Why Short Sales fail or better yet Why Short Sales succeed?!
I'm always hearing or reading about failing Short Sales. I don't know about you but I like to view the glass as half full and not half empty.
Sure there are reasons why a Short Sale can fail yet isn't it better to inform Sellers, Buyers and Agents that Short Sales can succeed. This puts the Short Sale in a whole different mindset which is one of winning and not losing.
As Real Estate Agents, we can all begin by assuming that a Short Sale can close. Have you … (5 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: What's your plan? Should you sell your home as a Short Sale? - 08/19/10 04:15 PM
There's no kidding anybody that times continue to be tough for many Americans, particularly those here in South Florida in towns of Coral Springs south to Plantation and beyond, in fact. In fact, just today we heard of the continued rise in the rate of weekly unemployment rates hitting a high of 500,000 claims. Perhaps, you know someone or are that someone who has been struggling to make ends meet. Have you tried this or considered this yet:
Maxed out your credit cards to pay your mortgage, essentially robbing Peter to pay Paul Contacted your Lender in hopes of having your … (2 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: "I just can't make my mortgage payments any longer" - Is this you? - 11/14/09 10:19 PM
Act now and avoid foreclosure.
Times are really tough. Unemployment rates have reached double digits. More and more families are
struggling to make ends meet. Many of you in Coral Springs and surrounding Broward County cities
need to sell your homes but you owe more than what your home is worth. What do you do?
If you have sufficient income your Lender may qualify you to have your loan modified. Whereas, some of you may not qualify for a loan modification. If you don't qualify for a loan modification, you can consider selling your home as a Short Sale. Where do you … (4 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: When do you quit trying with a Short Sale? - 10/02/09 07:35 PM
What happens when you receive a Buyer's offer for a home listed as a Short Sale and initially the Lender says "NO"? If I'm representing that Seller, the offer that has been submitted is an offer that I can support, believe in and I will fight for its approval. This case story has topped my experiences of drama for a distressed Sellers property here in South Florida. And the fight goes way beyond that first "No".
Grab a seat and let me tell you the story.
1st Buyer's offer:
This first offer submitted was rejected by the Lender. I went back to the … (13 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: New pricing strategy; It will work for you! - 09/22/09 06:22 PM
It's everywhere you look, this pricing strategy. It's guaranteed to send your homeowner right into the tailspin of foreclosure; List a property and freeze the price.
I see it all the time whether I'm working with Sellers or Buyers. How are Buyers and Sellers affected:
It can be a great thing if I'm looking for Buyers who want to purchase a fabulous new home as this property whose price hasn't been touched is probably overpriced thereby overlooked by most Buyers and allows my Buyer to uncover it. Yet, it hurts the Seller of this property as a Buyer who could be buying the … (45 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: I want your valuation system - 09/18/09 06:40 PM
Some will claim that they can put a value on a property within 15 minutes, some take a few hours and some know right away. I'm floored with the last one who claims to know right away.
I ran into this today when I followed up on a Short Sale package that I submitted to a Lender and 1 minute into the call they came back at me that my offer will never work because they value the property at twice as much - Gosh, how did they do that? Wow, they're fast!
Of course, I reserved my impulse to … (2 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: What happens when you specialize in Short Sales? - 09/06/09 10:16 PM
I've been reading here on AR the why's of why we participate in Short Sales. I just read Broker Bryants post and it moved me to elaborate here myself.
As many have said it's not just about earning a living. It is oh so much more. To play an active part in making a genuine difference in someone's life who is suffering from finanical and emotional stress is truly rewarding. When you know that what you are doing daily in your job can make a real difference in the life of others, this is what we're here for; this is so important … (12 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: So you're desperate to sell a home? Give me my key back! - 09/06/09 05:30 PM
I received a call today from a Realtor showing one of my Listings: ".....I couldn't show your listing today because when I got there the key wasn't in the lock box..." WHAT? It was there for the last Realtor, or was it?
The activity on the property has picked up due to a recent price reduction and there was another showing scheduled in two hours. I promptly phoned the next Realtor to let him know about the missing key. He told me that he actually had a chance to go by earlier and when he got there he too couldn't show it … (70 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: Short Sale Rumor Mill - 05/23/09 06:36 PM
Check the facts when it comes to Short Sales. A recent post by Wendy Rulnick, Seller ruins credit on False Short Sale Information, prompted this post by me as Wendy had described a horrible short sale story.
