Short Sales for Dummies! This is a great Short Sale Q & A from an agent in California, Debbie Lynn. She says it so well in her explanation that I thought I would repost it for your reading.
This is a very complicated and confusing subject where there is so much INCORRECT information on the internet. You must be sure to hire an agent that is knowledgeable in Short Sales and be represented from an real estate attorney who is also very knowledgeable. You cannot wing it! This is a financial strategy that you must compile so one size does not … (3 comments)

lyn sims: You've Got Mold...
- 10/17/10 07:10 AM
Obviously this is MOLD. Bad mold that needs to be taken care of by a professional. Just wanted to show you how bad that it can really get. These are pictures from a home inspector in Tennessee - Mike Thornton.
This stuff is no joke.
You've Got Mold...Anybody who has ever dealt with bank owned properties knows that they will be in varying states of disrepair. Oftentimes, this starts while the home is still occupied. Having given up hope, what was once their American Dream has now turned into their American Nightmare.Deterioration continues as there is no longer a loving … (4 comments)

lyn sims: Northwest Suburbs Market Trends - July and August 2010
- 09/11/10 02:46 AM
Hello, is anybody there? (long echo ............ crickets)That's what the market has been like here in the Northwest Suburbs for the last 2 months. It's been very lonely and I'm sure most sellers will agree with me. No action! What I've noticed is lots of internet 'shopping and lurking' but no real foot traffic into the homes themselves. Inventory is UP over last year and in a few instances 2009's sales total have surpassed 2010. So if we stop for a moment and wonder where the buyers actually are? (crickets again) I can't actually say. But they are lurking.Interest rates are … (7 comments)

lyn sims: Why shall I pay top dollar to rent Grandma's House?
- 09/07/10 01:40 AM
Why shall I pay top dollar and rent Grandma's House? Sellers that cannot sell their Schaumburg Home in our market area are turning to becoming landlords. They really don't have a clue what is expected or what they should do to prepare for this new moniker but most are financially pushed into the situation. I'll call you the reluctant landlord!Here is some advice ~1) If you haven't painted your homes interior since 1990 (exterior too!) why would you think that a renter would want to live in your property? Most expect a nice neutral paint job without your youngest child's crayon marks. … (10 comments)

Tall Ships Chicago 2010
Visited the Tall Ships at Navy Pier and the weather was spectacular! Not a cloud in the sky and 72 degrees when we set sail. We took the 'Red Witch' out for an hours sail to see how it felt to be on a vintage sailing ship. A few passengers got to hoist the sails going out which took a little bit of muscle! I took lots of great pictures (just watching all those sailors of course) of our fabulous skyline and lake front along the way.

lyn sims: Roselle Homes - What were the results of the Tax Credit?
- 07/26/10 01:17 PM
What's the results of the tax credit with Roselle Home Buyers? I've been waiting to write this update now for quite sometime on Roselle Home Sales and to be honest, it sure is a let down! Yep, anti-climactic end to the Home Buyers Tax Credit. Like a sharp object aimed at a balloon, it's a total fizzle (or as Snoop Dogg would say 'a total furrrschnizzle').The graph illustrates sales for single family and multi-family Roselle Homes from January to June 2010. With all the media hype, I would have expected better numbers. What I see here is the standard increases that we … (7 comments)

lyn sims: Trash Out - The World of Foreclosures
- 06/23/10 03:29 AM
Foreclosed Homes - What's a 'Trash Out'?
A 'Trash Out' is often a gut wrenching clean out of a home where the owners have left their belongings behind. Often valuables, cherished family items, important paperwork are just left where they are. The people vanish and move quickly on to their new location. Poof.
I think personally one of the most heart wrenching is when you find family photos that should have been taken. Why not? It would only take a minute to throw these into a pile for future memories. The last 'Trash Out' I attended the owners left … (8 comments)

lyn sims: Schaumburg IL Homes - Pricing your home to SELL

Pricing your home to sell - how shall we arrive at a good price?
Well there’s actually 3 things that are enmeshed together: they are Price, Condition, Location. All 3 actually make your Schaumburg IL home either sell or be rejected by prospective buyers.
Obviously in this market with the elevated inventory you have to be ‘spot on’ with your homes price. Too high and no one will take your home seriously and it will be passed over. Too low? Well that really doesn’t happen too often except in distress sales, foreclosures and the like. A fair price – what … (1 comments)
