You have been marketing a home and you are trying to stop the foreclosure with a short sale. It is important that you price the home close to the payoff in the very beginning. The price needs to be adjusted about every other week downward until you get an offer.

Closing Day of a Real Estate Transaction - 04/30/08 01:15 AM
Closing Day of a Real Estate Transaction, is it a good day for surprises? How can surprises be eliminated. Simply with communication. Communication with the lender, the title company, the Realtors, and the buyer and seller. I have a closing in 11 hours. The surprises were yesterday, not today. I was on the phone all day. First with the lender and title company to get the settlement amount that the buyers needed to have in a bank check at closing. It turns out that the buyer's funds were in an out of state bank, no they can't write a check. The … (6 comments)

Selling Your Home? Give it a Fighting Chance! - 04/30/08 12:20 AM
I was recently asked to market a home that had been neglected for years. I did the owner a great service by neglecting to list the home before it was ready. The interior was filthy and needed cleaning. The home owners past tenants were not good house keepers. We waited 3 weeks for the work to be completed. I feel that this is the best policy when it comes to marketing a home. The home deserves to shown looking its best. Most everything was done with sweat equity and a few gallons of paint. Time will tell, but I believe that … (6 comments)

A Preliminary HUD when listing a Short Sale Is a Good Idea. - 04/29/08 10:43 PM
A Preliminary HUD when listing a Short Sale Is a Good Idea. I usually have my title company do a preliminary HUD 1 when I list a short sale. Just reticently, I am representing a buyer on a short sale. The negotiation has gone on for almost 4 months. We finally got an approval. While we were doing our home inspection, loan final approval, and appraisal, the listing agent calls and informs me that there is an additional $10,000 lien on the property and he now has to negotiate that. My client is now spending money, and this closing isn't for … (12 comments)

Who owns the Appliances in a home that is abandoned. - 04/19/08 11:45 AM
With homeowners abandoning their homes because of foreclosure looming, I am seeing more and more homeowners stripping the appliances. Weren't the appliances sold with the home? So aren't the appliances mortgaged along with the home? Thus making them the property of the lender.
Where do people get off stripping the appliances out of the home they are abandoning? I have a short sale where this recently has taken place. I am going to have a hard time getting an offer on this home and I am afraid I will not be able to save the homeowner from foreclosure. Holes were left in … (13 comments)

A Short Sale That Left Me Smiling. - 04/10/08 07:32 PM
I listed a home 11 months ago. I stepped down the price as the market fell. Starting at $119,000 and when I hit $99,000 I got an offer. When I went over the offer with my client, she was distraught that he had to come out of pocket to sell the home. The offer was for $95,000 and the note was $113,000.
We got into the conversation about possibly short selling it. Now not a payment had not been missed. But we had a cash offer. The home was vacant and the monthly mortgage payment was a financial hardship. So I put … (8 comments)

Buyers Remorse - 04/02/08 11:09 AM
Buyers remorse. Most buyers that sign a purchase agreement usually feel a a wave of anxiety. They question their judgment, is this the right home for my family, did I pay too much, or can I really afford the payments. Buyer's remorse is completely normal.
During the current market, buyer's always ask themselves if they waited, would they have gotten a better deal? Then there is friends and family, they always know someone  who paid less for the same exact home. Instead of congratulating you on your new home ownership,  they become experts in Real Estate and your purchase was ill advised.
