Real Estate Brokerage - 09/30/09 04:18 PM
Real Estate Brokerage Do you feel that the agents in the real estate brokerage offices are doing as much as they could to educate the buyers and the sellers regarding short sales? Todd Clark wrote a very interesting post today about buyers trying to purchase homes by making low offers (especially on short sales or foreclosures). While reading his post, I began to think about how well these folks have been educated. Does the real estate brokerage tell the buyers what happens when they attempt to purchase a home that is a short sale? This can be a nightmare. There is … (8 comments)

A Short Sale or Not? - 09/27/09 03:50 PM
Just yesterday, one of my agent-owners called me because she was a little confused as to whether the listing she was showing to her buyer was A Short Sale or Not. Let me give you a little background here.  My agent-owner has a listing that went under contract yesterday to close within 45 days. This seller is single and has 3 children.  My agent-owner had been showing this seller homes to purchase after the closing on her current home. The owner of our listing (our client) now becomes a buyer client.  This buyer client settled on a home she really likes … (24 comments)

To get a loan closed - no matter what? - 09/24/09 02:30 PM
To get a loan closed - no matter what?
It seems to me that I am seeing more and more of loan officers doing strange things to get a loan closed --- fraudulent things. What is the mortgage loan officer's duties?  Is it to get a loan closed, no matter what?  I don't think so. Who is teaching these loan officers?  They have to be learning these fraudulent tricks from someone --- I don't like it. I posted a yesterday  Can You Do What A Loan Officer tells you?   This was a story about a loan officer asking the potential buyer … (91 comments)

Can You Do What A Loan Officer Tells You? - 09/23/09 04:21 PM
 The answer to the question, can you do what a loan officer tells you, is  "yes and no". Quite simply, if a loan officer tells you "it is OK with me, but just don't put it on the contract or the HUD" --- it is NOT OK to do what that loan officer tells you. If you do, you are most likely committing fraud against the lender.  If it is not going to be fraud, why can't you put it on the contract as well as the HUD? If you work in my office, you are told to never do anything … (26 comments)

Real Estate Brokerage Sink or Swim? - 09/20/09 01:54 PM
 
 Real Estate Brokerage  sink or swim?
 
Real Estate Brokerage in Charleston, SC  is looking at the real issue -- are we going to sink or swim?  Charleston,as well as probably every other city in the United States, is having to look at this same situation. While I was watching the 2 South Carolina main college football teams play yesterday -- one mid day and the other last evening -- I started to think again about how much real estate brokerage and football teams are alike. If a football team does not play together, they will lose.  Football is … (6 comments)

Can One person broker more than 1 office? - 09/20/09 01:31 PM
 At least in SC, the state allows a person to be broker-in-charge of as many offices as the person feels they can handle?  What do you think that # is? I guess I'm still trying to figure this out.  Currently I am broker-in-charge of 6 offices --- Yes, it can be done.  Without all of the social networking and unbelievable Google, I don't think that I could do this.

Looking to do a short sale or a loan modification? The hardship letter is the key to success! (Along with tenacity from your agent) - 09/10/09 04:21 PM

Via Todd Clark (Broker/Sales Coach), GRI (Beaverton, Oregon Real Estate Expert) (Palazzo Realty Group):
One of the questions I get asked by sellers who are in trouble is how do I write a good hardship letter so the bank will accept their short sale or their loan modification? But, is there really a key to success when it comes to the hardship letter?

In my opinion… YES!
The key to the hardship letter is to explain exactly what got you in this hardship. Was it a job … (4 comments)
