Buyers Glossary

Below is an overview of the types of closing costs you may incur on your loan. Some are one-time fees (non-recurring closing costs or NRCCs) while others recur over the life of the loan. When you apply for your loan, you will receive a good faith estimate of settlement charges and a booklet explaining these costs in detail.
Loan Origination Fee
This fee covers the lender’s administrative costs in processing the loan. It is a one-time fee and is generally expressed as a percentage of the loan amount.
Loan Discount
Often called “points”, a loan discount is a one-time charge used to adjust the yield on the loan to what market conditions demand. One point is equal to 1% of the loan amount.
Appraisal Fee
This is a one-time fee that pays for an “appraisal”, a statement of property value required on most loans. The appraisal is made by an independent fee appraiser.
Credit Report Fee
This one-time fee covers the cost of the credit report which is processed by an independent credit reporting agency.
Title and Escrow Fees
In addition to your title and escrow fees, there are two title policies – a buyer’s title policy (that protects the new homeowner) and a lender’s title policy (that protects the lender against loss due to a defect in the title). These are both one-time fees (non-recurring).
Miscellaneous Title Charges
The title company may charge fees for a title search, title examination, document preparation, notary fees, recording fees and a settlement of closing fee. These are all one-time charges.
Document Preparation Fee
There may be a separate, one-time fee that covers preparation of the final legal papers, including the note and deed of trust.
Prepaid Interest
Depending on the day of the month you loan closes, this charge may vary from a full month’s interest to just a few days’ interest. If your loan closes at the beginning of the month, you will probably have to pay the maximum amount. If your loan closes near the end of the month, you will only have to pay a few days’ interest.
Taxes & Hazard Insurance
Based on the month you close, property taxes will be prorated between you and the seller. You will also need to pay an entire year’s hazard insurance premium up-front (homeowner’s insurance). In addition, you may be required to put a certain amount for taxes and insurance into a special reserve account (impound account) held by the lender.

Montclair Neighborhood

Montclair

Montclair is such an escape from the regular world, with its rustic village setting up in the woods above Highway 13, that you might think you are living in the Sierras or near the banks of Lake Tahoe. But, you are only minutes from the urban excitement of Oakland and San Francisco.

What is now Montclair was once a logging community. In fact, Thornill Road, the neighborhood’s main street taking you up to the hilltops, was once a major logging channel. Because of its mountainous feel, Montclair is reminiscent of an old European village out of a fairy tale. Just look at the firehouse, designed by Julia Morgan to look like a storybook house, with faux snow on its rooftop. This “Hansel and Gretel” style of home can be found throughout the district, along with more modern and eclectic architecture.

Montclair is centered around the Montclair shopping district, which sits mostly along Mountain Boulevard just above Highway 13. There are many mom-and-pop stores and services here, like Montclair Village Hardware (since 1948), Raimondi’s Paint (since 1954). Ken Betts auto repair (circa 1970s) and Le Bonbon Chocolates (since 1977). Plus the restaurants in Montclair will take you around the world, from the US (Crogan’s) to Mexico (El Agavero) to India (Flavors) to Japan (Toshi Sushi) and the best of Europe (Montclair Bistro).

Given the neighborhood’s strong sense of community, it is no surprise that there are many events to enjoy. There is a farmer’s market each Sunday and arts festivals throughout the year. The big event is the annual Montclair Wine and Jazz Festival each September. There are also many parks to enjoy and the nearby Chabot Space and Science Center, a local observatory and science education center for over 125 years!

While it may sound far, Montclair is actually quite convenient to the Rockridge BART station and many highways, plus AC Transit line 689 will whisk you almost anywhere. And, Walkscore.com calls Montclair Village “Very Walkable” But, with so much to offer, your Montclair Village home may also be your mountain vacation getaway!

Offered @ $1,500,000

New Listing: Stunning Romantic Mediterranean Revival Amazingly Preserved in Perfect Period Condition

This is a rare opportunity to own an amazing Storybook Mediterranean Revival Home in the Heart of Rockridge. There are very few homes in the area offering so much period architecture and all in nearly perfect condition. The exterior architecture tells you it is special. The front courtyard confirms it. The bubbling fountain is the focal point leading you to the wood & wrought iron front door. Once inside, you'll be stunned by the entry way with its soaring ceiling, tiled floors and sweeping stairways. The Mayan calendar inlaid in the tiled floor is truly unique.

The living room and its details are equally dramatic. There are wide planked and plugged oak floors, soaring vaulted ceiling with hand hewn beams and wood work, the fireplace set in the corner, unique windows and recessed bookshelves, original light fixtures and metal curtain rods. Of course, there is room for a grand piano and still plenty of space for all the furnishings. The patio door opens to the front courtyard for easy access while entertaining.

