broward county real estate: Short Sale Myths - 11/06/11 09:11 AM
  A short sale can be an excellent solution for homeowners who must sell and owe more on their homes than they are worth. Unfortunately, a number of myths about short sales have developed, and it is important to understand the reality of this process should you find it meets your current needs.

broward county real estate: Short Sales Explained - 11/06/11 08:36 AM
 
A short sale can be an excellent solution for homeowners who need to sell, and who owe more on their homes than they are worth. In the past, it was rare for a bank or lender to accept a short sale.

A homeowner is 'short' when the amount owed on … (5 comments)

My first real estate purchase was a two bedroom townhouse in White River Jct., Vermont, with an asking price of $79,000.  I paid … (0 comments)

broward county real estate: Where Are All The Foreclosures? - 11/20/07 01:43 PM
A couple of weeks ago a Re/Max agent from Montreal e-mailed me with a promise of a several referrals if I couldn't find foreclosures  in Pompano Beach east of US 1.  I did a quick search of the MLS and found just 2 foreclosures.  Thats doesn't mean there aren't any deals out there, so I sent some listings I thought were just plain well priced.  They were probably a good 20% less than what you would have found last year.  I guess that, and the strength of the Canadien dollar still wasn't good enough because I never heard back.
I think it just goes to show … (0 comments)
