There are many documents that must be submitted with a short sale offer for it to

We have worked with many homeowners just like you who were in need of short selling their house. We have been successfully negotiating short sales for the past 2 years here in Lee County.

cape coral short sales: Cape Coral Short Sales | Advice for banks - 10/25/08 06:50 PM
I'm a firm believer in only addressing a problem if you have the solution. The recent blog I wrote about Countrywide short sales sure caused a lot of comments, emails and phone calls. Not to worry, I have a solution. Read the full article about Countrywide Short Sales and the WHY behind this post. Here's what I propose the banks do to collect the most money back on these bad loans: 1) Have an intake department with a checklist of items needed in package (timeframe: same day of receipt) a. Reject all that are missing items - send letter of

cape coral short sales: Expecting to Buy a short Sale | What to Expect - 10/09/08 08:36 AM
What to Expect when you are expecting to buy a short sale So, you are expecting? Expecting to buy a short sale? Short sales are handled much differently from traditional sales. Here we will go over the differences to help you through the process. The first thing to consider: Your time frame for purchase Do you have enough time to wait for an answer? Short sales can take 30-60 days to receive an answer. We've heard horror stories of it taking 5-6 months in some cases as well. This could have been due to a number of factors

cape coral short sales: Short Sales and How I Think They Should Be Handled Part 2 of 4 - 06/26/08 01:28 PM
Listing Activities at property · Take multiple photos of the property – the good and the bad. Obviously use the prettiest photos for your marketing material but disclose any known defects. The bad photos are good to show the seller’s lender. · Put an electronic lockbox on the front door or hidden if seller/tenant prefers. Agents that have to pick up a key or schedule to meet an owner/tenant/agent are WAY less likely to show that home. Especially in this current buyer’s market. There are too many other choices available. Check out my previous blog about tenant

cape coral short sales: Short Sales and How I Think They Should Be Handled Part 3 of 4 - 06/26/08 01:27 PM
Yay, Showings and Offers! You get showings, and now an offer comes in. GREAT! How do I think offers on short sales should be handled? Like any other sale. Present all in a timely manner. Encourage your seller to make a decision asap. If they like the offer, have them sign the contract. We require all contracts to be on the Far/Bar As-Is contract along with the Short Sale Addendum. We also require a bank letter of funds available or a pre-approval letter and a copy of the buyer’s escrow check. What’s next? First of all,

cape coral short sales: Short Sales Should Not be GAMES - 02/10/08 08:41 AM
Last week I was out showing a buyer customer of mine some nice homes in a local waterfront gated community. Most of the listings in this particular section of the community were listed as short sales. The short sale listings ranged from $280,000-400,000. Most were in the mid 300s. None had recently sold. The ones that were not short sales were well over $400K. When I called the listing agent with the least expensive unit to inquire about where they were at in the process he told me they were just waiting on an offer to submit to the bank. I asked
