In this interview, which took place on April 1st, I talk to a mortgage lender and VP of Title Insurance and we discuss how much has changed over the last 2 weeks due to the impact covid-19 has had on Southern California real estate sales. A few topics we cover are: -What the current supply and demand is for the Orange County housing market -How the process has changed for buyers and sellers before and during escrow -How to stay safe when buying or selling a home while staying within the state and county guidelines of shelter in place -What has changed for mortgage loans and why you really need to have daily contact with your lender during this challenging time -What title insurance is and how it protects both the buyer and seller -Why it's important to get title information on a home as soon as possible, especially right now. -What else is important to know about the real estate industry right now
