The number of foreclosures have dropped significantly since 2009. Many of the foreclosures in 2009 was attributed to local real estate scams, forcing many homeowners to lose their Greene county real estate.

Avoid Springfield Mo Foreclosure Surprises Just when I thought I'd seen everything, I recently placed a Fannie Mae home under contract with an occupied tenant. Uncooperative throughout the entire transaction, the tenant finally moved, leaving the home intact, but cluttered with debris. I was quite sure that Fannie Mae would order a trashout of the property, but I wasn't going to assume anything. This week the home was cleaned and the trash removed, but not without a glitch. Someone tried to open the garage door and after being secured, the door completely wrinkled. A few more obsticles......the inspection had to be … (6 comments)

- 01/18/11 12:00 PM
Springfield Mo Short Sales Must Increase in 2011 I read an article published in the DS News today, written by Dave Liniger, RE/MAX Chairman and Cofounder concerning the number of short sales that must close in 2011.

One hand not knowing what the other was doing, only made the process more delayed. Other reasons were untrained agents. He went on to … (4 comments)
