homes for sale: Alert !- Fake Short Pay Letters are coming up everywhere - Powerteamhomes.com - 10/17/11 06:53 PM
We are all aware of schemes in short sales from “Flipping” to “Flopping” and many others; now something else for Realtors to worry about: fake short pay letters from lenders. Nothing worse than having written a few contracts with a buyer and have the “good” one fall apart before the closing just because it was a scheme: so much work, time and effort and no payday.

The seller was in the process of negotiating a short sale with his lender, Bank of America,through the services of a third-party short sale negotiation company. … (2 comments)

homes for sale: Deep Thoughts on Election Madness - PowerTeamHomes.com - 10/18/10 12:15 PM
 
As we enjoy our second “late summer” I could not help but to take a moment and remember Nat King Cole singing about those “lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.” It may have been the last quiet moment as Nat was obviously not thinking about the 2010 primary election season in Illinois and all over the country.

Having done a lot of questioning and research on why "Short Sales" are taking soooo long, I have discovered the following that may prove helpful as you consider the opportunities available to your buyers or sellers.

homes for sale: The Truth on the New Home Buyer Tax Credit - 02/21/09 11:54 PM
While the proposed $15,000 home-buyer tax credit died in negotiations between the House and the Senate, the $787 billion stimulus bill that President Barack Obama signed into law Tuesday includes a similar--albeit smaller--measure designed to help revive our real estate market. Here are six things you need to know about the freshly-enacted $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit.

1. $8,000 for new buyers: The tax credit included in the economic stimulus legislation is much narrower than the $15,000.00 proposal. This credit is equivalent to 10 percent of the purchase price of the home--although it's capped at $8,000--and applies only … (0 comments)
