Short Sales Make Sense

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Dream Properties 6504197170

We just closed a short sale in Livonia, Michigan that worked out to be a "win win" for all parties involved:

The 2 banks involved took less than the loan amount that was due, but ended up selling the home and getting it off their books. The alternative would have been having the home go into foreclosure and trying to sell it in the middle of winter here in Metro Detroit. They would then have to winterize the property and try to sell it at the slowest time of year for real estate.

The seller sold the home and avoided a full blown foreclosure which is much better for their credit record.

The buyer was able to purchase a very nice home at a slightly below market price.

The realtors were able to coordinate the process from start to finish and facilitate a successful transaction in a challenging market environment..

Wondering what the current market value is of your Livonia or Detroit MI home? Just visit, MetroDetroitPropertyValues.com.

I'm a real estate agent in Spring Hill Florida, west coast of Florida.  We are beginning to see a lot of short sales and foreclosures.  We have a property now that will be a short sale. 

We are taking a free online course today regarding short sales.  Our board in Hernando County is offering a course in Short Sales next week.  The market is ever changing and those of us who are new to real estate - less than 2 yrs are seeing things we never thought about when we began.

I think in this slow market its be best time to get as much education as possible.  We are working on our GRI and then will get our e-Pro designation. 

I think anyone who really knows how to do short sales can do very well in this market and be a benefit to buyers and sellers.
