mark horan: SHORT SALES IN KISSIMMEE, SAINT CLOUD, FLORIDA - 06/19/10 09:42 AM

SHORT SALES IN KISSIMMEE, SAINT CLOUD, FLORIDA are going to be a quick and viable way to purchase a home if all I have been hearing the past week is true. It seems the banks are going to start processing them faster in an effort to derail the foreclosure train that is headed their way. It only makes sense and we as Realtors have been perplexed by the way the Short Sales have been handled by lenders. Short Sales actually save the lender money and time.
The government has been intervening and trying to set up programs in hopes that the … (4 comments)

mark horan: A Short Sale That Left Me Smiling. - 04/10/08 12:32 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)

mark horan: Buyers Remorse - 04/02/08 04:09 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.

mark horan: SHORT SALES, THE MISCONCEPTIONS PART 1 - 11/18/07 12:36 PM

There are many misconceptions about short sales. I am going to try and give you a good idea of what constitutes a short sale. First of all, a short sale is only approved by the lien holders. Real Estate agents don’t make these decisions, homeowners don’t make this decision, and home buyers don’t make this decision. The lien holder has to feel that a short sale is in their best interest. They need to determine that they are going to take a loss and how to minimize it. The lender isn’t going to approve a short sale if the home owner … (10 comments)
