boulder creek short sale: Forecast for future of Short Sales - 08/17/11 01:20 PM
Short sales will remain strong for the next several years as foreclosure inventories timelines grow even longer, according to the chief operating officer of Equator, a software platform for default servicers.
“Short sales will be very prominent over the next 2-3 years as foreclosure inventories increase and remain somewhat stagnant. The elongated foreclosure timelines coupled with improved processes and technology will lead to more short sales closing,” says John Vella, COO of Equator.
Equator reports some 775,000 real estate agents handling an average of 250,000 transactions per day access its platform.
Last week LPS reported the median foreclosure timeline now is … (0 comments)

boulder creek short sale: I just got another call from a Seller who is going to fire his agent. - 05/09/11 12:42 PM
 
MOST Common Complaint about Short Sale Agent
The most common complaint brokers are getting these days is that the short sale agent is non-responsive or that the process is going too slowly for the sellers. The best way to prevent this type of complaint is to manage your client's expectations from the beginning of your relationship-especially when working on a short sale.
 
Explain to the client that the timeline for a short sale transaction is much longer than for a "typical" transaction. Inform the client that banks may sit on offers for weeks or months without explanation. Expect nothing … (2 comments)

boulder creek short sale: Short Sales are on the rise, are you working with an expert? - 09/04/10 04:41 AM
Currently  when you look at the entire Santa Cruz County you will observe that 42% of the listings are Short Sales. The numbers are rising and I don't see it getting better. It serves you to hire an agent that is a skilled short sale expert. NOT an agent that is a glorified Front Man. God love'em they are better skilled with that side of it than I am.  
Most agents around here are hiring 3rd party negotiators, LIKE ME . . .  because the learning curve to figure out how it all works is too too complicated,  fustrating and time consuming.  I am the person behind … (0 comments)

boulder creek short sale: Santa Cruz County Foreclosures are not getting better, they are just taking longer! - 08/04/10 02:28 PM
Santa Cruz County Foreclosures are not getting better, they are just taking longer! President Barack Obama's signature plan to combat the housing crisis has fallen short of its goals -- rather than significantly and permanently reducing home foreclosures, it is only delaying them.
The administration unveiled its Making Home Affordable plan in February 2009. Obama vowed this program, would "enable as many as three to four million homeowners to modify the terms of their mortgages to avoid foreclosure."
What was designed to induce lenders, servicers and investors to modify distressed mortgages through a series of cash incentives....is not working?
