Submitted by Vicki Owens, ABR, CRS, GRI, SFR, Best Homes Real Estate, Marysville, Ohio

If you live in a community that has a Home Owners Association, you may be paying fees annually, quarterly or even monthly to your association to care for common areas of your neighborhood. … (0 comments)

move to marysville: More Lease Purchase Pitfalls - 12/12/08 06:57 PM
Submitted by Vicki Owens, ABR, CRS, GRI, Andy & Associates, Realtors, December 2008
With the market as tough as it has been, I have received yet more calls and emails from people who have had a lot of difficulty with their lease purchase arrangements. It unfortunately seems this always comes after the fact and always reiterates the reason why I always advise against these sort of agreements.
One gal contacted me who was at the end of her 2 year agreement. I spoke to her way back in 2006 when she was contemplating a home purchase. At that time, … (0 comments)

move to marysville: HUDS, Bank Owned & Short Sales, Oh My! - 12/07/08 08:27 AM
First & Foremost you need to know as a home buyer that buying one of these repossessed homes take a great deal of PATIENCE. Unfortunately, banks are not in the "instant gratification" business. We are so used to things happening fast. When an offer is made on one of these homes, it has to pass through MANY hands. The banks are overwhelmed with work with so many foreclosures available for sale. Because they are NOT in the real estate business, many systems have not been streamlined to provide timely answers to home buyers.
If you are right for it and do … (0 comments)

move to marysville: Short Sale or Not to Short Sale - 12/07/08 07:55 AM
That IS the question. So What Is A "Short Sale" Anyway?
A short sale is when the bank agrees to take less than what they are owed on a mortgage and forgive some of the debt in order to avoid foreclosure. The key is "to avoid foreclosure".
In this 21st Century market, many home owners that purchased their homes anywhere from 2001-2006 have come to find out that their values declined. VERY disappointing when so many were promised appreciation by super charged sales reps, real estate agents and mortgage lenders. But the best thing to do if you can ride out … (0 comments)
