simpsonville: The Short Sale List Price Fairy Tale - A Case Study in Greenville, SC - 11/07/11 03:17 PM
I recently took another short sale listing, to help the homeowners avoid foreclosure. I ran the comps, reviewed the first and second mortgage loan payoff amounts and devised an intelligent starting list price. Additionally, my client clearly understood my recommended list price reduction strategy, based on a specific timeline, the surrounding active listings in the immediate area, the number of missed payments on the mortages and even seasonal market trends and short-term forecasts.
So, what happened when it came time to implement the first price reduction? My client disagreed with any such reduction and wanted the home to remain very close … (1 comments)

simpsonville: Greenville, SC Short Sale and Foreclosure Listings...Is There A Tsunami Wave of Short Sales and Foreclosures Coming to Greenville, SC? - 07/20/11 01:39 PM
On July 13th 8 institutions, including Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Wells Fargo and Citigroup, met a deadline for submitting detailed action plans on how they will be handling distressed mortgage loans (short sales and foreclosures). The details of these plans, submitted by major banks and other home-loan servicers, were handed in to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which regulates national banks. At this point, all details of any such plans to handle massive numbers of short sales and foreclosures are being held confidential.
July of 2011 was also significant as a very large number … (0 comments)

simpsonville: Homes for Sale in Greenville & Simpsonville, SC; Buyers Should Trust an Expert Realtor who Works with Foreclosures and Short Sales in Today's Challenging Real Estate Market! - 06/22/11 01:04 PM
Let's face it, everyone wants a great deal in today's buyer's market and an ever increasing majority of the transactions in today's real estate market often involve either a short sale or a foreclosed property.
The problem is that not all realtors are skilled in effectively navigating through the process of either a short sale or a foreclosure. Therefore, they are actually doing their clients a great disservice!
Lately it seems to be almost on a weekly basis I find myself dealing with another realtor in my market who shares with me some variation of the comment; "I've been selling real … (0 comments)

simpsonville: Greenville, SC, Simpsonville, SC, Best Prices on Concrete Driveways, Patios, Screened Porches, Decks and Wooden Fences - 03/01/11 12:30 PM
As a real estate professional, I am constantly working with a diverse network of service providers. It amazes me how much money I can save people when they're contemplating the installation of a new concrete walkway, driveway, extra parking pad, etc. The most popular thing I come across is people craving a "real" patio versus the silly little 10X10 patio they got with the home they purchased. People love having a real patio installed in their yard, off the back door. For example I recently helped someone who wanted a 15X30 patio. Now, they're building a screened porch on it and … (0 comments)

simpsonville: Why do Short Sales Typically Fail? Notes from a Short Sale Listing Agent in Greenville, SC - 08/17/10 09:45 AM
As a CDPE I often help clients avoid foreclosure by listing their home for sale and negotiating for a short sale approval from their lender. I've helped clients avoid foreclosure in Greenville, Simpsonville, Greer, Mauldin, Fountain Inn, Travelers Rest, Taylors and Easley, SC.
While Greenville and Simpsonville, SC hasn't suffered with distressed properties to the same degree as places like Florida, CA, AZ, Las Vegas, OH and Detroit, we certainly have had a noticeable increase in these types of distressed property listings.
I've noticed some of the most common reasons that short sales typically fail, or at least why any given … (2 comments)

simpsonville: Upside down by about $5k to $6k? Use the $6500 tax credit to help close the gap! - 11/22/09 11:02 PM
I recently had a listing appointment whereas the homeowner would need to bring about $6000 to closing, assuming we sold the home at fair market value. At first the homeowner was somewhat concerned about this scenario, until we discovered they were eligible for the $6500 move up tax credit. How awesome is that? The homeowner was very, very pleased to learn that things could work out, and it would be a wash in the end, without them suffering so much cash out of pocket!
Use the tax credit as a tool to help close the gap in situations where the homeowner … (3 comments)

simpsonville: Say it loud...say it proud...$6500 move up tax credit for existing homeowners! - 11/22/09 10:47 PM
I'm finding out that many people I'm meeting with who are potential listing clients who will buy a home after they sell have not heard about the $6500 tax credit available to them. Most first time home buyers seem to have their ear to the ground with respect to their $8000 tax credit, but this level of awareness is not always present with existing homeowners. I suggest treating this $6500 tax incentive with equal importance as the $8k tax incentive when speaking to buyers or listing clients. Get the word out there and leverage this thing to help your clients and … (2 comments)
