I've recently been thinking about what the true advantages of a short sale are as compared to just letting a home go into foreclosure.  In both cases the seller is delinquent and is having problems with the current mortgage.  If a lender is not going to forgive a deficiency and could come back at a future date to collect the unpaid balance why wouldn't someone just let the home go to foreclosure? Yes, your credit is going to take a hit, but you can wash your hands from future claims by the lender.  I have even heard that the credit reporting agencies are looking to eventually treat a short sale the same as a foreclosure.

I know you get stuck in a moral dilemma, but what is one suppose to do?

What are your thoughts on this subject? 

 

 

 

Great Listing in Ion Subdivision.  This home is located in an national award winning neighborhood in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.  The seller is very MOTIVATED at will consider a lease or lease with option to buy!

 

 

 

 

Great New Listing in the Summerville area! Best values home in the area! Sellers relocated to Iowa! Cold!!!!! Anyway, if anyone has a client that may be interested please feel free to show! Empty and ready for a new owner!

 

I recently added an "awesome" new enhancement to my website, Market Snapshot!  It is a very useful tool for clients that are interested in neighborhood sales activity.  It will allow me to automatically keep in contact with new leads by having customized reports sent to both buyers and sellers in regular intervals.  The information is "REAL TIME" and works in conjunction with my local MLS IDX system. Market Snapshot also incorporates community and school reports based on area zip codes. All of these enhancements come as part of this new marketing program.

I have had had the market snapshot up and running for less than a week and have had great response. In fact, I recieved 2 new leads in the last 3 days! 

Below is the form that a potential client fills out to get the snapshot sent to them.  The great thing about it is that you now have all their contact information for future marketing.

We all need to be prepared for the worst. With this being said it is a great time of year to get your Hurricane Kit together. Please see the below link. It will help get you moving in the right direction!

Recently a new website has surfaced in the Charleston area. This website has been put together to help people find local serviced based businesses. It allows for individuals to post their experiences with these companies. In a sense giving each area business a score card. This is perfect for people that are new to the area and that are relocating to the Charleston, Dorchester and Berkeley County area. As we all know it is hard to find local services when you are new to an area. The Yellow Pages only goes so far!

There is so much activity in the Charleston area it is nice to have a FREE RESOURCE of information.

If you are a local business it is FREE to add your companies profile as well. Thus giving your company more exposure locally and nationally!
