short sale: You Stole My Home! - 12/23/11 12:14 AM
A fellow Realtor sent me the following picture earlier today. I had to laugh because I think it is rather funny. I want to make it clear I am not making light of a person/family being foreclosed on or losing their home. That is an awful experience. I also want to make it clear I am not defending lending institutions.
I get that I don't know these people's stories but B of A stealing the home from them? Really? Here's what probably happened. They went late on their payment, possibly tried to do a short sale and it didn't get approved. Now, … (3 comments)

short sale: 5 bedroom 3 bath home for sale in Hillcrest Ranch in Glendale Arizona - 12/09/10 03:22 PM
I am not your typical short sale, and I need a new owner immediately. I am a 5 bedroom 3 bath home for sale in Hillcrest Ranch in Glendale Arizona. Once you walk inside my doors you have an awesome floorplan with 1 bedroom downstairs and a flex room. There are separate family and living rooms.
While I have many incredible features and I am upgraded everywhere, you will love my kitchen. It even has an island. In fact, it has everything! The eat-in kitchen area is separated by a 2-way fireplace.
Once you make your way upstairs there is a … (0 comments)

short sale: The New F Word - 05/27/10 04:21 PM
So, you saw the title of this blog and you're thinking, "How dare he?!" Calm down. While I always speak my mind I wouldn't go around saying what you're probably thinking. Most of us know of the old F word, have heard the F bomb, etc, etc. Well, in case you have lived in a cave for the past 3 years I am suggesting the new F word actually means Foreclosure. Because there are so many of these I think it might even be acceptable or pc to say FU (for Foreclosure You) of course.
As we all stay educated and … (2 comments)

short sale: Do I Have To? - 04/18/10 10:09 AM
Earlier this week I filmed an Episode of our BS Show. We discussed the now infamous question in short sales of, "Do I have to miss a payment?"
As Realtors we should obviously never be answering that and telling our clients they should or shouldn't miss a payment. But the reality is our clients still want to know and they should be getting advice from the one(s) they trust. I am not suggesting I tell anyone to miss one. I inform them of what could or couldn't happen and let them make that decision.
In all of the short sales I … (3 comments)

short sale: Short Sales, Short Sales Arizona, Short Sales and You - 03/16/10 01:46 PM
I recently received a call from a friend of mine who referred me to a lady who was interested in knowing about a short sale. I actually made a video about this a few days ago too. I am now writing about it because I am still worked up from it. I am so happy that someone told her about the short sale and I had the opportunity to educate her on the process and now have her home listed.
There are so many people that have lost their jobs, lost a loved one, taken a salary cut at work..amongst many … (0 comments)

short sale: Wachovia Mortgages! - 11/23/09 09:22 PM
We have all heard horror stories of short sales taking forever! Sometimes taking months for a response. Fortunately, one of our leading banks has finally stepped up to the plate--WACHOVIA!!!
Once the listing agent receives an offer it is 10 DAYS FOR AN APPROVAL!! That is how it should be and these guys are changing the face of real estate. Not only that but they are offering relocation assistance.
Relo assistance, fast responses, and guess what else--VERY LITTLE PAPERWORK!
I'm not sure this is available everywhere but check with your local Realtor, and if you are in Arizona, give me a … (3 comments)

short sale: Short sale disservice - 11/11/07 11:12 AM
I recently read an article about short sales and wanted my fellow Rainers' thoughts. This article was talking about short sales and how some agents are doing a disservice to their clients. Basically, the point was this: seller is potentially behind on their payments, agent contacts seller/seller contacts agent, agent lists home. As we all know (maybe) the short sale allows for a seller to potentially avoid having a foreclosure on their credit/record by selling short of what they owe. This also allows the bank to avoid having another property in their portfolio.
This author suggested that there are quite a … (14 comments)

short sale: UNGRATEFUL PEOPLE - 10/21/07 04:54 PM
A couple of months ago I came across a lead for a seller needing to sell his home. He informed me he was 2 months behind on his payments and I suggested to him we start the short sale process but he wanted to proceed with a regular overpriced home sale listing. We did, we got activity but of course no offers. Entering the 3rd month of no payment we opted for the short sale and immediately got a bunch of activity.
I came across an investor who had the old scheme of, "sign everything over to me, and I'll buy it." … (5 comments)
