Recently, we met with a young couple who live locally. They came in talk with us about their home and helping them to develop a plan on either getting them out of … (0 comments)

foreclosure: I Want to Buy a DEAL
- 12/06/12 07:58 PM
I Want to Buy a DEAL A common conversation that we have with buyers is about “deals”. Many buyers, whether investors or home buyers, want a “deal” on the home they will purchase. Buyers will tell us that “I want to purchase a foreclosure, because that’s where the deals are”. Our response is always along the lines of “Not so much” and then we explain. Back in 1992, we bought a foreclosure home. Bob gave his social security # right to the bank and they approved the mortgage within a few days. We got a “deal” on the home and were … (0 comments)

Recap of Short Sales in Newtown, CT for 2011 Over the course of 2011, we posted several blog entries about the status of short sales in Newtown, CT. With the advent of the New Year, we thought a recap of this segment of this local real estate market would be in order.

Foreclosure Properties Deserve Customer Service, Too Last Fall, we started to represent banks in the sale of their foreclosure properties. We had always heard that a foreclosure property was a lot of work, but we they would be a great source of business for us.

To help us manage our new responsibilities, we hired someone to check on each foreclosure property weekly and complete a form for us. For some banks, this form is then forwarded onto the Asset Manager and for … (1 comments)
