taunton ma real estate: 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)

taunton ma real estate: When SHOULD a Buyer do their Home Inspection??? - 03/26/09 07:50 AM
In this market that we are currently in Multiple Offers are becoming a very common occurrence, especially in the lower price ranges. It is not uncommon to have 3-6 offers on a well priced property at a time. (Isn't it funny that when you watch the news - nobody's buying - homes aren't selling - the real estate market is at a stand still - NOT TRUE)
If you are a buyer in a multiple offer situation the listing agent (the agent with the name on the for sale sign) may ask that your home inspection be done BEFORE the sellers decide what offer to … (3 comments)

taunton ma real estate: What EXACTLY IS your job as a Buyers Agent??? - 05/04/08 04:22 PM
Several days ago I posted a blog regarding short sales and the fact of advertising it in MLS. In my area we are required to notify prospective buyers and their agents about a home being a short sale. Why???? An agent has the right and the obligation to know and disclose that to a prospective purchaser, but does the general public have that same right???
I want to know what is the Buyers agents opinion of their responsibility. Isn't it their job to research homes prior to setting up the showings to make sure it can meet their buyers expectations or needs? … (3 comments)

taunton ma real estate: The seller is broke - FIRE SALE!!! - 04/27/08 05:12 PM
Why do short sales get "advertised" in MLS? I understand that the buyer needs to be notified of the situation prior to an offer, but putting the remark in MLS is like placing a scarlet letter on the home and the seller. The "subject to 3rd party approval" comment is screaming that the sellers are in financial trouble. Shouldn't that be considered personal information? I absolutely continue to market and solicit for additional offers without approval of ANY offer from my sellers until the bank approves the short sale. All buyers and agents are notified in writing of this upfront.
My concern … (14 comments)
