short sale: 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)

short sale: Dallas area Foreclosure Postings on the Rise - 01/23/08 11:29 AM
I try to look for and emphasize the good news in the real estate market... and there is a lot of good news out there.  Interest rates are low, buyers seem to be interested in buying again after what seemed to be a slow 4th quarter of 2007.  Well priced and well updated … (0 comments)

short sale: 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.
Until the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief act of 2007 … (5 comments)

short sale: Dallas area Foreclosure Outlook Dreary - 12/14/07 07:32 PM
Several stories in various media outlets today have reported frightening foreclosure statistics for the Dallas / Fort Worth area.  Hopefully anyone who may be impacted and who qualifies for a Short Sale is exploring that option.  Some of the regional numbers reported indicated an expected 30% year-over-year increase in the forecast for January.

"Over the past year or so "Short Sales" have become more & more common in my area (Contra Costa County, California.) I have participated in several.  Some successsful, some not so successful.

short sale: 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)

short sale: Mortgage Bailout Plan - Basic Facts & Perspective - 12/08/07 03:51 PM
Since Thursday's announcement of the government's mortgage bailout plan I have received numerous phone calls from distressed home owners asking if this plan will allow them to keep their homes and avoid foreclosure.  The short answer to that question is "maybe", but for the majority of homeowners considering a Short Sale … (2 comments)

short sale: Take 2 Aspirin and call a Short Sale Specialist! - 11/17/07 01:01 PM
I recently saw another agent who specializes in Short Sales suggest that not every agent who works Short Sale transactions has the ability to conduct them properly.  I believe that this is only the case if they do not prepare themselves properly.  Unfortunately many do not and try to navigate the … (15 comments)

short sale: 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)

short sale: Corporate Profits, Short Sales & the Changing Market. - 11/13/07 03:42 PM
I was listening to the radio again this morning and heard a story about how Home Depot's quarterly profits were down 27% from the same period a year ago.  While I know that many retailers are experiencing slower sales, (and I have heard that many expect this to be the worst … (3 comments)

short sale: 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)

short sale: 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)