The formal dining room has a sunny view of the entry courtyard and patio doors, too, completing the circle of access. Hand-hewn beams complement the living room and have original hand stenciling. Pass thru the cozy breakfast nook on your way to the kitchen. This kitchen is understated and is a very beautiful marriage of old and new; new appliances, new soap stone countertops w/built-in dish drainer and sink. The cabinets are old school and very beautiful with cool features; slide-out storage in the panty and the very unique built-in step stools so everyone can reach the top of the upper cabinets. There is easy access to the backyard, too. There is a cozy bedroom and bath with period tile still in place. The final kicker is the Grand Family Room. This is always the space missing from other homes in the area built in the 20s. We love the homes, but where do we hang-out? Well, with a room big enough for a real party, a fireplace and separate access to the yard, you could not ask for a more modern feature in a historic home.

As you ascend the stairway to the 2nd floor, you can appreciate the antique light fixture, the intricate ceiling detailing and metal work of the railings and windows. There is room to display your favorite art on the walls. The stairway makes a stop at the bedroom floor, but also takes you to the upper balcony. It's an intimate space, but how pleasing to look upon! The bedrooms and bathrooms offer a myriad of configurations. Two large bedrooms share the master bathroom making your choice of a room to sleep in difficult. The front bedroom has 2 closets and 2 balconies while the back bedroom overlooks the backyard, has a big walk-in closet and a cozy enclosed back porch, perfect for reading or penning your thoughts. The 3rd bedroom is sunny and bright with a changing room and private bathroom. Two things we need to discuss here: bathrooms and storage – the bathrooms defy my descriptive powers (and believe me I describe a lot of bathrooms,) and there are 8 big closets in addition to the spacious closets that grace each of the bedrooms. How modern is this? No tiny 1920's closets in the whole house!

Okay the back yard and other such nice things. The backyard is very special. It is fenced and has a nice grassy place to play, a beautiful brick fireplace and BBQ. There is a patio to enjoy a summer day while the kids can race up and down the gated driveway. There is still more storage in the potting shed and a real 2 car garage completes the picture. Of course, the sewer has been done recently and the termite is next to nothing. Proving that all the past owners have not just lived here, but loved and cherished living here - You can be next!

New Listing: Historic Storefront Refurbished As "Modern Digs" Ready for the Next Century

It is a challenge to call the renovation of this historic storefront simply a ground up restoration. While the original "bones" of the building remain, essentially it is newly designed for modern living. Providing comfortable and sophisticated spaces to both enjoy living and entertaining. You will enjoy a beautifully finished concrete floor (Radiant Heat); Spacious interior rooms with soaring ceiling heights; Big windows everywhere for excellent light and placed for privacy. In the Great Room, two sets of oversized patio doors stream light from the south facing garden "room". Open these doors and the spaces become almost as one (oh so Zen-like). Any cook will enjoy the kitchen's stainless steel appliances and farm-style porcelain sink, surrounded by quartz grey countertops. The kitchen island serves as a versatile workspace, flexible eating, or whatever the need. There will be many great uses and needs filled here. I think the combination of perfect fixtures done in a modern style is what really makes this space soar! The bedrooms are equally as special w/tall ceiling, lots of light, big closets, and access to an incredible bathroom, again the choice of fixtures is truly a work of art.

New Listing: Beautifully Renovated Bungalow

Welcome to this wonderful Craftsman Bungalow in a very desirable Central Berkeley location! The owner has just completed an extensive Remodel. Many of the systems were upgraded, or replaced (see "Owner's List of Improvements.") The gracious front porch has been dubbed the "Party Porch" by the folks in my office. Everyone wants a nice shady porch to watch the world go by, enjoy a nice drink after work or read the paper on Sunday. Inside you have a traditional bungalow floorplan and all the other great detailing, including nice art deco styled moldings which are very unique, a fireplace and gleaming hardwood floors.
The brand new kitchen is really the heart of the home. It offers so much, including a lot of room and work space. It's perfect for entertaining – either straight out to the cozy backyard or into the formal dining room for a more upscale event. The kitchen has beautiful styling and looks like a photo shoot from a magazine. There is tons of storage and counter top work space, too!
The casual dining table is the perfect place for a simple meal or extra overflow work space. Of course, there is a laundry room, small office space and 2 nice sized bedrooms. The final topper is the brand new bathroom. It's well appointed and a real treat to see period pieces intact, while updated for today. The backyard and Garage-mahal make this home special. There is a great patio for hanging-out and room to have raised beds for flowers or veggies with southeastern exposure. This will be one of your favorite spots to enjoy! The Garage-mahal is so cool. I need one of these and I'm sure you'll have many uses – Art Studio, Office, Workshop, Media Cave, Store your Treasures here, Perfect for the next startup business, or ?? You will find a lot offered in this freshly renovated home - it's ready for you, and in move-in condition! The seller has a Sewer Certificate, Clear Termite and RECO to top it all off.
This home is located in South Central Berkeley – Close to everything without all the hassles. There is a multitude of shopping and dining options close by – Sea Salt, Homemade Café, Whole Foods and Berkeley Bowl. Commuting is easy because you are just a bike ride from most of Berkeley including Downtown and the UC Campus. All of Emeryville and Downtown Oakland are also nearby.
