Do You Do Windows?--Anderson County, Lawrenceburg KY, Central KY

I hate to wash windows, but you know every now and again you have to if you want to see the world outside.  But I'm not actually talking about my windows at home or the windows in your home.  I'm talking about someone else's windows, like one of your listings.  Oh, I have smeared around on the front door of one before or a patio door to get the smears and smudges gone before its being shown.  But never have I done so many as I did right before an open house I was hosting.

You never know what lengths you will go to to make things right until you are faced with the problem of "smudges, dirt, etc". 

Once I cleaned the front storm door, I cleaned the patio door, the window above the kitchen sink, then I continued throughout the house and did some mirrors.  Then there were spider webs, so I found the broom and starting knocking those down.  I wanted buyers to like this house and wanted an offer that day. 

Well I only had one couple, but they did like the house and neighborhood and they ate my cookies and stayed for quite awhile.  There is not an offer yet, but who knows, maybe they liked all the sunshine pouring in and well make an offer soon.

Never underestimate what you will do!

Recently receiving my CDPE designation, I'm a little nervous to start advertising to list short sales.  I have studied, read short-sale posts and articles, studied our local market for short-sales, and really want to help homeowners avoid foreclosure.

As a listing agent for HUD, I have tons of buyers looking deals on a new home.  Of course, in this market everyone wants a deal and ridiculously low offers are abundant. 

Believe it or not, one of my fears is once my advertisement hits the local papers and internet that I will be totally overwhelmed with calls to list homes.  Of course, I have to qualify the sellers first to see if they are willing to follow through with working closely with their lender to help the process go smoother and try their best to keep the property in showing condition.

Guess I need to put it out there and see what happens!  Wish me luck with my new endeavor and hopefully I will be able to help at least a few distressed sellers from going into foreclosure!

HUD-HUD-HUD, seems like I have been living, eating and breathing HUD owned properties for the last 9 months!  They have served me well though, keeping me going during the lean months of the winter and through the horrors of the housing market.  All in all, I have met some very solid buyers that are not only looking for deals on HUD or foreclosed properties, but some have mentioned purchasing land or farms for future investment.  Selling farms is what I love doing!  I get to wear my jeans and boots, walk or 4-wheel over acres of farm land and enjoy the great feeling of being outside with nature.

I met my last buyers at a HUD owned property, who expressed an interest in purchasing a farm.  Now, who would of thought on that Saturday afternoon as I stood outside a neglected house waiting for perspective buyers that a few weeks later, I would have a $500,000 deal in contract, paying cash no less?  Not I, nor my husband, who was upset that I had once again taken off on a weekend to show houses to people that I had never met before.  Well, you know, God works in strange ways and He has answered my prayers throughout my life more times than I can count or remember!   I praise Him today for sending people into my life that makes it better and better.

Next time you feel aggravated because you you are being dragged out to show a property that will reap only a small commission that may not even pay for your gas, remember to ask the right questions, keep in touch and you may find yourself with a good deal down the road!

On February 7th I blogged about HUD and what it actually was and how to go about selling HUD owned properties.  Since that blog I have learned even more with every HUD deal I am involved with.  The last offer was almost lost because of the wording in the preapproval letter.  The bank had to revise three times.  Once because their address was not on the letterhead, next time because their phone number was missing.  When I finally think it is going to go through, I have to get the bank to change their verbage.  The original letter basically said there credit rating was good for the loan, but ohhhh nooo, it has to actually say that there was a credit report done and the preapproval is based on that fact.

When you are submitting offers on a HUD owned property, make sure everything is dated the same, the buyer(s) name is signed the same throughout the paperwork, your broker has to sign the 9548 form and the LBP, you as the agent have certain places to sign also.  Look closely for a couple of places to insert dates and for the buyer(s) to initial.

Don't loose a HUD deal over not dotting your i's and crossing your t's!  I look over the HUD paperwork at least 5 or more times.  You might be surprised that you skipped over an important section.

By the way, if you are in the Central Kentucky area, my expertise with HUD owned properties could help you get the deal.  Let me handle the paperwork and specifics for you!

Have you had the pleasure of seeing Pat Zaby, if not and if you have the chance you need to.  I attended his seminar today at our local board and the tech info provided was awesome.  One of the most awesome things he brought to our attention was Jott.com.  Recently I was considering buying a digital recorder so that when I am driving down the road I can record info, instead of trying to write it down while driving 70 mph.  Well, I don't need a digital recorder, I just need to set up an account on Jott, save the 866 number in my phone, call it with my 15 second message, and then it sends the message to me via my email.  Too good to be true!  You can also send a message or text to a group of people, creat to-do lists, and much more.  This is great communication on the go!

Check it out, all for $3.95 a month.  Anyway, if I used a digital recorder I would probably forget to listen to my reminders. :)
