Owe too much on your home to sell it???

With home prices down many people are finding themselves "upside down" on their mortgage. They owe more than they can sell the home for. All hope is not lost though -
When a homeowner has a financial hardship (divorce, loss of job, illness or death in family, or Military ordered move) they may qualify for a short sale.
A short sale is when the bank allows a homeowner to sell their home for less than is owed on it. Many times the bank will forgive the deficiency.
If you or someone you know is in this situation or a similar one it is not too late - call me. I have multiple certifications in working with short sales and I have a great success record for getting short sales to the closing table and helping families move on.

It's a great time to sel!

The "market" is definitely picking up. My phone has been ringing and keeping me busy. The buyers are starting to understand that these low interest rates and high home inventory are not going to last forever.
If you have considered selling your house give me a call. I can give you an idea of how much you will be able to sell it for and how long it will take. I can also drop by and make suggestions on minor improvements that can increase the appeal of the home to buyers. And all of this is FREE if I don't sell your home. I only get paid when I sell your home so I am HIGHLY motivated to get your home sold.
It's a great time to sell AND a great time to buy. Call me today and I'll help you with either or both!
Even if you owe more on your home than you can sell it for I can probably still help you. I am certified to work with families just like you and I have great experience in successfully selling homes that are "upside down".

Sales are up!

According to the NAR real estate sales were up for the past 3 months. I am feeling it in my business - my phone has been ringing like crazy! Of course, that's a good thing :-> Keep the calls coming!
I wrote my first offer of 2011 on New Year's Day...hoping that is a sign of what's to come this year.
I know there is still skeptism in the market place - there always is! There's always going to be that guy that thinks the whole world is out to get him and that guy will taint many people around him.
Wake up folks! Interest rates are at historic lows and they won't stay there forever. House prices are at historic lows and they won't stay there forever. Interest rates, real estate, the stock market, "the market"....it's all cyclical. Housing prices and interest rates will go back up and many people will be sitting around wishing they would have jumped on the wagon while they could. Don't be one of those folks!
Whether you are interested in your dream home, a vacation home, an investment property, or any other kind of property I can help. Call me today and I'll help you get started - it's much easier to buy a house than you might think ;)