Whenever there is the misfortune of individuals, you'll have "helpers" running rampant and along with them are all the rumors. These "helpers" can come in the shape of individuals who think they're helping and really don't have any malicious intent and then there are "helpers" who see an individual weakened by an unfortunate circumstance and are going in for the jugular; the latter "helper" … (0 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: I love Short Sales - Yes you heard me right! Don't you love 'em?! - 05/18/09 06:02 PM
Loving life and Short Sales! Yes, you did hear me right.
Quite some time ago, I chose to focus on helping the distressed homeowner. I wanted my Real Estate career to really be about helping others as I've been so blessed in my life. At the time, people thought me to be crazy. They asked why would you want to devote so much of your time to such a tough task with no guarantees. And then when I said I would do the negotiations myself, people thought me to be even crazier! I really, truly had the passion for wanting to … (2 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: My Short Sale Seller got a check at closing! - 05/17/09 05:31 PM
I just closed on a HUD approved Short Sale. As part of its Pre Foreclosure Sale program, Sellers are entitled to an incentive to avoid foreclosure.
The max that they could have received was $750 as an incentive. However, there were costs on the settlement statement that weren't allowed totaling $570 so this reduced their max of $750 to $180. But, by all means, a distressed Seller definitely would be pleased to get a check at closing for $180. Especially when just a few days ago they had a baby. I was happy to be delivering additional good news that a check … (8 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: One Seller, One Buyer, Short Sale approval and the kiss of death: an Appraisal - 04/29/09 05:30 PM
Most often we hear of difficulty in gaining a Short Sale approval from a Seller's Lender. That isn't the case for me as I've been very fortunate in getting my Short Sales approved; all of them. In fact, I'm working on one that has had the same One Buyer and has been approved two times and now I'm working on getting it approved for a third time. Yep, you heard correctly! How could that be or better yet why?
We call it the Kiss of death appraisal.
Here's the story:
My Seller's home was listed for sale and we received a nice … (8 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: I couldn't help this time - 04/27/09 09:53 PM
I've been very fortunate to obtain a lot of business from Active Rain and have been rewarded many times over by helping many a distressed homeowner. However, a recent event left me feeling really bad that I couldn't help.
An out of state distressed homeowner found me online here at Active Rain and reached out to me for some guidance. He's part of a young family with just him, his wife and small infant child. He and his family came across hard times and had reached out to his Lender to try to come to a solution. He had been speaking … (0 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: Short sale approval by EMC in less than 30 days - 04/26/09 08:04 PM
I just recently obtained a Short Sale approval on a unique Short Sale scenario and it was completed really fast - in 29 days. I've been so busy with getting offers on my Short Sale Listings and getting approvals on my Short Sale Listings that I'm happy to say that I just love working with Short Sales and getting them closed.
This homeowner was a bit different in that the home had already been through a bankruptcy and the homeowner had its debt discharged yet she wanted to do the right thing and try to sell it.
The process was a bit different in … (10 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: How many curve balls have you experienced in a Short Sale? - 03/26/09 07:58 PM
You must be really good at catching the CURVE BALLS of Short Sales if you want to survive.
Sometimes I wonder if I would love doing Short Sales if there weren't for the curve balls. I wonder what that says about me?! It must be the challenge that I love; the point at which you come to a screaching halt in the Short Sale approval process when somebody or something says "no".
Well, it has happened on a recent Short Sale here in Coral Springs. I had received written approval from the Seller's Lender for the sales offer, the Buyer's inspection … (25 comments)

broward county short sale realtor: So you want to send Short Sales to the Moon?! - 02/14/09 10:39 PM
Post after post, comment after comment throws a Short Sale transaction in the trash. Oh, I get so frustrated!.....as it just isn't so. They're here, there now and they're closing! If an Agent is involved in them from the Seller or Buyer side and they aren't working there is probably a good chance that it is not being handled properly; quite simple.
SHORT SALES OFFER THESE BENEFITS:
Save homeowners from foreclosure Lessen Lender losses Cushion the neighborhoods' property values from declining from massive foreclosure overload Give Buyers an opportunity of home ownership at a great price Plus many more. It is … (4 comments)
