I have no idea how people who work for corporations get any work done during the day when they are free to go online. I try to stay away from certain websites because I can get easily distracted. Dangle a bright shiny object in front of my face and, like a baby, I want to grab it with both hands and stuff it in my mouth. My loyalty factor is zero when I'm enticed by other websites. I'm the perfect About.com homebuying visitor because I could click on different links and read stuff all day long, getting myself buried deep within the site. When I look through my gmail, for example, which I use for my throwaway account, I see offers. I know I should not click on that link for Jimmy Choo shoes, but sometimes I can't help myself. Before you know it, I'm looking at bags, sunglasses. It's a wo...

Rocklin Short Sales - Are They Successful? Selling your Rocklin home as a short sale can sound daunting.  With so many misconceptions regarding short sales, it leaves some sellers wondering if they are even worth it or can be successful.  As a Rocklin short sale agent, I am constantly finding better, quicker, and more streamlined ways to help my clients short sale their home.  Take a look at Rocklin short sale success for last month: Rocklin short sales that actually SELL are up almost 20% from the same time last year.  Also interesting are the amount of pending short sales.  Pending short sales in Rocklin have rocketed up over 215% since the same time last year.  Buyers are much more trusting of the short sale process than they've been in the past.  Short sales are now a viable option ...

  Rocklin CA Short Sale Specialist | Mark Peek | Use a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy As A Negotiation Tool – Rocklin Short Sale Specialist, Mark Peek, knows Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is one of the scariest words a bank can hear. A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy filing can delay their ability to foreclose by 6 months, and sometimes as long as a year. The banks know that Chapter 7 will prevent them from pursuing you for any deficiency or loss.  This can be especially powerful for difficult 2nd and 3rd liens. The only recourse a bank gets in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is any collateral they have on a loan. So they can foreclose on your house and take a loss, or they can agree to a Rocklin Short Sale and mitigate their loss. After a Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge, the banks can’t garnish your wages or bank accounts. T...

Who Pays Commission in a Short Sale - Rocklin Short Sale Agent Allan Sanchez Yesterday I met with a client who wanted to short sale his Rocklin home.  He had several short sale questions, especially when it came to the new MARS disclosure that sellers must sign before listing their home as a short sale.  As a seller with a ligitimate financial hardship, his biggest questions was "Who pays the agent's commission during a short sale?" MARS came about to try to prevent shady characters, like quick loan-modification companies, from scamming distressed sellers and collecting up front fess.  As a Rocklin short sale agent, I'm now required to explain the key points of the MARRS disclosure.  MARS clearly states: If you accept the offer, you will have to pay us (insert amount) for our services. ...

Home Buying in Rocklin CA - Is it a Seller's Market? Rocklin home buying in this economy should be easy, right?  Believe it or not, if a home is priced well, it's getting multiple offers, creating a seller's market and sales over the original asking price.  Last week, I wrote an offer, over asking price, on a great home in Granite Bay.  I found out yesterday that it went to another buyer who offered even more. The price range doesn't matter, only that it's a good deal. The home received multiple offers....and it was priced over $800,000! Areas like Rocklin and Granite Bay are very desirable.  Yesterday I wrote an offer on this Rocklin home. Priced under $250,000, it's a steal with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths. over 2,000 square feet, and a 3 car garage.  Located in Stanford Ranch, it's a great d...

Rocklin Short Sale Expert - Allan Sanchez A short sale in Rocklin CA is a way to: Sell your Rocklin home for less than you currently owe. Avoid foreclosure and do less damage to your credit. Delay a pending foreclosure while we negotiate your short sale with the bank. If your Rocklin home is already in preforeclosure, it's not too late to initiate a short sale in order to delay foreclosure.  If you're considering a short sale, it's important to work with a Rocklin Short Sale Expert.  I've been a top producing Realtor for the last 12 years and have sold over 650 homes.  I've negotiated short sales with many banks including Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Golden 1, AHMS, Nationstar, and more.  Traditional sales are NOT like short sales.  A short sale handled badly, can really hurt a seller ...
