Below is an article from today’s Headlines – One that actually depicts REALITY! (It will certainly be in the Window Front Today)
Short Sales on the other hand are increasing…. As judges in the Tri-County area slow down foreclosures, Banks are turning to Short Sales as a means of disposing “foreclosing” inventory. Quite Frankly with Bank of America (being my favorite… haha/right) a short sale is most likely easier to purchase than a Bank of America REO – This WILL BE another Blog to look for, you … (2 comments)
I was just thinking today that some parts of this business have become so un-personable and sloppy it is a true shame. I had a closing yesterday that did not go well due to the unprofessionalism of the title company, no one present from the lender or selling side and a Notary conducting the closing despite it being AT the Title Company’s Office! Now I have been to this Title Company’s office before. Yes- they have a gorgeous conference room with the Cherry table and tall Leather Chairs. The pen holders on the … (3 comments)
There is quite a swing from high to low. For kicks I went back and took out the highest sold to see how that would change the avg/median stats which was quite interesting. It only lowered the Median by 1400. and the avg by 9700.
Not a huge swing at all when you consider the amount of properties sold. The Avg. sold based on these numbers does seem high compared to … (1 comments)

- GREAT RATES - Buy real estate - they're not making any more of it.

I had a homebuyer call me today frustrated with "her realtor". Why.... She would not listen. Caller.... "she is just wasting everyone’s time... she is showing us junk...she is NOT LISTENING!" WOW... Long story short, she signed a short sale offer the other day for a house she does not want to wait for. She no longer wants to move forward with the short sale having later been educated by someone else about the short sale process. She also feels her realtor is trying to force her to stay with this offer … (10 comments)

And the email Auto-Reply says.... "Thank you for your message. I am in the office, but I am currently experiencing a high volume of messages. You may experience a delay in my response, but I will make every effort to respond to all emails within 24 hours. Thank you for your patience."......
This is what we get from a title company being handed REO Business? Really.... Where is the service? You say you are ready... then you say you are not, then you say you are... then you go underground. Do you want to close or not? … (6 comments)

- 09/22/11 09:47 AM
Doom and Gloom comes from the News Rooms... but is it all that? Not really. Look around and see what you see for yourself. With just a little observation, you can see the real story. I work in a strip plaza in Port St Lucie, FL. In my plaza alone, bays empty for YEARS are now filling up. Like overnight Magic by years end we will have 3 new retailers w/in 300 yards of my storefront. 2 of them National Retailers. Driving down the road I see "pending" on commerical property locations. In south Florida I read Walmart will be opening … (1 comments)

buying a home: Beware of the Pre-Tax Return Pre-Approval on Real Estate Purchases
- 09/21/11 10:01 AM
Often Pre-qualification letters are issued based on credit score and income/debt information. Even the tougher banks such as Wells Fargo will require a lot of information but will still issue a pre-approval without actually seeing tax returns. Consumers do not realize all the aspects of tax returns that are considered by underwriters to approve mortgage loans. And far too often there can be "creative" accountants who believe serving their clients is best done by how much money they get refunded to the client. To the consumers out there - be very very skeptical about creativity. For Example: 1. If you are … (1 comments)
buying a home: From the Home Purchase to Close and beyond a Few Days.. Musts for the Home-Buyer / Mortgage Loan Borrower.
- 09/20/11 09:01 AM
Re-creating the 10 Commandments of Purchasing a Home & the Do's and Dont's for the Lending Process. So you decided on a home to buy and you made the offer. Congrats! But you aren't there yet. You even went through tedious negotiations, inspections and loan pre-approval. Great, but you aren't there yet! So when can you sit back and confidentially sigh a sigh of relief that you did it, you bought a home? Not until you have closed, funded, moved in a even a few days after for the sake of lenders quality control. Lending as we all know has … (4 comments)
