short sale: Making calls you don’t want to make: Calling your seller because of a Notice of Default list - 09/13/10 06:18 AM

About a year ago, I had listed a home for sale in Beaverton, Oregon and thought it was going to be an easy sell. In the taking of the listing I had asked how much they owed, what their interest rate was and when they bought the home. (You know all the traditional questions)


But, it seems the one question I forgot to ask was… Are you current on your payments? This one was a very important question because it seems they were not. I do have to admit that this was a mistake on my part because … (46 comments)

short sale: Are you thinking about doing a loan modification to keep from losing your home? WHY? - 06/17/10 02:39 AM
WHY? Simple question that can save you lot of time and heartache when it comes to doing a loan modification and trying to keep your home. Many people are going through hard times right now and many of these people want to keep their homes and I’m betting if you are reading this you are one of them.
But, my question to you is “What was the reason you need to do the loan modification?” If you saying because your payments are too high oris that because you are getting paid less or could it be you have a spouse who lost … (6 comments)

short sale: Do you have equity in your home but are behind in your payment? Sell with caution! - 05/23/10 05:30 AM
I have had many Tigard, Oregon sellers contact me lately about selling their home because they are behind on their payments because of job loss or medical bills, but they have equity so they aren’t worried about a short sale,they just want to protect their credit score as much as possible so they can possibly buy something with a lower payment.
But, what I have discovered in many of these situations is you need to really watch yourself and make sure you have a good lawyer on speed dial. Though you have equity and think because of this you can get a quick … (17 comments)

short sale: Could the new health care bill cause the next wave of foreclosures? - 03/24/10 08:08 AM
 
I know it sounds crazy, but I got two calls from panicked homeowners yesterday that were convinced they were now going to lose their home. They were worried because they were already on a tight budget because of cutbacks at work, but as of today they managed to stay up on their home payments. But, when the health care bill passed they were worried now that they are going to be forced to buy health care insurance that they were no longer going to be able to pay their mortgage payment.
I told them, I wish I had an answer for them as … (13 comments)

short sale: Short sale, short sale, everywhere a short sale (A guide to selling your home when you aren’t selling your home on a short sale) - 01/27/10 02:57 AM
How do you compete when you have a house for sale that isn’t a short sale? Well the first thing I suggest is to stage it and make it show ready. Most homes that are short sales are not in the best of condition, if they don’t have the money to pay the mortgage, I promise they don’t have the money to keep the home up to 100% salable condition.
So, my advice to you, if you in a neighborhood that has a lot of short sales and you have to sell, then make sure your home shows better. Because the buyers look … (10 comments)
