SHORT SALE LENDER CANNOT REDUCE COMMISSION TO BROKER - 05/15/10 09:12 PM
 
Via Richard Zaretsky, Florida Real Estate Attorney (Richard P. Zaretsky P.A. ):
One of the great drawbacks to a broker taking on a short sale listing is the fear and often the reality that the short sale lender will demand a reduction in the broker commissions.  This has created all sorts of contraptions to make the broker whole.

New Florida Foreclosure Defense Rule from Florida Supreme Court - 05/15/10 09:04 PM

Via Richard Zaretsky, Florida Real Estate Attorney (Richard P. Zaretsky P.A. ):
A new method to dismiss a Foreclosure Complaint in Florida that is just catching is to apply an amended rule put into effect by the Florida Supreme Court on February 11, 2010.  This can be an important tool to delay the foreclosure and get that short sale done and the "window of opportunity" is right now.

 
The rule was incorporated into the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure at Rule 1.110(b).  The new language requires that a residential foreclosure (note that this does not say primary residential foreclosure) now … (0 comments)

I don't know how many of you know this and I am sure many of you do, but for those of you who don't Lowe's, Walgreen's and there are more will give Veteran's a 10% discount on their purchases if you show them a DD214 or VA card at the time of purchase.  This may not sound like much but if you use these stores a few times a year it can really add up.  If you buy prescription drugs 10% adds up to a lot of money.  If you go to Lowe's and purchase new appliances or a new kitchen … (1 comments)
