The Note Marketplace

Curious how to use Notes as a tactic to workout the short sale you are currently working on? Many lenders will prefer to sell them their note on the home that you as listing agent have inherited and are trying diligently to get approved so you can make a commission from closing your workout transaction. The Problem is you have heard about Notes but never really worked through the note settlement process. The process, the paperwork, the settlement, the agreements. How would you like to work with… Continue

Wachovia/Wells Fargo, New Direction is not a good one.

Most of us are familiar with how good it is to work with Wachovia and Wells Fargo. In fact my history with them has been my Short Sales can close within 30 days if the package is in "Fast Track". Last month I have found that they are taking a new and disturbing direction of pushing all short sale packages through HAFA, even when they know that the Borrower/Seller will not qualify. Several other Agents in my area are having the same problem.

I have 2 short sales stalled and all… Continue

The True Picture of Short Sales and Foreclosures In Central Florida

Foreclosures and short sales have changed the way we look at we real estate. Instead of looking for the ideal home to raise a family in Buyers now just want a deal. It's all about the price and getting the best house for the least amount of money.

But what I see as a Florida Real Estate Broker is broken dreams and lives. Families uprooted and torn apart. The frustration and stress of losing…

A to B to C transactions. What is the skinny on these?

Hi Superstars.

I have a seller who signed an "option" contract with an investor. It does not appear to me to be a real offer to purchase, but rather an offer to market for an end buyer with the option to purchase at a lower price. So I am reluctant to ask my title comany to do a preliminary HUD-1 for something I don't quite understand.

Most of the investors who contact me as a short sale specialist want to do something similar to this. Meantime, I've heard from…
