OK I have been working on a deal. I have the buyer and they wrote up a contract for a home in Coral Springs. Things were great. The have great credit, he is a federal agent and other things. It took us a while to find the right house as you are aware from previous post. But once we found the right house it was smooth sailing. I was there for the inspection, since they are in another state. I sent the file to the title company and to the Mortgage broker. The house was no short sale or foreclosure. It is not in an HOA, so we wouldn't be held up with an estoppel letter ( which always seems to take so long). So my thought was, this should be smooth sailing! Well boy was I wrong. The buyers are frustrated, the sellers are frustrated, the listing agent, title company and myself included. You ... 06/11/2009

Article after article always comes back to the same thing; the daunting task of Short Sales and that so few close. I just now read another one that came to my email from National Realty News This is simply not true. I close my Short Sales. If the Listing Agent knows what they're doing the Short Sale can close.  There are so many Realtors here on Active Rain that can agree with me, I'm sure. So why do so many blast the Short Sale. This only spreads news that Short Sales don't work and distressed Sellers and eager Buyers will refrain from pursuing. If you don't like Short Sales then don't list them and then we won't be caught up in this whirlwind of Short Sale negativity.  Pass them on to someone who has become educated in the Short Sale process and will fight for the distressed homeowner... 06/01/2009

Today I celebrated with my Seller and Buyer. HOORAY! I posted a pretty cool post a bit back about another one of my special Seller's and Buyers: What it's like to be an active participant in God's plan. Well, I'm happy to report that this plan went all the way and closed today as a Short Sale in Coral Springs Florida. It's a great story of a Short Sale closing but it's more than just another Short Sale closing as it's about human misfortune and human compassion interacting. You can go to my prior post to read the beginning but I'd like to let you know how it came to a close. My Sellers were planning their move out of their recently sold home and the Buyers of their home wanted to do more for them then just save them from foreclosure as if that wasn't enough. It is a rough time for my Se... 05/27/2009

Che Boludo Steakhouse in Coral Springs, on Wiles Rd between Coral Springs Dr & Coral Ridge Dr, is an Argentine steakhouse that also has Peruvian dishes.  Have you dined there yet? I have been there several times, and always enjoyed the experience.  Recently I had dinner there the other day with family and friends. I ordered the Parrilla - Grill for two.  The Grill for Two comes with sausage, blood sausage, sweetbreads, short ribs and flap meat it is severed in a platter that has hot coals in it to maintain it warm in the table. The parrilla comes with fries, salad or rice & beans as a side dish. My favorite is the chorizo (sausage) and short ribs I am not a fan of blood sausage but people says it great. You have a choice of chimichurri and 3 types of chilies to add to the meats. The mea... 05/27/2009

If your lender is threatening foreclosure on your Coral Springs Home, I can help. I work for distressed homeowners and save their home from foreclosure. I do this by listing their Coral Springs home as a Short Sale and selling it before the home is foreclosed on. I have had a great rate of success as I know what needs to be done to have the Lender approve the Short Sale.   Also, I can go over the details of the short sale process and qualifying factors. I can get the lender to accept less than is owed for the property and the struggling homeowner is relieved of the debt. And typically, a short sale does far less damage to the homeowner's credit than a foreclosure does. I know this can be a stressful situation for the seller. Short sales are more difficult than your average buy/sell in C... 05/25/2009

I'm sure that a lot of you would agree on the importance of getting back to a customer, potential customer or business partner right away.  When I receive a call from a customer, I will return their call right away and I mean within 10 minutes unless there is something happening that it is just impossible for me to phone them back ... worse case scenario I get back to them within a few hours.    Oh, that pains me to even type it but I realize sometimes I just can't respond how I really ideally would like to. This even applies to my fellow Real Estate Associates. Even when an Agent leaves me a message for showing instructions when the Showing instructions are clearly marked on the MLS.  So with this being my guiding way, it's no wonder that so many people often comment to me, "...thanks ... 05/24/2009

Check the facts when it comes to Short Sales. A recent post by Wendy Rulnick, Seller ruins credit on False Short Sale Information, prompted this post by me as Wendy had described a horrible short sale story. Whenever there is the misfortune of individuals, you'll have "helpers" running rampant and along with them are all the rumors. These "helpers" can come in the shape of individuals who think they're helping and really don't have any malicious intent and then there are "helpers" who see an individual weakened by an unfortunate circumstance and are going in for the jugular; the latter "helper" are the scum of the earth. Check the facts. Don't believe everything you hear. Didn't we all learn that when we were growing up and later realized it to be true through our trials and errors? So ... 05/23/2009

Loving life and Short Sales! Yes, you did hear me right. Quite some time ago, I chose to focus on helping the distressed homeowner. I wanted my Real Estate career to really be about helping others as I've been so blessed in my life. At the time, people thought me to be crazy. They asked why would you want to devote so much of your time to such a tough task with no guarantees. And then when I said I would do the negotiations myself, people thought me to be even crazier! I really, truly had the passion for wanting to help others and I just knew I could do it with Short Sales. Much time has lapsed since my major decision was made and I have never regretted it for one second. And today, once again like so many times before, I've been reminded why I love Short Sales! Last Friday, I closed on... 05/18/2009

I just closed on a HUD approved Short Sale. As part of its Pre Foreclosure Sale program, Sellers are entitled to an incentive to avoid foreclosure. The max that they could have received was $750 as an incentive. However, there were costs on the settlement statement that weren't allowed totaling $570 so this reduced their max of $750 to $180. But, by all means, a distressed Seller definitely would be pleased to get a check at closing for $180. Especially when just a few days ago they had a baby. I was happy to be delivering additional good news that a check is in their name! It's great to see that the industry is picking up on the benefits of avoiding foreclosure. So much so, that they're willing to pay a Seller to avoid it - get the Lender a Buyer and they'll pay the Seller.  I'm hoping... 05/17/2009

This past week has been a busy week for me. I wrote up an offer on Thursday for a house in Coral Springs. Offer accepted! Today I met with another set of buyers, also for Coral Springs. We met at 10 am and was on our way. We saw 5 homes, at this point I had already seen most of the inventory so I was able to let them know certain qualities about the home. Which they were able to see. By the time we got to the last house I never saw this one. As as walked through I explained how great the home was and since was the first time I met with these buyers I was trying to get a feel for them. They looked at me and said this is the house. Where is the contract? Huh now, you want to write up an offer now? Yes, as soon as we walked in the house we knew! We went to my car wrote up the offer and the... 05/02/2009
