Magazine, and Bankrate.com, among others. He was recently featured in the New York Times bestseller, Secrets of the Young & Successful. In 2008, he will be featured in Dan Sullivan?s forthcoming book, Industry Transformers, which identifies eight individuals who are having a profound impact on their industry by creating meaningful ways for their clients to bypass the bureaucracy and the red tape most consumers face.
Named Arizona State University?s Man of the Year in 1994, Philip currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Lily, daughter, Ava, and son Dominic.
