short sale: Perseverance in Elk Grove Short Sales - 01/11/12 11:48 AM
Perseverance is defined as "steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement."  We have found that this is very important when dealing with Elk Grove Short Sales! 
Some Elk Grove Short Sales can be very easily negotiated with the banks, especially if there is only a first loan on the property.  However, there are others that it definitely takes "perserverance" to get them closed!  I believe that our team has been successful in closing our Elk Grove Short Sale listings because of this!
Take for example, the home … (0 comments)

short sale: Questions from a possible Elk Grove Short Sale... - 01/06/12 11:06 PM
So, I had a conversation this evening with a possible Elk Grove Short Sale seller.  This was his question...."I know that modifications don't work from experience, and I have heard that short sales are not any better.  Why should I even try? And can you even get one done?"....
Ok, so he has only a first loan and is 6 months behind in his payments; the lender has not filed a notice of default yet!  However, he has received a notice that his lender is going to file a notice within the next 21 days.
He wanted to know how successful we … (0 comments)

short sale: Foreclosure fears of Elk Grove homeowners - 12/05/11 09:16 AM
Foreclosure fears foster true grief in Elk Grove homeowners...
Did you know that over 65% of homeowners who lose their home to foreclosure, don't even speak to a Realtor about the possibility of a Short Sale or their other options? 
Reports of foreclosures by the millions have been in the news so much over the past few years that to some, it might seem like the new normal. 
But as a real estate professional who is in the trenches in Elk Grove, CA with financially stressed homeowners every day, it never for a second feels to me like business-as-usual.

short sale: Elk Grove Short Sales - taking another look - 11/22/11 09:32 AM
It’s time to take another look at short sales
With short sales in Elk Grove making up over 50% of the market, it is important for agents, buyers and sellers to keep themselves updated on what is happening in the short sale world.
As recently as a few months ago, if you would have told a Elk Grove real estate agent who specializes in short sales that they’d be raving about a lender’s stellar service and rapid approval times—not to mention significant cash incentives for financially strapped homeowners for pursuing a short sale—you’d have gotten some strange looks.
That’s all changed.  And … (0 comments)

short sale: Another Elk Grove homeowner saved from foreclosure! - 10/10/11 12:21 PM
On Friday, we closed anotherElk Grove short sale and saved another Elk Grove homeowner from foreclosure!  This was a particularly tough and emotional short sale due to the divorce of the seller.  When we started the short sale process back in April of this year on this lovely 2 story home on acreage, we knew it was going to be a tough one.  However, we are always up for a challenge!
On the surface it did not seem that tough...2 loans with Citi Mortgage - a purchase money first and an equity line of credit.  The equity line of credit however … (0 comments)

short sale: Elk Grove Short Sales - Another FAQ - 05/09/11 10:46 PM
We have listed and closed a lot of Elk Grove Short Sales and during the process, this question often comes up -
Can I stay in the house?  Or how long can I stay in my house?
One thing that is important for distressed homeowners to understand, is that the key word in Short Sale is sale.  The purpose of a short sale is obviously to get the home SOLD and relieve the homeowner of the hardship of the payments.  This is not a program that will stop the foreclosure proceedings and all you to keep the home indefinitely.  This being … (0 comments)

short sale: Elk Grove Short Sales - Avoid these 5 mistakes - 05/01/11 10:22 AM
Elk Grove homeowners facing foreclosure often times don't know where to turn.  Hardships such as job loss, divorce, medical emergencies, predatory lending have left many homeowners unable to meet their mortgage payments.  Don't make these 5 critical mistakes we often see homeowners make when faced with hardship.
1.  Attempting a loan modification or short sale sale without consulting with a Realtor and an Attorney before they start.
2.  Not answering phone calls or opening mail from your lender.
3.  Paying up front fees to someone who promises to save your home or lower your mortgage payment.
4.  Walking away from your … (1 comments)

short sale: Elk Grove Short Sales and Bank of America - Are they up to their old tricks? - 03/11/11 09:41 PM
We have had a lot of luck closing Bank of America short sales over the past year.  With the Equator system the approval time and the ease of the short sale process with Bank of America has greatly improved in my opinion. 
However, we currently have an Elk Grove Short Sale with a Bank of America HELOC loan as a second and we are having some serious trouble with it.  Unfortunately, we seem to be at a stand still now after 2 months of negotiating and being 2 weeks away from closing!  I decided today to try to move things past the … (0 comments)

short sale: Another Elk Grove Short Sale Success! - 03/05/11 11:49 AM
Another Elk Grove Short Sale success this past week!  It feels great when we can help an Elk Grove homeowner avoid foreclosure and get out from under their mortgage payments which they can no longer afford. 

 
8663 Blue Maiden Way, Elk Grove
This home had 2 loans on it and we were able to successfully negotiate with both lenders to sell the home on a short sale.
Total days on the market was only 100!  That includes marketing time, negotiating time and closing escrow!  So just over 3 months to complete this Elk Grove Short Sale.
 
These Elk … (0 comments)

short sale: Sacramento Short Sale closed with happy seller! - 02/25/11 11:07 PM
Another Sacramento short sale closed this week!  It's very rewarding to close a Sacramento Short Sale because we are helping distressed homeowners avoid foreclosure. It feels great to successfully negotiate with the bank or bank(s). This Sacramento short sale was a Bank of America loan and was negotiated through the Equator system. 
It was even more rewarding when the seller sent us the following note by email today -
"Andrea and I are so pleased to finally be done. We greatly appreciate all the work you all have done to help us with this short-sale. We have been extremely impressed with the level … (2 comments)

short sale: Elk Grove Short Sale - another homeowners saved from foreclosure! - 02/10/11 10:44 AM
It's been a great week for us with our Elk Grove short sales - 2 short sale approvals (one with Bank of America and one with Wells Fargo) and 1 closed so far this week, with another one closing shortly!  It is a great feeling to help Elk Grove homeowners avoid foreclosure! 
The Elk Grove short sale that closed yesterday came to us in October with only 10 days to go before the Trustee Sale date.  I thought at that point it was probably too late to stop the foreclosure and I told the seller that.  However, we told them we would do … (0 comments)
