Short Sale Disasters 101

Imagine this screaming woman as a buyer, a seller, a Realtor...maybe it's YOU! I know we're in a bad economy and real estate is still operating at a level of about 10 below Rock, but seriously, does the short sale process have to be so heinous?    Picture this...a married couple gets a loan approval about three years ago based upon their ability to work overtime.  The bank assures them that they can re-fi their property in two years and bring their mortgage payment down. Then the economy goes…See More

Short Sales - Same Old, Same Old!

  Due to the current economy, I, like most Realtors, have had to deal mainly with short sales.  I kee reading all these hopeful articles detailing how much the short sale process has improved when, in reality, it is barely better than it was a year ago.  Sure, B of A has started their Equator.com, and Chase actually lets you…See More

GETTING SHORT SALE APPROVAL - AFTER ONLY SEVEN MONTHS!

Re-blogged by 0 agentsGETTING SHORT SALE APPROVAL-AFTER ONLY SEVEN MONTHS!Wow! We FINALLY got approval today on a short sale we've been working on for over SEVEN MONTHS! Thus far, we've lost three buyers, had to re-start the process four times, and then ended up telling the negotiator to tell the bank to go ahead and take the blasted property back - we were THAT tired of dealing with the horrific process that we have to go through to get short sale approval (yes folks, this was a B of A deal).…See More

Showing Property in the Rain

SHOWING PROPERTY IN THE RAINShowing property in the rain - can it be successful or just a wet, bedraggled mess? Depends on you and your buyers! Selling real estate in southern California means that the weather is mostly sunny and nearly all showings are done in a pleasant climate. We are so unaccustomed to rain that buyers often cancel their showings at the first sign of inclement weather. So how does a good agent overcome this problem? I always bring a few golf-sized umbrellas, wear…See More

FHA'S SHORT REFI PROGRAM FOR NEGATIVE EQUITY HOMEOWNERS

So FHA is boasting about launching it's new short refi program for underwater homeowners. Woot, woot. Have you actually LOOKED at their requirements? It reminds me of the evil stepmother in Cinderella who tells the girl that she can go to the ball "IF" she can get an impossible amount of work done. In other words, "NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!"The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Mortgagee Letter 2010-23 lists the eligibility requirements for lenders and negative equity…See More

SELLING HORSE PROPERTIES

Selling Horse PropertiesI have been selling horse properties for many years, and it never ceases to amaze me how grateful my buyers are that I actually know about horses and their needs. I own a couple of terrific horses myself, so I'm truly familiar with what it takes to have a horse on your property.Apparently, many agents out there try to sell property to horse owners without even knowing whether…See More

"Sheyenne - interesting thought pattern, however, I believe the idea is for appraisers to appraise the property fairly and equitably, not to under or over value it. And, in a short sale, the lien-holding lenders would obviously want the property to…"
