kay van kampen: Twitter Helped Me Close A Bank of America Short Sale! - 08/03/11 02:45 PM
Twitter Helped Me Close A Bank of America Short Sale!  I listed 389 Waterwheel in Sparta Missouri last year and after once offer walking because Bank of America countered the offer, we received another offer last month. 
This short sale was an FHA loan, so we had approval to sell the home within a certain price range, with Bank of America not accepting any offer that required them to pay buyers closing costs.
It didn't take long to get an approval.  We had a great negotiator up until last week, when the negotiator was transferred to a different department.  The final … (12 comments)

kay van kampen: The Government Has Stopped Home Purchases - 07/04/11 12:08 PM
The Government Has Stopped Home Purchases The government has stopped home purchases......not really.  But what if the government quit all the federal funding?  Next, the banks will require 30% down before agreeing to loan you money. In a Springfield Mo real estate market where we see an abundance of foreclosures and short sales, we're also faced with lower home prices.  You would think this would bring home buyers running out to purchase.  Add some of the lowest interest rates to the formula.  Now we have a market that we haven't seen in a long time.
So where are the buyers?  I'll … (9 comments)

kay van kampen: Another Bank of America Short Sale Stalled After Receiving Approval - 07/03/11 02:09 PM
Another Bank of America Short Sale Stalled After Receiving Approval I have been working a Bank of America short sale for almost a year.  Being an FHA loan, we have had the seller approved for the short sale for over 4 months.  Unfortunately, the short sale was approved for over market value.
The approval was based on an appraisal that did not take into consideration past short sales or foreclosures.  The first offer was lower than the appraisal,and the buyer refused to meet the terms, so they walked. 
Four months later, we now have another offer.  The bank orders another appraisal … (96 comments)
