Short Sales And The Need For More Regulation I Think

Todd Hueffed (Keller Williams Bothell) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:12:27 -0600

Ok I have to rant on this for a second and would love everyone's feedback on any experiences you may have or insight.

I have been doing real estate for over 10 years so have been around the block a couple times.

I am so frustrated with short sales and the banks. The banks have 30 days supposedly to respond to offers however they are also the only ones that can tell you when they have received the offer. I have done many short sales now since the market has changed and have found on every transaction so far that the banks loose the files for as long as they want. I have fax cover pages confirming that the lien holder received the offer but when I call they say “we don't have it and we don't care what proof you have".

I have now defaulted to faxing and Fed Exing files (or requesting that the escrow or negotiators do this) simultaneously from the beginning. This way I have it in writing that they received it physically and electronically and do you think this helps???? Lol no.

I know so many agents that just refuse to show or list short sales for this reason along with the fact that the banks beat up the commissions, I don't blame them and starting to feel the same myself. Short sales are a lot of work on the agent’s part and tons of stress on the buyer. I am finding the average buyer does not have the tolerance to deal with the stresses of purchasing a short sale. So as agents are we doing our clients right by not showing certain homes????

I have a deal I am working on now that has three lien holders and we wrote the offer back in January and just now getting ready to close. We had approvals back months ago but not all of them and now that so much time has gone buy all the new approvals are 35K more money because our local market has recovered some. HOW IS THIS FAIR to the clients?

I hate to say it as I am one for less regulation than more but these slimy banks are still finding ways to hurt our markets and I feel bad for the poor sellers that have to deal with the stresses of loosing a home and having to deal with uncooperative lien holders.

If anyone starts a lawsuit please let me know the banks are just in the wrong in so many ways and need to be held accountable as right now they seem to act as if they are untouchable.

Short Sales & These Darn Banks

Todd Hueffed (Keller Williams Bothell) — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 14:57:26 -0500

There needs to be some regulation put into place on the banks that they have to within 24 hours conferm that they have gotten offers and packets. Right now they can say we have not gotten whatever you have to send until they have time to deal with it.

Banks are givin 30 days to respond to an offer turned in but there is nothing that says they got it....and try telling the banks you have 10 fax cover sheets saying it was faxed.

Every deal I have worked on in the last year has had this one problem...along with millions more.

Are You Thinking Of Moving To Snohomish or King County Washington

Todd Hueffed (Keller Williams Bothell) — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 10:53:09 -0600

Have you thought about moving or investing in real estate in Washington? I have been selling real estate for over 10 years in King and Snohomish County Washington and have never seen a better buyers market. Rates are at historical lows, and our local economy here is really pretty good and many of the large companies here are still hiring.

There is even talk about a housing shortage in the next 3 to 4 years here because our local economy has not taken the beating that most the states have but our real estate got pretty beat up because of the loss of sub prime mortgages and to be honest the media scared off many buyers. The baseline of home sales is new construction and with our market lull there has been little new construction or development of lots for new homes......so the theory is that we will see a housing shortage......and we all know what happens when supply cannot meet demand.

I also feel that our market has already seen its bottom and with the start of the new year I think we will see a surge of new buyers in the market place as almost every lender I know is getting more and more busy and not just with refinancing....

So if you have ever thought of moving to Snohomish or King County Washington or buying some rentals now just might be the time to take a look here......

If you have any relocation needs please feel free to contact myself and also click here for your free online relocation kit and I look forward to working with you soon.......

Court Steps Auction in Snohomish County Washington

Todd Hueffed (Keller Williams Bothell) — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 19:52:18 -0600

I was at the Everett court steps home auction a couple weeks ago with one of my investors for the first time ever and was amazed at all the doom and gloom that was being spoken for next year.....

I talked to many agents and others that are very familiar with the auction process there and they are all saying that we are going to see a surge of homes come on the market next year as the banks are hiding how many foreclosures they actually have until next year to make there end of the year profit and loss statements look better.......in the week before only one home was sold all the rest were postponed......and while I left early because of the weather I watched hundreds of homes pulled off the auction block the day I was there also and would doubt if anything sold that day.

So the doom and gloomers are saying that because of this we are going to see a flood of homes come on the market taking us down another at least 10% early next year.............now while I do not disagree with there forecast after seeing first hand that we are going to see a surge of home on the auction block I do disagree that its going to have a negative impact.

My reasons for saying this are that almost every lender I talk to seems to be pretty busy qualifying clients and yes fewer are getting out of financing with a loan or enough of a loan to make them real buyers I still think that we are going to see a surge of new buyers in our market......also the homes at auction are cash only .... how many buyers do you know that can drop 200 to 300K all at once.........so that leaves investors and I have some with pretty deep pockets and they are still only looking for one or two at a time.

I think there will be some great deals for investors that want to flip some homes and have the cash and know how.....but they are going to sell these at fair market value not a discounted price......and they are not all going to be turning out 10 homes a week as most of these homes are in need of much deferred maintenance that they will space them out enough.

Happily as a buyers agent I think we will see more homes that are not distressed properties and will show much better than the distressed ones...also the banks are taking months to approve the sales letting buyers remorse set in badly that I really don't see a negative impact. We as agents are also getting beat up hard on commissions here doing short sales and the homes usually show badly and are hard to pass newer appraisal standards......

So as a agent what are you more likely to show your clients .......... a home that shows badly and you know is going to take forever to close with tons of time and work put in or a nice updated listing where you do not have to involve the lienholder......

All in all I think we will see more positive than negative....

