naples short sales: First Short Sale closing - 10/19/08 07:17 PM
Finally.... Finally.... Finally..... that's all I can think when I go over in my mind the last 6 months with this one short sale listing. The seller was great, the buyer was great, the agent for the buyer was great.... guess who was the pain in the neck????
Country Wide was the first disfunctional institution, then the second mortgage was held by a smaller bank, Third Federal. With all the news, all the documentation and all the personal information shared to all, we never got a call back from either bank. All the calls were made by the seller's attorney and their … (3 comments)

naples short sales: Naples, FL Mortgage lenders: How do short sales affect your credit score? - 07/18/08 05:08 PM
I am getting mixed answers on the question regarding how a short sale will affect your credit score.
All of the information I am sharing, what I heard, comes from lender's, not from everybody who has an opinion. From all of this.... I know nothing. If anybody can offer some facts that are updated or from personal experience, please share----
I was told that a short sale would affect your credit score for 7 yrs., compared to a forclosure that would affect it for 10 yrs.  This was last year. The other week, I was told that this situation is so wide … (0 comments)

naples short sales: Real Estate Buyers in Naples, FL - 07/15/08 10:41 PM
Naples, FL. Again, sales up from last years numbers, but potential buyer's down here in Naples, FL seem to be adopting some very "peculiar" behavior. I have a feeling that the national news has a lot to do with it, but it throws me never-the-less. Buyers seem a bit nervous. They just don't feel confident with their decision making process. Well, folks, A DEAL IS A DEAL. 
Short Sales. Buyers are looking for a "deal". Great -- we can find them for you. Please understand, for a short sale, the seller needs approval from the lender to qualify and then the property has to … (0 comments)

naples short sales: Naples, Fl Short Sale Bargain - 06/30/08 08:02 AM
Another Buyer walked away! Yes, it took the lender (Countrywide of course)- more than 60 days to get a response and a counter for this buyer, but the buyer knew, from the beginning when signing the contract that it probably would take up to 90 days and they would counter and be prepared to pay more than the offer - (I know the lenders have a ratio to work with depending on the appraisal)--- The list price in the mls was very low to draw people in, but the lender still came down from that so, in truth --it truly is … (1 comments)

naples short sales: Short Sale - more drama - 06/27/08 07:35 PM
another week waiting for our lender to get back to us - either with acceptance of an offer submitted or a counter ---(the appraisal was done by the lender on 5/8 -contract submitted to lender 4/23).
Well - after us (the owner and attorney) doing all the calling -- often refusing to get off the phone until we get the next person in charge at the lender --- finally got a counter -- more than 60 days later and the buyer walks!
Now, we all know how the lender's are not helping these situations, but let me tell you about, yet another … (6 comments)

naples short sales: More Short Sale information in Naples, FL - 06/07/08 09:19 AM
One of my past blogs has sent me a handful of phone calls from the public looking for guidance on a short sale. They all seem to be in the same situation, can't keep up with the monthly fee's, taxes, etc.... while still trying to sell their property. Here is some information I hope is helpful. We are all kind of working through all the details on this "new" option, but every transaction is different with challenges we cannot foresee before they come up.
**** You must qualify for a short sale. You must have a situation of hardship and be willing … (0 comments)
