atlanta short sales: New Short Sale Timelines - 02/22/12 12:27 AM
New Short Sale Timelines
I was working on a resource guide for our buyer's agents and buyers of our short sale alike and wanting to give them some more specifics than just the usual 60 days and get into some bank specifics.  After reviewing our data  from doing Atlanta Short Sales, I was very impressed to see that Timelines have sped up significantly! 
I was pretty impressed that Citi Short Sales got even better! Suntrust also made huge improvements! 
Citi Short Sales - Less than 30 days in most cases.  Our last one was 6 days!  Wells Fargo Short Sales - … (2 comments)

What Is A Deal Breaker For Short Sales?

It happens all the time around the real estate water cooler, agents talking about how much they hate short sales and why they won't take them. It's a shame too, because there are agents out there on the other end of the spectrum that are taking short sale listings when they shouldn't, especially those that claim to have some sort of certification that they simply bought so they could say it.
Still, a good short sale specialist will have a qualification list of what short sales they will take.  Here's our list … (1 comments)

atlanta short sales: FHA Hurdles Revealed after Flagstar Short Sale Closing - 04/27/10 02:07 AM
Roswell, GA – Atlanta’s Premiere Short Sale Specialist Team closed another short sale last week.  Located at 620 Pine Grove this Roswell home for sale was an FHA Short Sale through Flagstar.  There were many hurdles that are common with FHA short sales, but at the end of the day those hurdles are not comparable to other ones associated with non-fha short sales.  Here’s the common problems, or wrinkles with FHA short sales:
If the bank does not know how to handle them (Bank of America), then your file could be processed then have to go to the back of the line … (0 comments)

We've been so busy with short sales and stopping foreclosure we forgot to share our successes in November, December and January 2010!
Here's the homes, and the banks that we closed in just these three months!
For those out there working with short sales, just keep your head up, you have to wait it out a few months and your "pipeline" is longer but the reward is great.  You get to help homeowners avoid foreclosure and you get to feed your family.  Not a bad way to do real estate.

atlanta short sales: Court Case Could Effect Short Sale Specialists - 07/07/09 12:49 PM
Recently a court case ruling about Administrative Fees (Busby v. JRHBW Realty, Inc, d/b/a RealtySouth) made me think, "Good for them!"  I've never been a proponent of Admin Fees.  They are junk fees after all.  However, as a short sale specialist, I had to think about this a bit more.
In this case, the plaintiff won a class action law suit against RealtySouth for charging Admin Fees that were legally proven not to have done anything to help in the transaction.   Short Sales can feel like the wild west and now some of the extra ways of collecting a full commission … (38 comments)
