You Won't Believe What I Found in an REO House Yesterday! - 04/23/09 10:56 AM
I love real estate... without it I couldn't come up with all of these crazy stories that I like to share with you! (nope...it's all real! I couldn't make it up!)
Yesterday my husband Tim & I went out and previewed 16 houses for the Blue Jeans Rehab Bus Trip that starts Friday evening, and in the garage of one of the Bank Owned/REO properties, we stepped into the garage and here was a stripped our car! (that's me giving the listing agent the VIN number so she could call the police)
This car was completely stripped out: steering column … (7 comments)

Secret Internal Title Company Memo About Short Sales...Leaked to You! - 04/21/09 08:15 PM
One of my friends at a title company forwarded this to me this week.  It's an internal memo from their title underwriter about (more!) pitfalls of shortsales and what title companies are being warned about in short sales.  Just wanted you to know!

Orlando Event: Blue Jeans Rehab Bus Tour...Educational Training for Realtors & Investors - 04/19/09 09:00 PM
here's a few questions I want to ask you:

What's the *#&@%$ Problem with BPO's?

Question about leaving owner in the house after foreclosure...Bad Idea? - 04/04/09 06:45 AM
I got this question emailed to me yesterday from one of my readers and I thought it would be a good one to share!
Question? Andy: I was recently at a short sale seminar, I believe the one you had and one of the attorney's mentioned: "never let the seller stay in the property after the closing"...

Thanks!           Bev Cibulsky Exit Realty Associates
