If you don’t shovel you may be sued!!! - 12/31/10 03:30 PM
In a recent ruling the Massachusetts Supreme Court changed how people slipping on ice and snow on your property was handled.  The prior law read that if you, as a home or business owner, chose not to clear the snow or ice off of your property it was ruled as it was an “act of nature” and you were not liable.  Well, that has now changed!
Please read this article:
The law now states that every property owner has a duty to use “reasonable care”.
What does that mean to you as a homeowner with your home on the market?????

The Bobbie Files Show - The Short Sale Process Part 3 in a 10 part series - 12/30/10 08:52 AM
The short sale process explained in detail. Most homeowners that I come across are absolutely overwhelmed at the very thought of a short sale. The paperwork is very similar to what is required when applying for a mortgage.




If you are a homeowner struggling to pay your mortgage payment and have either been declined for a modification OR just have no interest in staying in the home any longer, a short sale may be another alternative.

The longest foreclosure process..... - 12/17/10 03:51 PM

Foreclosures are here and in full speed.  We all must know someone that has or is going through financial trouble and is unable to pay their mortgage.  But the story I just read absolutely takes the prize for being the longest pending foreclosure that I have ever heard of.
In life if you don’t stand up and fight for yourself no one else will.  Yes, you can pay some one to be the mouth piece for you, but you have to take the initiative to make the fight.  Well, Patsy Campbell of Florida really has taken it to levels I … (2 comments)

HAMP, it turns out, is a bust!!!! - 12/15/10 02:11 PM
In a recent article by Inman News it is reported that due to the treasury's failure to take action and re-allocate the HAMP program less than 1/5th of the number of borrowers were assisted and funds originally allocated were used.
The program was set up to give the lenders the money to modify troubled homeowners mortgages.  They anticipated by the $30 billion dollars that was allocated 3 to 4 million homeowners could have had their mortgage re-written to make them affordable.  Well, the numbers came in at 700,000 homeowners assisted and only $4 billion used.
The standards to qualify for HAMP … (5 comments)

Will I have the “American Dream” again?? - 12/12/10 11:58 AM
December 12, 2010
I recently received an email from a person who was very distraught over the necessity of having to go through a short sale.  The simple fact of needing the short sale was very upsetting to her, but she was also upset over the fact that she was told that she would not be able to own a home again for at least 5 years!!!
I was shocked when she said that to me.
I asked her who told her such a thing?  She informed me that her bank had indicated that to her.
That left me thinking … (5 comments)

Short Sales are time consumming and intense BUT uneducated or lazy agents make them tough! - 12/07/10 05:29 AM
At this very moment I have 23 active short sale files. 
 
I just wanted to let that sentence sink in.  Give it the attention and thought that it deserves.  That is a good number of active short sale files.  Not bragging or looking for accolades just want you to realize how many files I work on at once so that you possibly can see why an agent who doesn't want to listen to how the process is OR an agent who just wants to play "pass the buck" is truly an unnecessary nuisance in this market.
A short sale is … (7 comments)

My journey thru one of my recent short sales - 12/04/10 10:05 AM
As most of my readers know by now I specialize in short sales. Many agents claim to be an expert but when asked to show their numbers or show professional referrals, they cannot. I handle the short sales for many agents in my office as well as for several local attorneys, and have even stepped in to assist agents in other brokerage firms.
Yes, I now have sufficiently patted myself on the back  )!!!!!
Well, my experiences with a recent short sale left me out of wind and even speechless (and anybody who is laughing thinking there is NO way I was … (4 comments)
