- 01/15/12 10:33 AM
I Feel I've Been Left At The Altar | Hopefully I Find A Suitor Soon After being courted for 3 months, being assured everything was going fine, the day of closing on a Springfield Missouri short sale, the buyer's decided not to close........yes, they got cold feet and didn't close. I feel like I've been left at the altar. The home has 3 bedrooms and two baths, with an attached 2 car garage and detached workshop and covered patio. Even the buyer's lender completed all the paperwork. All inspections were completed, with no repairs required....on a short sale the home is … (12 comments)
Short sales are sold in AS IS condition. Some sellers are able to make a few repairs, however, the seller's bank is requesting addendums that state the seller will make no repairs.
Recently, I had a home inspected and the roof has hail damage. Without the replacement, the buyer's lender will not loan the money … (3 comments)

I Accept Short Sale Referrals - Springfield Mo Short Sales Words out that I successfully work short sales in the Springfield Mo real estate market.

When asked if I do referrals on short sales, I responded: Of course I do! They are no different than any other referral. Yes, short sales are more time … (4 comments)
springfield short sales: 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)

springfield short sales: I Fought And Won - Saving A Short Sale From Foreclosure!
- 02/22/11 03:29 PM
I Fought And Won - Saving A Short Sale From Foreclosure! Short sales are difficult enough without losing one to foreclosure. But the bank doesn't know they are dealing with a stubborn Springfield RE/MAX Real Estate agent! Working a short sale for the past six months, the bank took four months to agree to complete a short sale on this property. Needless to say, we lost several potential buyers. Finally, when the last buyer walked.....after bank approval, winter hit and the showings stopped. Two weeks ago, we received a great offer, knowing the foreclosure date had been set. The bank received … (17 comments)
springfield short sales: Another Successful Short Sale - 1374 Old Bittersweet, Nixa Mo - Nixa Mo Real Estate
- 08/19/10 02:42 PM
Another successful SHORT SALE - 1374 Old Bittersweet, Nixa, Mo - Nixa Mo Real Estate If you wonder if short sales work - here's another closed short sale in Nixa. I've only worked this listing for 10 months, but after several offers fell thru, the buyer's of this home opted to hang in long enough for two banks to give their approval on a short sale. It's hard enough to get a fast approval from one bank. But to coordinate two banks at the same time is stressful and really tries my patience. Thanks to everyone for staying the course and … (14 comments)
Counterpoint to Cindy Jones' blog titled, "Mr. Seller You Didn't Accept Our Offer On Your House-It's Okay We're Not Heartbroken"
Dear Ms. Buyer, You made an offer on our property. The offer was nowhere near our asking price. We have a great listing agent and our list price is actually below the median sales … (6 comments)

springfield short sales: I Lost My Best Friend Today And Bought A Replacement!
- 05/25/10 03:16 PM
I Lost My Best Friend Today And Bought A Replacement! Happily going to a new short sale listing in Springfield today, I realized once I started taking photos, I'd forgotten the card for the camera. So I decided to stop by the local camera store......Lawrence Photo......and pick up a card. I'd also lost the lens cover to my trusted Minota camera and wanted to replace it as well.
I'm not a camera expert. I've been reading in AR about all the new gadgets and equipment that is being used today. So I took my camera in to make sure I … (24 comments)

springfield short sales: Banking On The Economy To Recover - Will We Ever See Good Times Again
- 03/18/10 02:06 PM
Backing on the economy to recover in the coming months, many Springfield homes for sale will continue to be short sale and foreclosures. Are we waiting for a pipe dream or will we ever see good times again? In my opinion, the market continues to thrive from foreclosures and short sales. Unemployment and reduction of income is among the major reasons so many Springfield Mo homes are facing foreclosure. Unemployment in Springfield is 8.2% (according to the Source: USDC, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Local Area Unemployment Statistics, December 2009. Regional workforce data is occasionally one month delayed) of the workforce in … (9 comments)
Distressed Property Versus Regular Sales For years, searching for distressed properties has been difficult. Our Springfield MLS system did not have a catagory for bank foreclosures. I would search all the agents I though listed foreclosures and send or show listings that appealed to the buyers. Then I'd do a vacant search, look for the sellers name, check the availability. It took hours to find the right home. With all the foreclosures and short sales hitting the Springfield real estate market, MLS of Springfield added a new tab to assist real estate agents in their search for foreclosures. Now … (4 comments)
