Mandeville, La. – It can be challenging to find the right real estate agent when listing a property. There are many steps that come into play when selling a house, and different agents approach the job in different ways.
The listing process begins with taking photos of the home, placing a lockbox and sign. Then the marketing process begins. This consists of uploading information to websites, creating virtual tours, weekly listing updates, calling for feedback from showings and more.

Mandeville, La. -- Many people are facing hardships in today's fluctuating economy. Foreclosures are up 94% in St. Tammany Parish in the first quarter of 2011 compared to last year at the same time. As a result, short sales have become a popular solution to the foreclosure epidemic.
A short sale is when a mortgage company allows a property to be sold for less than what is owed. This is done to prevent a foreclosure from happening after a home owner gets behind in mortgage payments.

wayne turner: Why Bond for Deed? - 04/09/11 04:16 AM
We have seen many people wanting to purchase a home only to not be able to qualify.  Let's face it these are challenging times but on the positive side there is a way you can buy a home with as little as $5,000 total down.  It's called Bond for Deed or Owner Financing.  We have sold and closed many of these types of properties.  In the state of Louisiana we have a term called "Bond for Deed".  It's where the seller holds the note acting on behalf of their mortgage company.  Home owners do not have to have their home paid … (0 comments)

Owner Terms and Bond for Deed are the hot topics in the Mandeville Real Estate market. Bond for deed is when the buyer takes possession of the home giving to the seller an agreed upon down payment. Bond for deed does not transfer title to the buyer. There is a separate transfer between parties. Many people have approached me to do lease purchase. We have been successful is educating them to the bond for deed process and getting their family into a new home. We closed a new home last week for $235,000. The builder took 7% down and carried the … (0 comments)
