  Who Is In Charge During A Short Sale In Fort Lauderdale Many home buyers think that the short sale lender is in charge during a short sale in Fort Lauderdale. Nothing could be further from the truth. Who Is In Charge During A Short Sale In Fort Lauderdale? - You the home seller is in charge and here is why: The short sale lender can only veto a short sale offer. They can’t put the property up for sale or decide who to sell it to. Only the home owner can do that. Why is that and who is in charge during a Short Sale In Fort Lauderdale? Until the lender forecloses on the home the home owner is in the driver’s seat. The home owners  “own” the property until the lender forecloses on them. We have had many buyers get angry at our home seller in Fort Lauderdale, that the home owner would not...

  Seven Benefits When Short Selling Fort Lauderdale Homes A home owner who is thinking of a short sale recently asked us why they should short sale versus just walking away and letting their lender foreclose on the home. There are more than Seven Benefits When Short Selling Fort Lauderdale Homes. We gave them the normal answer: “It’s much better for your credit.” That was the first thing that popped into our head. But, I knew there are more benefits to a home owner than simply better credit. So I put together the entire list and here they are. 1. The upside down debt is erased in most cases. If you are selling because of a financial hardship, then the upside down debt will be automatically erased in most cases. Is your loan is owned or insured by the following agencies: Fannie Mae, Fred...

  You Have Options To Avoid Foreclosure in Fort Lauderdale If you're facing foreclosure, then you are probably under stress, but You Have Options To Avoid Foreclosure in Fort Lauderdale. You don't know what is going to happen. How long will it take before the bank kicks us out on the street? Will I owe my lender a ton of money? Will I ever get my life back? That's why we put this site together. You need to know what your options are. So, let's go thru them here. Option #1: Do nothing and the lender forecloses on the house. Please be aware that in most states the foreclosure process can take a long time. I've seen it take some lenders up to a year to foreclose on a house. Some banks have better lawyers and can get a foreclosure done in 3-4 months. But, that is often rare. Option #2: Deed...

  Fort Lauderdale Short Sale Approval Only With Promissory Note What you do when your lender demands a Fort Lauderdale Short Sale Approval Only With Promissory Note or they will not approve the short sale. A promissory note is not the end of the world. It will take a lot of work on their end to collect from you. If the lender forces you to sign a promissory note, then sign it and never make a payment. Here is what we recommend that you do to avoid paying the promissory note. It takes time for the lender to move your file out of the collections system. This will last for anywhere from 1 month to 6 months. The rest of this post is simply my opinion. It is not legal advice. I am just telling you what I would do if I was in this situation. Simply tell the debt collectors that you are trying...

From 2005 to 2010 I was a trainer for CENTURY 21 Sundance Realty in Daytona Beach Florida.  For years I would tell people to google me that way or refer to myself as the Daytona Real Estate Trainer.  My website said it and the search engines agreed. Fact of the matter, I dominated the search engines and was always on the first page of Google for numerous terms and sometimes with some terms it was several pages in. I was an active blogger on Activerain and had been up until 2010. My Life Changed Painfully Oh life happens....For a couple of years I had taken a hiatus from real estate.  Yeah, I know that people had their own thoughts of what happened to me, I heard the rumors, the jokes and read some of the emails. Some thought I lost my mind. I only wish...its deeper than that... I lost a...

  Does Short Sales in Fort Lauderdale Have To Be Approved Before Putting It Up For Sale? We often get asked if a short sale is even worth the effort. “Does Short Sales in Fort Lauderdale Have To Be Approved Before Putting It Up For Sale?” one seller asked us. “When I called my lender they wouldn’t talk to me about my short sale. I am concerned that they might do that when I finally sell the property, and I’ll never get the short sale approved.” Here was our answer. Most lenders will not talk to you about a short sale until you have several things in place. They want a solid offer from a pre-qualified home buyer along with all the necessary financial documents. Why do they do this? Because they only want to process short sales that will sell and close. Now, I think it’s a stupid way to d...

  Why Fort Lauderdale Short Sales Costs Sellers Nothing This is a continuation of a former article about short sales. We often get asked: " Why Fort Lauderdale Short Sales Costs Sellers Nothing  and if a short sale is even worth the effort than.  Why don’t I just let the bank have the property”, sellers tell us. “I don’t ever think I’ll be able to fix my credit to be able to buy another house.” Short sales are worth the extra effort. They enable you to buy another home much faster than you would have to wait if you experience a foreclosure. And Why Fort Lauderdale Short Sales Costs Sellers Nothing ? All the costs are covered by your lender. Now, I’m sure you’re thinking, “I might have to pay my agent to sell the house. That sounds risky.” That is a legitimate concern. Here is why the le...

  I am representing buyers in the purchase of this lovely pool home in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.  The house is located in the much sought after Coral Ridge. a family oriented community with homes SOLD as high as $6,499,000.  Granted this is a smaller older home, but with a little updating the value can increase significantly in no time.  Fortunately, for my buyer’s it is the lowest priced home in the neighborhood and we are in contract for purchase for $469,000. As a real estate professional and buyer representative I did some research for my clients to insure that they are making an educated investment and I found that the house  next adjacent to it is being remodeled and will be offered at over $750,000 upon completion.  Diagonally across the street there is a house for sale at 1,400,000, a...

  Things To Do In Fort Lauderdale  The Swap Shop of Fort Lauderdale is one of many things to do in Fort Lauderdale and perfect for a day where the sun don't want to come out and a beach day is not appropriate.

Your boys and dad may be thankful when you leave them their on your deal hunting. If you have smaller kids they have expanded their amusement park. It is not really a park but a section where kids have different choices of kid rides to keep them happy and occupied. Than you have three different kind of flee market.
