short sales: REALTORS® say the Darndest Things?
- 06/06/10 05:51 AM
REALTORS® say the Darndest Things? But sometimes it's the things written in the agent remarks section of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) . Things that every REALTOR® working hard to find a home for their buyer clients first read before laughing at it and tossing it in the shredder. Here are ACTUAL examples of what may be written about your home in the MLS. These comments may discourage other REALTORS® from scheduling an appointment for their buyers. 1. SUBJECT TO INTERIOR INSPECTION; MUST SUBMIT OFFER FIRST; DO NOT GO ON PROPERTY; DRIVE BY ONLY; DO NOT DISTURB OCCUPANTS FOR ANY REASON!!!! DO NOT SOLICIT OWNER OR OCCUPANTS!!!

short sales: What Doesn't Kill You Will Just Make You Stronger?
- 06/01/10 08:13 AM
"What doesn't kill you will just make you Stronger!" That's what my grandfather taught me. He used to heckle anyone, anything, anywhere and anytime.....maybe that is why I am now a heckler. I'll give you a few examples: 1. I'm at the movies, with my wife, during the opening week of one of the Lord of the Rings movies and at the part where the hobbit creature is sitting atop of a tree, as it's racing down to save all the other trees in the forest......the theater is quiet, the music dramatic, and I yell ..."RUN FOREST, RUN!". Imagine hysterical laughter for … (5 comments)

short sales: "Dear Mr & Mrs Homeowner, How's Your Loan Modification Going?"
- 05/26/10 06:20 AM
Dear Mr & Mrs Homeowner, How's Your Loan Modification Going? I keep hearing more and more that those that have been working with lenders seem to share the same stories. Here are a few: 1. "The bank has been reviewing my file for 6 months (or longer), but they say as long as I stay current on my mortgage payments they are willing to work with me." - It seems that as long as your current on your loan, why would they feel there was any need to work with you? I am not advocating that a borrower intentionally stop making their payments … (3 comments)

short sales: SHORT SALES: "Do You Know Right from Wrong?"
- 05/07/10 05:58 AM
Do you know RIGHT from WRONG when it comes to Short Sales? I received a call this week from a distraught home owner who asked about the possible short sale of their home. They told me that they've been trying to work with the bank for 8 months to get a loan modification on their loan, but the lender stopped talking to them about 6 months ago. Problem was the more they talked with me, the more "Red Flags" kept popping up in my mind. Their story had more twists and turns and contradictions the more they talked. After a short … (2 comments)

Okay, that was what you did pretty much all year long in 2009 in the real estate market. How many good deals and low interest rate did you miss out? 2009 came and gone, and 2010 is here now, the extended and expanded tax credit is going to expire in April, only 3 months left for you to do … (0 comments)
short sales: "Where are all the Home Buyers?" wondered all the home sellers.
- 01/04/10 07:48 AM
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Home Seller, Have you ever wondered..."hmmmm....Why hasn't anyone looked at my home for sale?" Of course you do, and maybe your agent IS right and you have it priced high? Maybe you should make it less tattered looking from the street? OR maybe the agent (at your request) added a comment in the Agent Remarks section that drives other agents and their buyers away like the plague. Here are a few ACTUAL examples that I found, as I was looking through the Muliple Listing Service (MLS), of some 2009 homes that didn't sell. These comments may have kept me, other agents and buyers from looking at your home. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. "Seller to Find Suitable Housing Before Close … (84 comments)

short sales: Short Sales and Reasons Why They Fail!
- 12/23/09 06:26 PM
It is apparent that real estate agents who do not take time to educate themselves on Short Sales are finding themselves missing the boat of an ever increasing opportunity and are ticking off their colleagues who HAVE taken time to learn about them. Here are only a few excuses reasons, in my opinion, that cause problems with Short Sales: 1. Inexperience and lack of training. Many agents have yet to get their feet wet in a Short Sale transaction, and when one lands in their lap, instead of learning how to do a Short Sale or get help from their broker, say nothing, cross their fingers and hope it will all work out. (Good … (3 comments)
short sales: "The Home You Rented is in Foreclosure, Merry Christmas!"
- 12/23/09 03:39 AM
That is what I had to tell my friends after they've already suffered through a difficult year (2009). They have dealt with hardships, unsuccessful loan modification attempts and a bankruptcy. After foreclosure they rented a home through a property management company who told them the home was not in foreclosure. At the time, I had looked up the address on-line and confirmed that the home was not showing as a foreclosure, but warned them that the web site I used was not immediately updated. During a recent visit with me they asked me if I knew "How much their recently foreclosed home had sold for?", so I looked it up and told them. They then wanted … (5 comments)
