Reputation And Choosing a Realtor To List Your Sunnyvale Short Sale

In 2007 the Sunnyvale market was very competitive for buyers, especially for homes in the Cupertino School District. Many homes were getting multiple offers (like today) and nerves were often frayed (like today). I was working with a very nice couple who were looking for a single family home with Cupertino schools. They made several offers before one of their offers was finally accepted. 

One house came on the market in the Birdland neighborhood and the agent said we…

Can I still do a short sale even If I am going through a foreclosure?

Absolutely. YES!!! You will not be asked to move out until the closing. If your specialist is actively working with your bank, your lender will typically delay the foreclosure proceedings making it possible for you to stay in your home a little longer.

How do I qualify for a short sale?

 While lenders have become more lenient in recent times, there are typically three qualifications required for a short sale.

  1. Financial Insolvency (no other major assets),
  2. The proceeds from the sale of the property, after all closing costs are paid, are less than the amount currently owed on the property, and

Why Should I short sale my home?

To settle for a foreclosure means accepting the damage to your credit a foreclosure would bring. It also means accepting the fact that in many states, the lender will seek a deficiency judgment in the amount that is owed. A short sale by itself will typically lower your credit score by 50-120 points, however the hardest hit on your credit will be from missed mortgage payments, not the short sale itself. Your credit will usually recover from a short sale in as little as two years, whereas a…

What is a Short Sale

A short sale happens when a lender is willing to accept a lower pay off on a loan than what is currently owed. In a short sale, the borrower will owe more on the property than the home is worth at its current state, however, a short sale happens only when a homeowner qualifies through some kind of hardship.

Short Sales and Self Check Out Lanes

 

You think you’ll try the self check out lane because you’re kind of in a hurry and with only a couple of items, it seems like the right thing to do.



First, the scanner doesn’t read your bananas so you have to punch the numbers in manually, but because the code on the sticker is so small, you have to first get your…

Is it wise to "name names" in Blog Posts?

Specifically...Lender names when talking about experiences with them with regards to Short Sales??? 

I have mixed feelings here.  Yes, I have posted blogs about my own experiences with particular Lenders.  They DO get responses..both from other Short Sale Agents which I find most helpful and even in some cases, the Lenders themselves.  I have had several stalled Short…
