realtor: Should we fire all the Realtors?There is always waterboarding.
- 11/15/08 02:57 AM
Realtors, As this economic crisis starts to unfold and the age of technology is upon us, what will happen to us in the future? What are you going to do in order to stay competitive in changing times? We have a few generations that are extremely technologically saavy and tend to look down upon those who are not like them. Are we adapting to the times? Or are we being left behind? In the Denver Metro area there are 30 thousand plus Realtors trying to keep their heads above water and some are doing better than others. There are a lot … (9 comments)
realtor: Denver Short Sale questions and answers, Part 1
- 11/14/08 01:08 PM
Today I will attempt to answer a couple of common Short Sale related questions. Here are a few of them. If you have equity in your home, will a lender allow a Short Sale on your property? Considering the Real Estate market as it is now, probably not. If a BPO is triggered because of a Short Sale offer and the bank finds out that there is equity, they will be hard pressed to approve a Short Sale because they will benefit from the sale of the house if it goes to auction. There are entirely way too many upside down properties … (12 comments)

- 11/12/08 01:22 AM

realtor: What do you need to buy a Short Sale?
- 11/11/08 07:03 AM
I am sure that we can all talk about the trials and tribulations of trying to purchase a Short Sale. How many of you have made an offer on a Short Sale and then waited 3 months for an answer? Then to add fuel to the fire, your client loses interest because it is taking too long. This is just one of the many horror stories that Realtors have to tell. I am here to tell you that 2 things are needed in order to complete a Short Sale. One is Capital, the other which is the most difficult, Patience. Patience … (2 comments)
