realtor: Antioch Short Sales: Is My Hardship Legitimate For An Antioch Short Sale? - 02/27/18 10:18 AM
Antioch CA – I recently received a question from Dan. Here was Dan’s Question.
“I recently purchased another home and tried to sell my former home. It isn’t selling and I can’t afford to make both payments. The home won’t rent for even 1/2 of the mortgage payment.
An agent told me the house is worth about $50K under the mortgage amount. Is it realistic for me to try the short sale?  The only hardship created was when I decided to move to a larger home for family. Dan.”

Antioch CA – The I  recently received a question from Susan about short sales. Here was Susan’s Question.
“My home is scheduled to be going on the courthouse steps in about 2 months. I had thought about short selling, but a friend told me I wouldn’t have enough time to do it.
Because of that I didn’t pursue a short sale earlier. Recently I decided to look into it further. It looks like a good option compared to foreclosure. My question is this.
Do I have enough time to short sale my house, or is the foreclosure already too far along? Please let me know. Sincerely, Susan.”

realtor: How An Antioch Short Sale Helps Preserve Neighborhood Values - 02/25/18 06:26 PM
Yes, short sales can actually help preserve home values in a neighborhood. Here is why.
Most people short sell their home while they are still living in the home. They are maintaining the home, mowing the yard, keeping the air conditioning on, etc.
Most bank owned properties are empty for 3-6 months, if not longer. No one maintains the home during that time period. Empty homes are easy targets for vandalism and thieves.

realtor: Selling your home? There’s a form (or 100) for that! - 02/23/18 06:37 PM
Didn’t they tell us years ago that we’d be a “paperless society” in the near future? Somebody forgot to tell the real estate industry. There must be a form for every single step in the selling process when selling your home.
In all fairness, real estate is fully in the 21st century, with online document signing and other tech wizardry.
Still, the amount of paperwork you’ll sign when selling your home, whether digitally or in hard form, from listing to close, is amazing. One thing is for sure, you’ll never, ever forget how to sign your name after this!
While every form I put in … (2 comments)

realtor: Seven Ways You Benefit From An Antioch Short Sale - 02/22/18 07:36 PM
Antioch CA – A home owner thinking of a short sale recently asked us why they should short sale versus just walking away and letting their lender foreclose on the home. We gave them the normal answer: “It’s much better for your credit.”
That was the first thing that popped into our head. But, I knew there are more benefits to a home owner than simply better credit. So I put together the entire list and here they are.

Antioch, CA- Of the many questions we field from homeowners thinking of selling their homes, the most frequent starts with “What’s it worth?” Of course they’re referring to their home’s value, but even after that is determined, the “What’s it worth” questions continue.

  Antioch CA – In most areas the rental market is very tight. Rental prices have been increasing because so many people are losing their home to foreclosure.
But, what is still surprising is that in most cases it is still cheaper to rent than own an upside down home. See, home prices have dropped by 20-50%, depending on the area.
