ma real estate attorney: Short Sale Advice / The Danger of Investor Buyers - 01/10/10 08:11 AM
Thank You Active Rain for the leads and coverage. In 2009! . . The game has dramatically changing for 2010 and it seems that we are getting to a slow start in the greater Springfield, MA area -
One category of transactions that continues to thrive is the "short sale". What makes one short sale approval move faster than another is often a mystery. The lenders holding these mortgages are themselves unstable. It is an inconsistent process from bank to bank and I am sure that many would agree that one success with a lender does not necessarily mean success … (5 comments)

ma real estate attorney: You connect on AR (Active Rain), but what about your RA (Realtor Association)? - 03/16/09 10:34 PM
As a real estate atorney I have been fortunate with my on-line marketing. However, nothing has been more rewarding than my personal relationships with loan officers and Realtors. One of the easiest places to make these connections is your local Realtor Association.
For many years I belonged to the RAPV Realtor Association of Pioneer Valley - main office in Springfield, MA. I never really felt like I was part of the community until I was invited to participate in an annual show that the RAPV put on . I have been involved every year since and see the events … (5 comments)

ma real estate attorney: Thanks for the excellent response Active Rain Community! - 03/11/09 09:21 PM
Just wanted to give a word of thanks to the members who took the time to respond to my post yesterday. I had asked what a small offfice attorney might do on a low budget to get started with an advertising campaign on the web. I was provided with multiple web sites that could assist in getting my own sites started and other great information. Some of the ideas were really inovated. The power of video on the web was explained to me and also the power of blogging in concert with a web site.
Sometimes it just takes a … (4 comments)

ma real estate attorney: Springfield MA Real Estate Attorney Goes Google - 03/10/09 09:58 PM
Over the past couple of months I have picked up a pair of books on Google SEO. I do not have my own website (only a company web site) I do not know HTML. I am just intrigued by the idea that I can inexpensively compete with other lawyers who do not blog or consider their website as important as I . . . would like to if I knew how! I am throwing this one out to the masses. Where does a lawyer with limited web experience begin in order to develop a few web sites that focus … (11 comments)

ma real estate attorney: Evaluating the Likely Success of a Short Sale - 03/10/09 08:46 PM
Over the past year I have been involved with approximately 100 short sale transactions in the Springfield Massachusetts area. (My real estate law practice is located in Springfield, Massachusetts. I have been practicing real estate law and conducted real estate closings for approximately 13 years.) Many of my short sale transactions have come through successfully and I am happy to say that this week I have three that look like they are "ripe" for settlement. In my experience, not all short sales are created equal and many are doomed to failure from the start. Others fail because of the "wrong pairing" … (0 comments)

ma real estate attorney: Refinancing with Massachusetts Real Estate Attorney - 02/15/09 08:56 AM
There is a great deal of confusion in the marketplace right now concerning refinancing. The first question that my clients usually ask is "Should I refinance?" Of course my answer is always "yes", how else will I make any money? (I am kidding, but consumers need to be careful who they ask for advice on this subject. The answer should not always be yes. . . )
Generally if refinancing will save a consumer money in the short run, it is an easy answer - however when I say "save money" I mean pay for itself in a short period … (0 comments)

ma real estate attorney: Distressed - 09/23/08 09:58 PM
I have declared 2008 the year of distress!
There's a crazy looking distressed image for ya. . .
Everything that I am working on has a "distressed" component. If it is not a distressed sale (short sale) or a distressed property (neglected REO bank owned), then I am working with a Buyer who has distressed credit.
In fact I would have to say that the distress is not just limited to the clients and property, but extends to the real state professionals that I am working with as well. Every day I speak with distressed Realtors who are despairing … (3 comments)
