minneapolis: The Bulk of the Nation's Bank Owned Homes: Perfectly Managed or are they Managed Perfectly?
- 02/17/09 08:59 AM
Agents who do not agressively market REO and Foreclosure properties hurt us all - consumers, sellers, and banks - we will all pay the price in one way or another.
As an REO agent, I feel that ALL properties and ALL clients deserve a good marketing plan.
Our exclusive marketing program provides one-click access so that buyers can see inside the property. We provide the maximum number of MLS photos (10 photos) on all listings, bilingual video and audio tours, optimized blogs, virtual tours, web sites, an 800 call capture system, live phone access, support and follow-up.

minneapolis: Can Investors in Minnesota do a Short Sale? North Metro Minneapolis St Paul Twin Cities Real Estate Expert Patti Ann Kasper
- 02/13/09 04:02 PM
You might ask, "I own rental properties, so can I still do a short sale?"
Yes, it is very likely that you can, HOWEVER, there are additional consequences when compared to a short sale of a primary residence. Primarily, you will have additional tax reporting and consequences as well as the possibility that the lender may report the deficiency, even though they release the deed.
Still, this may be a better option for you than a full foreclosure.
Here is more good information on short sales, foreclosures, and lender mediated sales in Minnesota that also apply to a primary residence:

minneapolis: Median or Average? What's the difference? Minneapolis Real Estate
- 08/30/07 02:33 PM
Housing statistics, such as price - are often stated as either "average" or "median". So what's the difference and what does it all mean?
The word median, is a statistical measure and it is based on a "normal" bell curve (like the one above). By definition, it means the middle of the distribution - half of the distribution is below the median and half is above. In a perfect bell curve, the average and the median are the same. But in the real world, most things are not perfect.
In the case of housing prices, it is quite common to have a somewhat skewed distribution. This causes … (0 comments)
