Google Maps Street View

by Tom Stachler,ABR,CDPE - Group One Realty Team

Tips Using Google Mapping and Street View

Technology is great and mapping has come a long way with 3D and street view images.  I am now able to see the Home I am going to using street views on my GPS that uses Google Maps for instance.  (though I generally already have it on my listing sheet)

Anyway, sometimes folks don't want their house shown, or maybe their car was in the driveway showing their license plate etc.  Want your house, face or license plate blurred on Google Maps Street View? Google makes it easy to request blurring. Here’s how to make a request:

Let’s pretend you want to blur the white building above. You’d focus the street view on the appropriate image and then click ‘Report a problem’ in the lower right.

Upon clicking ‘Report a problem’, you’ll see the screen above. If you want the white building blurred, click ‘Privacy Concerns’ and you’ll advance to the next screen.

Now complete the form, fill out the CAPTCHA at the bottom of the page, and hit ‘Submit.’ According to its official documents, Google will review the request promptly.

HAMP Home Affordable Mortgage Program Info

by Tom Stachler,ABR,CDPE - Group One Realty Team

HAMP or Home Affordable Mortgage Program Information

For several years now we have been waiting for a government assist program that would allow homeowners who are upside down (owe more on home than the market value) on their mortgage to at Lease refinance to lower current rates.  Unfortunately, the banker lobbyists would not allow the administration to mandate this type of relief if the amount of the mortgage exceeded 110% of of the market value.  Frankly, they would make more money getting TARP contributions if they foreclosed, so not much incentive to take a long term rate hit.  

With the Occupy Wall Street movement, the coming elections etc, talk has gotten serious again about creating a program that would allow homeowners who do pay make timely payments to refi their higher rate mortgage.  Keep in touch with this governement web site To Get Information on HAMP or Home Affordable Mortgage Program for the latest developments.
