charlotte real estate agent: Charlotte Short Sale Homes over $400K in value...is a snap! - 03/17/11 04:03 PM
Luxury Short Sales in Charlotte Sell Quickly.... I know what you are thinking but if you have a primary home mortgaged under $2Million and you are behind on payments, have a hardship or in danger of defaulting...think about a short sale...PRETTY EASY STUFF.... Every property that we have sold over the $350K mark...with 2 liens or less..has worked out...and we have closed dozens over this price point...WHY DO THEY SELL SO EASILY YOU ASK? Well....here is my theory... 1-usually no M/I 2-usually the folks make no where near the money they did when they obtained the loan and therefore, just

charlotte real estate agent: In A Service Industry...Don't Take Your Business For Granted... - 02/24/11 04:40 PM
You know we have to go the extra mile these days...and all those small things add up...which is why I must say...QUICK, HONEST, EFFICIENT SERVICE IS WHAT IS WARRANTED AND NEEDED IN TODAYS REAL ESTATE MARKET....that includes MORTGAGE FOLKS ... Gone are the days when you can just "cherry pick" lets say...and so any real buyer should be treated like GOLD...case in point... Mortgage Chic took a week and 10 excuses to get me back an updated pre-approval, I called, I emailed, I explained I needed it or the Negotiator would close the file...A DARN WEEK? I happen to know...they take 2

charlotte real estate agent: Charlotte & Lake Norman Short Sale Leaders - 01/03/11 01:13 PM
MELISSA POLCE & JUSTIN SCIRANKO, BROKERS, KELLER WILLIAMS REALTY Agents That Have Real Life Experience in Short Sales The short sale agent handles complex negotiations with the bank. If the agent has no experience dealing with loss mitigation and negotiators, the seller is the person who may suffer. Short sales require a ton of work and mortgage knowledge. This is far from the regular Real Estate transaction...whom you choose to represent you will make the difference in getting the deal done or possibly foreclosing. Novices should not handle short sales. Short Sales require Agents that are experienced in not only marketing the

charlotte real estate agent: What Service Are Some Real Estate Listing Agents Actually Providing? - 05/03/10 10:59 AM
Just as the 8K tax credit was expiring, I was showing property to a 1st Time Home Buyer...we later wrote an offer on a home that had been listed almost a year at close to the same price...Not being able to reach the small RE Agency on the phone, I had no one to ask about the pricing of the home...when we did finally talk to someone, he simply said in our OFFER OF over 90% asking offer that he was unsure...after he got with his folks, they came back at 5K off list price of $255K and said "ANYTHING ELSE WILL MAKE THEM

charlotte real estate agent: McAdenville, NC is Christmas Town USA & A Must See Tradition... - 12/11/09 01:01 PM
The Gaston County town of McAdenville has transformed into Christmas Town USA. For the 54th straight year, hundreds of buildings in the town are decorated with lights and other holiday displays. The switch to turn it all on was flipped at 4 p.m. McAdenville's lights - which annually attract an estimated 300,000 vehicles - date back to 1956, when Pharr Yarns installed lights at its plant and worked with residents to put lights on homes. The lights will be on from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. weekdays and from 5:30 to 11 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through Dec. 26. This

charlotte real estate agent: First Time Homebuyers Will Turn Into First Time Home Sellers - 11/23/09 12:10 PM
First-time buyers get all of the attention, don't they? They get tax credits, have special programs designed especially for them and they have agents market directly to them. That doesn't seem fair, does it? Well, first-time sellers rejoice! You are no longer being ignored. I get it. First-time buyers eventually turn into first-time sellers. What happens when you're ready to move-up or you outgrow your current digs? An agent was there to help you through the buying process, but what now? Do you stick a For Sale By Owner sign in the yard? Do you call the agent that

charlotte real estate agent: The Probable Bottle Neck of Real Estate - 11/20/09 09:54 AM
The thought is the recession is over....I just don't agree...with 14% of homeowners missing a mortgage payment or in pre-foreclosure, jobless rates at an all time high and credit restrictions and guidelines getting harder and harder to obtain a loan...I say we are headed for a huge bottleneck(if we aren't already there). I don't want to be a Debbie Downer but I really think the banks will need to ease up on some of the lending guidelines to get more inventory both distressed and otherwise off the books...Plenty of good candidates out there to buy homes but when that person has

charlotte real estate agent: Selling Agents Watch Out For The New Buyer Scams - 11/19/09 11:52 AM
As it just bit me in the butt...I had a Short Sale contract ready to close...it was a cash deal...you don't get many of those and I was happy to see this property finally get sold...UNTIL... It did not close...why you ask? Because of the new scam, buyers who can print phony POF letters off a website only to try and flip a new buyer before they close...same bad scam only now they sites have perfected the art and found the loopholes... They even say on these sites that Short Sales & Foreclosures are the best to go after...these 2 property types

charlotte real estate agent: Buyers Agents Must Learn Some Patience on Short Sales - 11/19/09 11:45 AM
I admit, listing Short Sales is probably alot better than having the buyers on a Short Sale...I always know the information first but I also hear the complaints... I would like to think I am good at this but then you have the occasional basket case agent who ruffles the feathers of the process...IT IS A PROCESS...ONE THAT TAKES ALOT OF HANDS,PATIENCE & PRACTICE FOR APPROVALS...AND A LITTLE TIME. I send out disclosures on my properties to agents, PLEASE LET YOUR BUYER KNOW ABOUT THE SHORT SALE PROCESS...Sometimes they get what I am saying, sometimes, they make it worse. I

charlotte real estate agent: From Your Realtor: Banks Are Getting Better Grades on Lending - 11/16/09 02:19 PM
Banks Are Getting Better Grades on Lending... Better, "but we're not satisfied. We want to see banks doing more." That's the verdict from the Treasury's man overseeing how big banks, like San Francisco's Wells Fargo & Co., are helping the estimated 3.25 million American homeowners at "imminent risk" of default. Herbert Allison, assistant secretary for financial stability, was commenting on the latest report card, released Tuesday, on how the government's Making Home Affordable Program is doing to alleviate the nation's foreclosure crisis. As of the end of October, according to the report, more than 650,000 borrowers, or 20 percent of
