I have a client who is participating in the Pre-Foreclosure Sale Program through Citi Mortgage. This program stops the foreclosure process and allows the buyer 120 days to sell their home in a short sale.    We received an Approval to Participate in October of 2011.  On December 20 my client sig...

This week our HOA received a letter from an agent with a listing in my subdivsion. She was requesting that the association waive over $2,000 in ...

Well, we did it again.  We've had our focus on specific neighborhoods and in the last 6 months I have closed 13 listings within 1 square mile in Leander, Texas. 

Excellent informatio about Short Sales from the blog of Stephen Munson.  Stephen is from Califonia but the infortmation is generic and germain to anyone seeking information on foreclosure alternatives.  Thank you Stephen Short sales-Frequently Asked Questions-Munson Montejano- What is a Short Sal...

Via Lenn Harley's blog.  This post is scary.  I wonder if the mortgage companies are going to use their crystal ball to deny short sale approval because the seller was too good of a money manager and made their credit card payments on time. WHAT IS A Strategic Default Credit Model?  Just another ...
