price: Short Sales I like to call them Long Sales - 03/11/10 03:26 PM
Considering trying to buy a short sale? You will need to ask yourself a few questions first.
 
1)     Am I willing and can I to wait 3-4 months to get an answer from the sellers lender?
2)     Do I fully understand that the seller lender may come back after I wait 3-4 months and say NO?!

price: THE QUICK AND THE DEAD! - 03/13/09 02:47 PM
When you start planning to put your home on the market, it's time to show off!  Try to imagine that your in-laws are coming for an extended visit, and then triple the effort you would put into preparing for their arrival.  Sellers are competing for offers, and it all starts at your front door - literally.
 
Impress potential buyers at first sight with a well-tended lawn and entryway.  When they walk through the door, make sure they do not sense any clutter.  You've got to pack it up sooner or later, so take the opportunity to do it now, before … (3 comments)

If there were a health issue in your family, you would turn to your doctor with questions.  Likewise, you would consult an attorney if you were facing a legal problem.  Chances are, however, that you would first go online to any number of medical or legal websites to familiarize yourself with the issues and get enough information to begin an informed discussion with the professional.

price: BACK TO BASICS! - 01/23/09 04:59 PM
 
Okay, it's time to return to Real Estate 101.  With so much gloom and doom reported, our successful sale stories are being pushed aside by national reports of overstocked inventories and reluctant buyers.  Blaming slow sales on "the market" is just an excuse.  There is only one reason that homes remain unsold: they are overpriced.
 For many sellers, this lesson is only learned after it's too late, resulting in frustration and finger pointing.  Let's try to put the record straight.  Many markets experienced extremely high levels of activity over the last few years.  Inventories adjust as the number of eager … (0 comments)
