Offer A Short Sale Life Preserver! - 03/30/09 11:59 PM

Think your short sale may end up like the Titanic?
Many agents have never submitted an offer on a short sale property. They think they will encounter the same set of rules and protocol as in a "normal" transaction (whatever that is!), such as asking for repairs, expecting a counter offer, timely responses, etc. They don't realize that a short sale is completely different!
When you are marketing a short sale, do you...
Tell other agents in the MLS the deal is "subject to third party approval" and instruct them to include that phrase in the contract? Clearly state that the commission may … (15 comments)

Just Thinking...Land Contracts and the $8,000 Tax Credit - 03/29/09 11:21 AM
Disclaimer: I am not a tax professional. Consult your accountant to verify if you qualify for the 2009 $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit  or for the 2008 $7,500 tax credit.
Here is the updated form for the first time homebuyer tax credit: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f5405.pdf
How you finance the home, i.e., seller financing, or if the deed is recorded does not seem to be a stipulation on whether or not you are eligible.
This seems to mean that land contracts, recorded or unrecorded, would qualify, as long as a binding contract with consideration is established.
As I read it, it doesn't appear to … (47 comments)

Urgent! Your Input Needed! - 03/22/09 04:43 AM
I have a lovely family that needs to move into a larger home.They would like a property where they can raise chickens!
No problem, right? Let's go, great bargains available and rates are down! They have great credit and a very good job, too!
Unfortunately, they own a home now that they have been very faithful paying down, but the market has been unfaithful swallowing all their hard earned equity, and we cannot sell their home without creating a loss.
They can't add on to have the space they need, because they will overbuild the neighborhood.
They can't get a renter … (48 comments)

Slumdog Millionaire & Your Personal Legacy - 03/22/09 12:05 AM
Tonight we went to see Slumdog Millionaire. I know, everyone has probably seen it already! I highly recommend it - I won't tell you anything about it. Here's the trailer (which doesn't touch how this movie makes you feel):
Here's how I feel after being engrossed in this film... I couldn't stop thinking of how drop-to-my-knees grateful I am for something I had no power over.
Where I was born! I could have been born to the slums of India as easily as the main characters in this movie. Maybe you were born there, or somewhere equally bleak. Maybe you know … (7 comments)

You Are My Sunshine, My Only Sunshine - 03/20/09 07:45 AM
Do you feel like you're my one and only?
I love to hear a client say, "I'm sure you have other clients."
Why do they say that?
It means they feel as if they are my one and only client.
It means they feel known, valuable and appreciated.
It means they are impressed because:
Their calls are answered or returned promptly I know their name when I answer their call I'm glad they called - my tone is sincere, whether cheerful or empathetic I pay attention to what they want I  know what is going on with their transaction and keep … (4 comments)
