Short Sale, Strategic Default, Foreclosure - Make Sure You Check The Facts Before You Decide Which Choice Is Best!

Please make sure you check the facts before you decide what to do with your home and your future! In this crazy market there are so many "SELF-PROCLAIMED" Experts.
Fact #1  Most REALTORS are not Lawyers and are not allowed to give legal advice.
FACT #2  Most REALTORS are not CPA's and can not give Tax advice.
FACT #3  Most REALTORS are not Mortgage Brokers and cannot predict your timeframe to be able to purchase again.
FACT #4  REALTORS are a … (0 comments)

foreclosure: Attorneys telling homeowners to walk away. . Strategic Defaults - 08/08/10 04:34 AM
Attorneys telling homeowners to walk away. . Strategic Defaults
 
I was amazed to hear a television commercial where the Attorneys says if your home is worth less than 75% of what you owe on it that you should call him to discuss a Strategic Default. You would think that the bar Association would not allow an ad that tells someone to walk away from their home and obligation to pay the lender just because they owe too much.
Not because they are having difficulty paying, not because they lost their job! My advice would be to see an Attorney that … (1 comments)

foreclosure: Over-priced listings in Florida - www.SKIPtheBULL.com - 07/09/09 03:39 AM
Over-priced listings in Florida
 
 
Make sure when you are making an offer that the home will actually appraise. Nothing is worse than getting excited about the purchase of a home and rushing to have it inspected ($300) and having the appraisal done ($350) and finding out a couple of weeks later that it appraises for $30k less.
THE SHORT SALES AND FORECLOSURES ARE KILLING VALUES!!! EVEN THOUGH THE HOME YOU ARE PURCHASING IS IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE, IT'S HARD FOR THE APPRAISER TO IGNORE A $30K DIFFERENCE!

Home Sales are up in Central Florida Again!!!
That's great news except for the fact that home prices are down again and it seems that most of the sales are below $130,000.  I have a ton of buyers looking for bargains between $100,000 and $150,000 but the SHORT SALES are sitting there for a really long time and most of them are listed below what the bank will accept or the process has just begun with no end in the near future!

Buyer BEWARE - Banks Addendums Override the Original Contract     
If there wasn't enough stress looking for a home, getting pre-approved and making the final decision to put in an offer to buy a home!  Most of the Bank Addendums for Foreclosed homes include a bunch of SH#@!
Some things to look out for are WHO PAYS THE TITLE INSURANCE, DOC STAMPS ON THE DEED, PAST DUE HOA FEES and more!  If you are purchasing a Short Sale or Bank Owned Property, make sure you have a REALTOR on you side!  Make sure you fully understand what you are signing and … (0 comments)

Where did you come up with that price?      The Problem With Short Sale Listings!

 3 bedroom, 2 bath, Waterfront Pool Home $189,900
At least this home in Orlando is priced somewhere it the range of market value! The seller owes $30k to $50k more than the asking price, plus they have to pay REALTOR commission, Taxes, Closing Costs and Title Insurance at Closing. It's a TYPICAL SHORT SALE!
Some listings may be listed well below market value and the lender will never accept the low offer. The agent just listed it that way to get activitiy on the home! I … (2 comments)

foreclosure: BANK OWNED BULL - 02/07/09 12:40 AM
BANK OWNED BULL

 

I Sold a Condo downtown Orlando this week. Cash buyer purchasing a bank owned property. When making the offer we wanted to know whet the title company charges were going to be and we wanted to see the bank addendum. Well the listing agent wouldn't give it to me and wouldn't tell me the title company name or how much they would charge my buyer!
It amazes me that some of these agents are so unprofessional and nasty to deal with.
 
It's a bad market and we all need to work together!!!

The need for Standard Language for Short Sale Listings . . .

I showed 11 Short-Sales this week, called for details on 2 that my client liked. Took 1 agent 2 days and 3 calls from me to get a response. When I finally speak to someone, they tell me that even though the MLS says it is an APPROVED SHORT-SALE, the asking price is $10k less than what the lender will take!
This cannot go on. THESE AGENTS ARE WAISTING MY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
We need strict rules for advertising Short-Sales including a section where the agents have to disclose where … (0 comments)

foreclosure: WHAT IS A SHORT SALE? - 12/07/08 06:19 AM
WHAT IS A SHORT SALE?
A "Short Sale" occurs when a Lender agrees to accept less than the amount owed to pay
off a loan as an alternative to foreclosure, if the property is worth less than the amount
owed on the loan. Often a Lender can be convinced that they will do better or as well if
they take less than what is owed NOW rather than taking the property back by
foreclosure and trying to sell it later.
Buyers are often confused when they see a home listed in the mls as a SHORT-SALE thinking they can offer a … (0 comments)

foreclosure: What is a Short-Sale? - 11/16/08 05:48 AM
A Short-Sale is when a home listed for sale, sells for the asking price or less, the price may not be sufficient to pay the total of all liens and costs of sale, and sale of Property at full listing price may require approval of sellers lender(s). The Lenders may or may not ever approve the sale. So basically a BUYER IS TAKING A CHANCE THAT THE BANK WILL AGREE TO TAKE A LOSS SO YOU CAN GET A GOOD DEAL.
