Multiple offers got you down? 
 
The sun is shining at the beach and our prices in Destin and 30A are lower than they have been in a real long time.  The past few weeks I have been running into alot of multiple offer situations.  This really can be stressful for the buyers, sellers, and agents involved.  I have dealt with this situation many times because I specialize in short sales, foreclosures and great deals.  Below are a few tips that I follow and they can help increase your chances for success. 
1.  Do not be afraid to pay full price or a bit … (2 comments)

Mr. Banker, Can We Please Close Locally?  Destin FL Foreclosures

Destin Foreclosure Search - Click Here
One of the biggest problems that I encounter with REO properties is that most large banks will not close locally.  Your local and regional banks will, but most of your larger lenders will require that you close via Fed Ex or a Mobile Closer.  This really bothers some of my buyers and it can be a deal breaker.  Most REO buyers would prefer to have a local attorney look at the file and they would like to attend a closing at a closing office.  They  require the face to face … (1 comments)

Bank Owned properties can be very tricky and Real Estate Agents that have experience with REO (Bank Owned) properties will definitely have the advantage.  The big question that buyers often have is:
HOW MUCH WILL THE BANK TAKE UNDER THE ASKING PRICE?
The purpose of this blog is to answer this question and help REO newbies achieve success.  First of all, this question is somewhat irrelevant.  Some banks price their REO properties high at first and many will price their properties 5 - 10% under their appraised value to create … (6 comments)

1.  Be ready to move quickly.  Waiting around is not a smart play.  If you do not move quickly, you will be penalized with a serious bidding war and an escalated purchase price.  If you move quickly, there may … (1 comments)

I represent both buyers and sellers of Destin, FL short sales and every situation is different.  Sometimes they can be very easy and some times short sales can be extremely complex.  Some of the greatest challenges you will encounter when working on short sales will involve junior liens because the junior lien holder can prevent the short sale from taking place.  Developer owned short sales can be a haven for liens and this creates a complex situation.
I am currently working on five developer-owned … (1 comments)

I LOVE OVER PRICED SHORT SALES - Destin and Santa Rosa Beach, Florida
Isn't it funny how one $10,000 price adjustment on a $200,000 short sale listing can create a frenzy and multiple offers? I have found that over priced short sales are a great opportunity for the buyer's agent that understands the short sale process. If a short sale is listed for $200,000 and the comps are $160,000, one can offer $160,000 and educate the listing agent and seller with the comps. I have had great success with … (2 comments)
