It has happened again. In reading the Sun Sentinel Broward County edition this morning, another story appeared where a struggling young couple was supposed to have lost their home at auction on Friday due to their home being in foreclosure. What's worse is that this is a young Marine who was stationed in Fallujah, Iraq and came back with injuries - where is his support? (That is a whole other blog post subject.) Their story clearly illustrated a hardship which would qualify them for a Short Sale.
It's just heart wrenching seeing this over and over again. So why do distressed homeowners like these who live in Sunrise Florida not seek out alternatives? These homeowners aren't alone here in Broward County like their distressed neighbors in Coral Springs, other cities and counties all over are going through the same thing. For that matter, nationwide, families are experiencing this.
So why can't we get the Lenders to play an important part and recommend Short Sales when loan modifications don't work out? They know that the majority of the time a Short Sale is beneficial for all parties over foreclosure. Don't they get it!
So why can't we get this information out to the public on how a Short Sale could possibly help them? We see all the devastating stories of what individuals and families are going through yet we aren't seeing the devastating stories with favorable outcomes. There are favorable outcomes and it's called a Short Sale. Are we a doom and gloom nation of news? (Another whole other blog post) Let's hear those stories so the word gets out. It could start with us here on Active Rain. We could tell more of our case studies that get approved. I just had two approved this week.
So back to the homeowners struggling to make mortgage payments, don't let your home be foreclosed on. Seek out options.
The more you know, the better prepared, the better the outcome.

We all like to think of ourselves as being wise and doing the right thing. What is it about life's desperate times that throws our wisdom out the window?
Many are experiencing very trying times as unemployment rates increase. Here in Florida they're approaching double digits. I bet the majority of us know someone affected by unemployment and being that our profession is Real Estate we all know how unemployment affects home ownership.
Many homeowners are doing all that they can to avoid foreclosure; they'll try to get their loan modified and if that fails they'll look to doing a Short Sale on their home. I've dealt with many a desperate homeowner who have reached out to me to help them in their times of trouble; they're showing the characteristic of wisdom.
Then there are others that buckle under the stress and throw it all to the wind. Such is the case, when foreclosure is threatening. How many homes go into foreclosure because a homeowner just gives up? They don't call their Lender, they don't look for options and they just do desperate things. Why do so many suffer from this condition of falling prey to desperate measures? Too bad there isn't a pill for wisdom. I imagine if there would be a pill our rates of foreclosure would be a lot less and we'd probably being seeing a lot more homes being sold as a Short Sale or loans being modified.
Why are we wiser when everything is going well for us?
If we experience enough desperate things in our lives do we eventually become wiser? Hhhmmm, is this what wisdom is all about? So when I tell my teenage son that wisdom comes with age, it really is a fact isn't it? Or does it come by the number of desperate things that one must endure?
Too bad that deperate times bring so many to do desperate things.

People who know me, know that I'm about the details. I try to make sure my "I's" are dotted and my "T"s" are crossed. I guess it drives some people crazy.
I'm working on a Short Sale and I'm getting close to another anticipated approval but before doing so I need to amend the contract to the new agreed upon price of $3000 more to be signed by Buyer and Seller as countered by Seller's Lender. Simple right?; Buyer and Seller agree to the new purchase price of $278,000.
The Buyer's Agent sends in the "Simple Addendum" with a few more details added in. She's now adding that we must close within 15 days and there can be no contingencies - Ahh, just details. I was told that I'm worrying too much about the details when I told the Buyer's Agent that her added details aren't acceptable. Primarily, we haven't been given the final written approval yet by the Seller's Lender so we are still working with a contingency and to have a famiily pack up in 15 days when this was never agreed upon to begin with is a big detail.
So when I questioned the Agent and said that we need to remove those items, her response was that I'm worrying too much about the details. Ha, I about fell off my chair.Sales contracts, addendum's and disclosures are all about the details. Details do make a difference.
Are you detail oriented? Isn't our industry detail oriented? Gosh, details can make a huge difference. I'll keep checking the details.