That's my two cents

Making The Move To Snohomish County Washington

Todd Hueffed (Keller Williams Bothell) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:21:47 -0500

Getting ready to pack up and make your move to Snohomish or King County Washington? Before you pack the first box, you may want to review these valuable moving tips from United Van Lines:

Specify the exact date of the move and when it will be convenient for an agent from the moving company to visually survey the household and prepare an estimate.
Tour your home before the agent arrives, checking everywhere, inside and out, to determine what will be moved and what will be discarded. Show the agent what will be moved.
If you're doing the packing, start collecting suitable containers and packing materials. Setting packing goals and deadlines will help ensure all packing is complete by moving day.
If moving because of a job change, learn exactly which moving expenses will be paid by your company.
Drain fuel from the power mower and other machinery. Discard partly used containers of any substance that may leak. Remember to empty water from steam irons.
Obtain a written appraisal of antique items to verify their value.
Don't wax or oil wood furniture before moving, because some products may soften the wood, making it vulnerable to imprinting from furniture pads.
Unplug all electronic equipment such as television sets, home computers, stereos, etc., 24 hours in advance of a move so they will be at room temperature on moving day. Moving a TV set and other electronic equipment in which heat is still retained could cause internal damage.
Identify items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, art, antiques and collections. (The moving industry identifies items worth more than $100 per pound as having extraordinary value.) Consider moving high-value and irreplaceable items (photos, memento) yourself. If you decide to ship, tell the agent about such items before packing or moving day.
Discard or make other arrangements for items that cannot be loaded on the van, including hazardous materials that are flammable, corrosive or explosive, as well as perishables such as food, plants or living things that may die or spoil in transit.

For free area information or to just talk about the local market here please feel free to call or e mail anytime. Also please take advantage of our free on line e courses and guides.

DESCRIPTION

Elegance defined is an understatement when it comes to this opulent home. Sitting on just over 5 acres and according to the owner is sub-dividable. Just east of the home is the second lot with your own private pond to sit back and enjoy the warm summer days, it also boasts a huge shop with two more garage bays still leaving more than enough room to still have a generous shop. The second lot already has a septic and all that is needed to build as owners had there mobile home there during construction. Landscaping can still be personalized for an up charge....this very secluded home should be completed approximately by the end of June. Neighborhood is trying to pave 49th St NE and put a gate at entrance hopefully by end of year.

Elegant glass double doors welcome you as you enter this home......to your right is the home office or den area with built in custom cabinets. To your left is the bay window with a sitting area, ahead right is the entry to the stairwell, and ahead left is the formal dining room and the formal sitting area offering custom coffered ceilings that follow the shape of the room, recessed lighting, wood floors and a fireplace to add that touch of warmth and elegance to those frosty winter nights.

As you enter the kitchen from the formal dinning area, even the pickiest of cooks will astounded. Plenty of custom cabinets for all your storage needs topped off with marble countertops and custom tile backsplash. The center island is substantial and well positioned for your cooking, and adding to the already considerable counter space
.
Across from the kitchen is the dinning area that has a glass sliding door drawing you out onto the covered gazebo back porch that would make for exceptional dinning on those warm summer days. Back inside just off the dinning room is the living room boasting two story ceilings making this already huge living room seem enormous with many windows added towards the top letting natural light fill the room. Custom built in cabinets offer more than enough room for your entertainment desires while still allowing for plenty of storage. Finally, a fireplace gives warmth and magic that only a fireplace can do on those chilly winter nights.

Moving from the living room down the hall, you will notice the laundry and mud room along with the door leading to the ample 3 car garage. From there you walk into the stairwell wrapping around towards the second story of this magnificent residence....as you look up you from the all custom wood banister and stairs you see the massive cathedral ceiling proudly displaying the elegant chandelier, adding to the grace of this room leaving all in awe that enter.
The second floor landing wraps around leading to all the bedrooms, also an open area overlooking the living room and a small rounded room surrounded by windows looking out into the woods that surround this home and would make a peaceful setting for a reading area or workspace.

The 3 bedrooms upstairs are all massive sized and one even has its own private full bathroom. The master does not disappoint with custom wood floors that surround the perimeter of the room leaving a carpeted area in the center to keep your toes warm and pampered. Coffered ceilings follow the border of the master bedroom adding elegance and even more height to an already tall ceiling. The sitting area is surrounded with windows to gaze out onto the landscape. Stroll out onto your personal master deck to delight in those sun-drenched days with your coffee and enjoy the nature this property has to offer....

The substantial master bathroom allures you in with custom tile work that is warm and inviting. Two separate sink cabinets on each side of the immense garden tub that looks out into the woods for those soothing or romantic baths. Separate room for commode and a huge two person shower boasting several stone shelves’s for all shower needs, also don’t miss the walk in closet that could easily loose a person from the shear size.

This home is elegance personified and I would encourage you to look at all the homes in Snohomish and Lake Stevens up to 2 million and then look at this home. It outshines them all....do not miss out on this opportunity to own paradise call today for your private showing.

Moving to Washington State

Todd Hueffed (Keller Williams Bothell) — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 16:42:03 -0500

If you moved to a new home in Snohomish or King County Washington because of a new job or a job transfer, you may qualify for a moving expense deduction. The distance between the old home and the new job must be at least 50 miles more than the distance between the old home and the old job. The location of the new home is not considered.

Whether you're a homeowner or renter, you can deduct the cost of moving household goods and the direct cost of moving you and your family. You can also deduct expenses for lodging - but not meals - during the move.

Hint: While realty commissions, lawyers' fees and other closing costs are no longer deductible as moving expenses, these costs can reduce capital gains by adding to the cost basis or reducing the adjusted sales price. See IRS Publication 530, "Tax Information for First-Time Homeowners."
