A deficiency judgment after a Short Sale or Foreclosure? It appears from the article below from CNN Money it is very possible.

I ask has anyone heard of this yet?

Should you now be telling your short sale sellers this is possible?

If this happens then a bankruptcy maybe the only way out for many people.

What effect will this have on the real estate market long term if all the lenders start doing this?

This does not apply to many states and not in Arizona

 Monday, March 15  7 pm Gaslight 'Motown's Greatest Hits' concert. Motown Records along with Stax and Volt, contributed to the birth and sound of Soul music in the early 1960's. These powerhouse studios are responsible for the likes of Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, The Temptations and Wilson Pickett to name a few.

Sun City Vistoso is a 1000 acre active adult retirement community conveniently located northwest of Tucson, at the base of the Catalina Mountains in the Town of Oro Valley. The beautiful setting is only the beginning of the quality of the Sun City Vistoso community. With a population of over 4500 active adults, Sun City Vistoso offers a friendly hometown feeling - close enough to the city for convenience but far enough away for tranquility.

The amenities offered include an 18-hole championship golf course intricately blended with its desert base, miles of wide, clean streets and sidewalks ideal for walking and bicycling, and three recreational facilities that offer many programs and opportunities active adults enjoy.

The community, with 2488 homes (single family, garden villa and patio homes) was established in 1986 by the Del Webb Corporation. Control was turned over to Sun City Vistoso Community Association, Inc. in 1995. Sun City Vistoso is governed by a seven member Board of Directors elected by the residents with day to day operations managed by professional staff.

A few simple real estate tips for seniors

 

Real Estate Tips for Seniors

Richard Lecinski - Long Realty

Oro Valley - Tucson Arizona

 

Finding a real estate agent who understands the unique needs of older Americans is a crucial component in having a successful real estate transaction. Life changing events such as the passing of a loved one, illness, downsizing, and/or retirement are a unique set of issues that often accompany the buying and selling of property for older Americans.

Because this is an important and life changing decision, do not just pick a real estate agent out of the phone book, and/or stick with the first agent you meet - interview at least two agents. Make sure that you feel comfortable with the agent you will be working with. In the interview question the agents about their experience in handling clients dealing with the issues that you are dealing with. Try to get a sense of whether or not the agent would be sensitive to your needs; and make sure the agent is willing to deal with other family members if necessary.

When selecting an agent, discuss the percentages that the agent will charge you for selling your property. If an agent tells you he/she is charging you a "standard" percentage rate for services, be weary, this is false. A percentage rate is negotiable by federal law. The length of the contract in which you list with the agent is negotiable as well.

Pick a real estate agent who is willing to show you a marketing plan. A solid marketing plan demonstrates a commitment and willingness that will be instrumental in selling your property in a timely manner, eliminating unnecessary expenses related to utilities, real estate taxes, interest expense and lost interest income. A marketing plan should include advertising in a variety of venues, (for example flyers, the newspaper, open houses, the Internet). The property should always be listed in the local MLS, which is the industry standard publication that is utilized by all agents.

Although a real estate agent is not a financial advisor, attorney or tax consultant, a good agent should possess basic knowledge in these matters. The agent should possess enough knowledge to let you know which expert you need to consult with should any issues or questions arise related to those topics.

Following these guidelines will go a long way towards creating a positive experience when buying or selling property. As an older American you deserve peace of mind during this time of transition.
