southeastern ma: Oh The Times They Are A Changing...
- 04/18/11 04:48 AM
The bank owned properties are multiplying before our eyes. Boarded up single family and multi family homes. No longer do we work side by side with our local realtors. In this market we work with the listing agents who are not from around here, who easily carry 100 listings in Massachusetts and Rhode Island from different banks, who have no idea what the properties even look like because they hired a company to secure the building and put a lock box on it. We never meet or see this listing agent. We may speak to them on the phone but they … (0 comments)

- 02/08/11 06:03 AM
I have been working with short sales and the more we do the more we learn.We started out trying to send the offer over to the bank for approval before the seller signed and it just wasn't working. The last sales that were approved were done completely different. Here are the five easy steps to short sale approval! :) Step 1. As soon as you get the listing get the sellers to sign a Third Party Authorization and fax it over to the bank/banks. Call after 48 hours to make sure they received.

southeastern ma: How Are You Doing With Short Sales??
- 02/08/11 05:54 AM
I had one short sale for a three family in Fall River, MA that was under-agreement in August and in December they finally gave us short sale approval and wanted us to close in two weeks. Well of course all of the copper pipes were stolen out of the house in the meantime so there was no way the seller could get the insurance company in there and get the pipes replaced in two weeks, and then the buyer lost his job! Back to square one.... Then.....I had a short sale in Taunton and while it was on the market and … (2 comments)

southeastern ma: Short Sales in Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island
- 10/29/10 11:32 AM
The majority of listing appointments in my area are short sales. There was a time when I would go on listing appointments and make the sellers smile with pleasure when I told them what their property was worth. Those days are long gone! All I do is disappoint most sellers today, I even make some cry. It is very sad to find out that you can not sell your property for what you paid for it. This is what many sellers are facing today. So what can they do? They can do a short sale.A short sale simply means that … (0 comments)
