I know - the - LONG, If EVER Sale, also known as a short sale, does actually close. I decided to take on short sales pretty much exclusively, about a year ago, and it has been a long, hard, learning process - but it is paying off. I just checked the numbers on our MLS and Hawaii County has had 10 short sales close in the last 90 days. 6 of them were from our office, and I am happy to say that 5 of them were mine. Better yet almost all of them paid 6% commissions, My $800,000 sale was the exception - it only paid 5% .
Bottom line is - if you are looking to sell your home, whether it is in Foreclosure, or just a short sale - why not list it with someone that has a proven record, someone that delivers. I got to tell you also - its not all about the sale - of my 24 listings, 3 of my homeowners are now in the - MAKE HOME AFFORDABLE PROGRAM - put out by Obama, its funny because I always screen my clients to see if they have some sort of a chance at this program - and if they do - I always advise them to pursue that avenue first, I also encourage them to pursue it during the listing process - in fact 2 of them had offers in on there homes whe we were able to get them in the program - there is nothing like the moment, when someone saves their HOME - Priceless - and then they look devastated because they don't know what to do about me? I have offers, I have spent all this time, how are they going to pay me? I just turn around and give them a hug, they don't owe me anything, somehow I will get back - what I have put in - it always comes around full circle - maybe it will be helping their parents sell a home and get a condo - who knows - but it will come back.
One word of advice - NEVER PAY SOMEONE TO MODIFY YOUR LOAN - ITS EASY - AND YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF - JUST CALL YOUR BANK - THEY HAVE GOVERNMENT MONEY THAT THEY WOULD LOVE TO HELP YOU WITH.
Ok - so I rambled a little off track - but here it is - the 10 short sales that closed in the last 90 days
