jay otlewski: So you want to buy a bank owned home? - 07/25/09 12:13 PM
So you think you want to buy a bank owned home? There is noting wrong with this, in fact these are the best deals out there right now. But you MUST have a Realtor that understands what they are doing and a lot of agents (part time and some full time) are not used to dealing with banks. Your agent can make the difference between getting the home of your dreams and a costly major headache.
Most REO sellers require a special Addendum to the Purchase Contract. These addenda may contain many provisions that change the standard terms of the AAR … (0 comments)

jay otlewski: Trilogy at Vistancia in Peoria, Arizona - 07/20/09 12:25 PM
My sales contact at Trilogy asked if I would pass this along. Shea Homes has just changed their pricing at Trilogy as well as LOWERED the price of their models they are selling. These models of course would be purchased by you and then leased back to Shea Homes until they are finished with the home, right now they expect that to be June of 2012. You'll notice the note that they have the options to extend this it they need the home as a model still.

jay otlewski: Buying a bank owned or foreclsoure home in Phoeniz Arizona - 05/20/09 04:42 PM
I know that one thing most of my clients are worried about when they buy a bank owned or foreclosed home is the condition of the home itself. The banks will always demand that we waive any warranty rights and the condition of the home as well as your right to sue them if there is anything wrong with the home. Even with a home inspection things can fall through the cracks!
I guess I can see the bank's point since they have never lived in the home or have any information about the condition. But every time a client signs … (0 comments)

jay otlewski: Selling your home faster with Staging! - 05/04/09 09:40 AM
We've all heard the old adage "you never get a second chance to make a first impression." This is especially true when it comes to your home. If you're thinking about selling, there's no more important audience to attract than potential buyers, who are highly influenced by how a home looks the first time they get a glimpse of it. Even if your goal is just to impress your neighbors and guests you should pay close attention to the first impression your home in making. Here are a few simple tips and techniques that can positively affect your home's "curb appeal" … (0 comments)

jay otlewski: What's up with the Market? - 11/19/08 01:06 PM
Some of the hot economic news we talked about last week has hit and ... its interesting. 
•-          Housing starts were down 4.5% and building permits were down 12%
•-          CPI (measure of inflation) posted the largest decline in the 51 year history of the BLS
•-          Average weekly earnings rose 1.4%
I am going to take a glass is half full stance on these numbers.  Obviously the lower inflation number is a big plus (we must see what the Fed does with rates to see where this will go), and the hike in earnings is positive.  The negative housing stats … (1 comments)
