THE REWARDS OF “DOING YOU”
Posted by Ana Gramling | Currently 4 Comments »
I have always called myself “the lucky girl”…
I was born on 8-28-58 (yes, I’m getting OLD) and, in most Asian countries, the number 8 is considered lucky…I believe this is true!!!
From a very early age, I learned that my purpose in life was to help others. So, it’s not unusual that today I am a Realtor® helping my clients to buy and sell real estate.
But, what TRULY brings me the most joy is my personal commitment to giving back to our community and to serve others during their time of need. If you hear me say “I’ve got your back” know that I MEAN IT!!! Loretta Lynn once said about her life, “I just want to matter”. This statement has become my personal mantra.
Two weeks ago, I was interviewed as a candidate for San Diego Magazine’s Woman Of The Year for their publication on women who change the city. I am humbled, and extremely excited to share with you that I am a finalist for this prestigious award!!! This award recognizes “dynamic women who work to create positive change and contributions to the San Diego community”. What I can tell you, is that the list of women who are likewise being considered have contributed to our city in ways that will make you SMILE…CRY…AND STAND UP AND APPLAUD THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS!!!
So…you’re probably asking yourself…”What has Ana done to garnish such accolades???”
Anyone who knows me will tell you that every Monday morning I am one of thousands of volunteers who deliver meals to homebound Seniors on behalf of Meals On Wheels. I can’t think of a better way to start my week!!! I LOVE MY SENIORS and I can honestly say they are all my friends! One of my Seniors, Josie who is 83 years “young”, is a founding member of the “Madres” organization. The Madres are affiliated with the San Diego Padres, whose mission is to sponsor underprivileged youth to play baseball and softball in San Diego County. Through Josie’s sponsorship, I too am now a proud member of the Madres.
I am also the President of the homeowner’s association for the downtown condo community that my husband and I live in. I spend approximately 20+ volunteer hours per week on behalf of our homeowners association and can proudly say I have made a positive difference to our community. If you are ever in downtown San Diego, I welcome you to call me as I would love to take you on a tour of our building!!! Who knows, you just might like it enough to have me represent you in a purchase of a downtown condo!!!
In addition, I mentor several real estate agents as I am pleased to have the good fortune to have had some success in my real estate career as a resale agent…especially in short sale listings. I can boast that I have a 100% success rate in all my short sale listings…something I am EXTREMELY PROUD OF!!!

Countywide Mortgage Update – Home Buyers and Sellers: Two Important Events That Will Affect You Very Soon
Posted by Paul Gonzales | Leave A Comment »
If you are planning to either purchase or sell a property this year, there are two scheduled events coming up rapidly that may have a significant impact on you:
Higher Interest Rates?
On July 1st the Federal Reserve will complete its $600 Billion dollar purchases of US Treasury Bonds. Many analysts believe that with the Fed pulling out of the Treasury market, demand for such bonds will lessen, causing interest rates including mortgages to rise.
More Expensive Loans?
On October 1st the current conforming “jumbo” loan limit in San Diego County is scheduled to be reduced from $697,500 to $625,500 (or lower). For home buyers looking to purchase a home in the approximate price range of $500,000 to $900,000, this will push them into the limited, “true” jumbo loan category. Such jumbo rates and prices are significantly higher than current conforming rates.
What This Means
While no one knows what, if anything, the Federal government may do about these two scheduled events, the impacts are quite clear:
- For home buyers higher rates will mean higher payments and reduced buying power. For those buyers in the $500-$900,000 price range these effects will be magnified by the lack of conforming jumbo loans resulting in even higher rates and costs to obtain financing.
- For home sellers these two events will reduce the number of available buyers, especially in the price range noted above.
** THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR ** The next several months may prove to be the absolute best time this year (and beyond) to buy or sell that home. Contact your Real Living Lifestyles real estate agent today, get the facts and get moving now!

Yes – You May Still Deduct Mortgage Insurance (PMI) – For Now
Posted by Paul Gonzales | Leave A Comment »
Although Congress passed this law back in 2007 and extended it through this year (2011), this remains a common question for owners of real estate. Mortgage insurance is typically a monthly expense that occurs when a property is purchased with less than 20% down payment or refinanced with less than 20% equity.
Homeowners who itemize their income tax deductions on the Federal Schedule A tax form can claim the PMI by entering it on line 13, in the section entitled “Interest You Paid”. You should find this figure on the form 1098 mailed to you by your lender at the beginning of each new year. The deduction may be taken for coverage issued by the Federal Housing Administrations (FHA), Veterans Administration and the USDA Rural Housing Service as well as private insurers.
There are, of course, limitations and restrictions. For example, the PMI deduction is allowed provided you took out the mortgage on or after January 1, 2007. The total amount you may deduct may be limited or reduced based on your income and how you file (for example, married filing jointly vs. married filing separate returns). Above those maximum income limits the percentage of PMI you may deduct is reduced for every $1,000 that your income exceeds your particular limit. The current law allows this deduction through the end of this year.

Nothing discussed above should be construed as tax advice. Heed the caveat and always seek advice from a tax professional.
