David W Myers

Plaudits to David W. Myers for being a triple-crown winner at the National Assn. of Realtors convention, and to The Times real estate section as one of the nation's best. DOROTHY BEFFMAN Los Angeles

I want to commend David W. Myers on an outstanding set of articles ("Mortgage Nightmares") in the Sunday (Nov. 8) edition. I am keeping the source guide in my files for the use of my customers if they experience any difficulties in loan servicing. Again, Myers did a fine job in informing the public as to how to "fight back" when the system doesn't work. Keep it up! JIM CROWLEY Oxnard The writer is a real estate broker.

Just a note to tell you how much I have been enjoying David W. Myers' series on affordable housing (May 15-June 5). While at first depressing, especially for one who has yet to buy a first home in Los Angeles, each article has renewed my belief that where there's a will, there's a way! SYDNEY L. WILSON Malibu

"Having It All" by David W. Myers on elderly housing (Sept. 23) proves that it pays to read the Real Estate section. The article not only covers senior living possibilities, but the statistics explain attitudes toward seniors, particularly women. Recently retired, 60-plus and widowed since age 49, I've sensed hostility against independence in older women from both male and female peers. In the travel realm, (including Elderhostel), brochures make it patently clear that accommodations are on a Noah's Ark basis.

Congratulations to David W. Myers for a job well done with the article on the problems of hazardous waste and toxic materials (June 12). I think articles such as this by writers who obviously understand the topic are most beneficial to the commercial real estate industry. ALEXIS A. FAFENRODT Los Angeles

I read with great interest David W. Myers' article "Home Major Battleground on Pollution" (Aug. 28). I passed the article to all my friends, and they were all very interested and willing to start the war against pollution in our own homes. HELENE JEANNEL Los Angeles

Times staff writer David W. Myers, author of the Your Mortgage column, will talk on real estate financing at the three Los Angeles Times Home Buyers Fairs in May.

The all-day fairs will be held Saturday at the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds in Pomona, May 19 at the Woodland Hills Marriott Hotel and May 26 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Orange County.

I would like to congratulate David W. Myers on his excellent article, "Push on to Freeze Loan Ceilings of Housing Agencies" (Nov. 2). Having read countless articles on this subject, I found his to be the most thorough and balanced. The issues in this "debate" are many and complex, and you have served your readers well. DALE P.

In response to "Sellers Nerves" by David W. Myers (Aug. 26), let's blame the real estate agents and brokers. They have made huge profits by inflating our neighborhoods out of the reach of many of us. "I'm sorry we have six offers on this home," I was told time after time when we wanted to re-enter the housing market. Well, we are still renters and have invested out of the area. Who do they think are going to pay the high prices? How many more families must move out of the area and raise a family?

As a Real Estate Professional, I must protest your publication (Dec. 7) of two articles by David W. Myers. The first, "Good Agent Vital To Sale of Home" contained a paragraph near the end which stated, in part, "you've got one more chance to reduce the agent's commission" and quoted one Lawrence Krause, a financial planner from San Francisco: "That's a fair request in some circumstances, like if you need the extra money to get into your next...
