I want to talk really quickly about the importance of working with a REALTOR®. I know this is probably gonna sound a little bit like a sales pitch, but I want to talk about a specific instance that I went through with clients. I had some buyers that purchased a home, and there were some issues with the home that we found out that I knew we could have remedy to. There were some conce s that came up from the property inspector and a couple of other things that I'm not gonna get in into details on. Suffice to say, I've seen it several times before, and there was a way to address it that protected my clients.....and it was in their best interest to be protected in this manner. My clients were willing to take the house the way it was with the issues, and that's fantastic. It was very important to them to have that home. But I knew there were some things that could be handled for them that would protect them much better than than had we just gone in and waived conditions and gone on with the purchase. So in the end, when I explained the entire scenario and process to my clients, they were quite pleased with the fact that they had this protection, and to be honest....it was something you may not know if you're just a consumer out there buying a home on your own. So, I just wanted to say that REALTORS® bring a lot to the table and bring value to the table in protecting buyers purchasing in today's market.

Today I’m going to talk about how creating a sense of urgency can produce faster lender response times with it comes to short sales. When a loss mitigation negotiator has 500 to 800 files to work on, almost every one of those files is seen as urgent to an agent. Foreclosure time lines may seem long, but getting an approval from the lender and then waiting another 30 to 45 days for the deal to close, there isn’t much time at all.

With the number of foreclosures looming around each and every neighborhood, buying one can provide numerous benefits to the home buyer. Many investors find it advantageous to purchase a home via a lease to own agreement. The reason is because they don’t have to put much money down and it helps to leverage the number of properties they can purchase. But there are risks as there have been reports that payments made to the original homeowner never gets paid and the home is on its way to foreclosure.
