preforeclosure: The Shifting Sands of Short Sales - One Agent's Perspective - 07/17/08 12:47 AM
It has finally happened.  The Short Sale shift has arrived and I have seen it.

preforeclosure: Real Estate Fraud… What were you thinking? - 06/28/08 11:54 PM
In my business dealings as a short sale specialist I hear a lot of interesting stories.  I am AMAZED at how many calls each week I get from people who have been victims of real estate and/or mortgage fraud.  They really are victims... because these people's lives have been totally turned … (12 comments)

preforeclosure: Debt Forgiveness means Relief - 01/17/08 07:25 PM
On December 20, 2007, President Bush signed legislation that created a three-year window during which home owners will not be taxed on debt forgiven during refinancing or the sale of their home.  This is very significant for those homeowners considering a Short Sale.

preforeclosure: Be Smart: Make the Right choice, not the Easy one. - 12/09/07 02:27 PM
I like Gail Tassey's Blog here on AR.  She had a posting on Friday titled "Go ahead Tiger Sell it yourself".  It was a relatively short posting but really got me thinking.  Real Estate seems to be one of the few business situations where many people base their choice regarding representation on non-business … (6 comments)

preforeclosure: Short sales & foreclosures: As Nevada goes, so goes the nation? - 11/16/07 04:48 PM
I've already confessed that I'm a news junkie (Is there a 12-step program for that?) and that I listen to a lot of National Public Radio, so I won't get into that again.  What I will mention is that I love that our local public radio station (KERA 90.1 FM) broadcasts … (6 comments)

preforeclosure: Home Values in a Changing Market - 11/12/07 12:38 PM
As a Realtor® one of the most common questions I get asked is "What is my house worth?"  In my opinion, there are two reasonable answers to that question.  One answer is that based on current knowledge or a market analysis, in your opinion their home is worth an approximate amount.  … (5 comments)

preforeclosure: The Ripple Effect of Foreclosure - 11/09/07 10:42 PM
I have been listening to the radio a lot lately. I am definitely what some people would call a "news junkie", so it should not surprise anyone that I listen to a lot of National Public Radio. What prompted me to write this Blog posting is that the topic on one of … (10 comments)
