It was back in November when I received the phone call from the homeowner at 15000 Alaska Rd in Woodbridge Virginia. The homeowner was frustrated. He explained that he had previously entered into a loan modification with his Chase Bank only to fall behind once again. His bank suggested he do a short sale. Below you can begin to see the problem. His home value dropped from $399,900 to less than $135,000.

short sale: Another great example why a home buyer needs to get automatic email alerts - 12/29/11 07:23 PM
Early this year we had buyer clients who fell in love with a home, however they did not get their offer in fast enough. They never got up to bat so to speak.They were so upset. They finally found a large home in their pre-approved price range of $200,000 or less. The reason they were smitten with this home is it had a big flat fenced rear yard. Now, they would have to keep looking... Fast forward a few months. The buyers were receiving email alerts from our automatic home finder system everyday.

short sale: Selling by short sale with two loans can prove challenging...especially if you are with Bank of America and USAA. - 12/19/11 06:08 PM
Finally it's SOLD! I have been assisting a family in the Westridge Subdivision with the sale of their home. The sellers called me after they had watched Erick and Company recently list and sell two homes in the acreage section off Tilney Ct . Both Tilney Ct sellers had tried sell and failed, prior to hiring Erick and Company . What makes this listing different is , the homeonwers were upside down.The challenge was they had two loans. Bank of America is the first loan and USAA is the junior lien holder ( aka-the second trust mortgage) As luck would have it, the sellers were eligible for the HAFA Program. This is a huge advantage for the … (3 comments)
