I have been asking this question for the last few months. It's driving me crazy ! We work in the # 1 state for foreclosures, they should be on every street, buyers should have 100's of options when looking to buy, but they don't !! I searched our local MLS today and here is what I found. * 226 Ac...

After reading another Internet article today about buyers needing 20% down and bank owned homes needing 6 months to close, I want to scream ! This is partly what the article said: "Buyers might be able to get great deals on foreclosed homes, but purchasers are often required to put at least 20 pe...

Every day, several times a day we log into MLS to see what is new on the market for our buyers. WOW- When 75% or so of the new listings are " Short Sales" it does make you stop and wonder, just how many more are there to come?

They are really missing out on the great bank owned buys right now. With the tax credit getting close to expiring and rates certain to ris...

When we started in real estate over 5 years ago we knew we wanted a web site set up that would allow buyers to do their own searches without signing in. The research has been done a number of times and they have found over and over again that buyers, first and foremost want to do their own search...

Working with a buyer this week on the purchase of a bank owned home really brought home the point that working with an agents preferred lender is a REALLY good thing ! Our buyer had a pre-qual in hand from XYZlender before we started looking at homes. We found the perfect home, wrote an offer, go...

We represented buyers on a bank owned purchase and the close date was today. These were first time buyers that were VERY Excited to get the magic keys today. The smiles were endless. Their new payment matches their old rent payment. WOW now that is great to see ! Our market is finally at a place ...

We all have those listings that we take, price right, advertise right and do everything we can to sell it, but it just won't sell. As a listing agent you bang your head against a wall to try and figure out what is the missing ingredient that will sell that home? I am not sure in this market there...
