    Are you wondering if your house can sell fast for sale by owner? If you live in the Phoenix or Scottsdale Az areas you may have a hard time to sell your house yourself. The truth is, it can. But, you need the knowledge, time and skills in order to find yourself a buyer who has good credit and/or all cash to buy your house fast. 

    The first thing you need to check is what your home is valued at. In other words, finding similar properties in your neighborhood that have been listed for sale. Of course, you can also bring in a real estate agent that will provide this service to you for free.

    As soon as this is completed, you need to start preparing your home. There is a lot of preparation involved that starts with removing clutter. You also want to present the housee in a way that shows that it doesn’t really belong to you. This way, the buyers can envision themselves in it. In order to do this successfully, minimize the amount of personal photographs you have on display on the walls, try taking them all down.

    Decluttering is a task that must be done on a room by room basis. It might also be in your benefit to rearrange the furniture placement. This could free up some space and make the room more functional, all the while providing a better traffic flow. This is extremely important. And, if it isn’t placed properly and there’s too much furniture, your room and your home will look smaller than it really is. So store anything that really isn’t absolutely necessary to you and your family members.

    The same must be done with each closet. When the closets are neat, they look good and they look bigger than they really are. As many people are looking for more space, they will be turned off if they are overly crowded. But, you must maintain this tidiness until you sell your home.

    In addition to all this, you have to ensure that your kitchen is always clean. If at all possible, remove most of the items from the countertops. This will always make your room look clean and crisp and look as though you have a lot more counter space, which is very important. You can’t stop there, however. Make your way into the garage, if you have one, and ensure that it is organized.

    Then, you should look at all your walls, light switches, doors and door frames, ensuring that they are spotless. If walls have been damaged, pass them over with a coat of paint. There is no need to repaint the entire room. Even if they aren’t damaged, an accent color could add a lot of value by adding warmth.

    Now that you’re done, you are prepared to present your home to buyers by having open houses and scheduled appointments. You’ll have to ensure that you properly advertised in local newspapers. And, be prepared by having some paperwork on hand should someone have the urge to make an offer on the spot. Best wishes on selling your house yourself and finding your own buyer. Remember, we represent a large group of buyers who can buy your house fast if you decide to change your mind. Also, you will be under no obligation at all to accept the offer.

    Lenders ordered to Reimberse Homeowners for Foreclosure!

                    Fighting back to help the suffering.......
             

     Fighting the banks forcausing this foreclosure crisis resulted in favor for many homeowners. The federal government ordered 17 mortgage lenders and servicers on Wednesday reimburse homeowners who were incorrectly foreclosed upon.

    The Federal Reserve, Office of Thrift Supervision and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency also told the lenders and servicers to hire auditors to see if they improperly foreclosed on homeowners in 2009 and 2010. About 2.4 million first-lien mortgages were in foreclosure at the end of last year.

    Critics, including Democratic lawmakers in Congress, say the order is too lenient on the lenders. The lenders and service providers cited by the agencies are as follow: Ally Financial Inc., Aurora Bank, Bank of America, Citibank, Citigroup Inc., EverBank, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, MetLife Bank, OneWest Bank, PNC, Sovereign Bank, SunTrust Banks, U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo, and the service providers Lender Processing Services and MERSCORP.

  • Short Sale Specialist- 8 Steps to Successfully Sell Your House Short Sale

    8 Steps to Successfully Sell Your House Short Sale

    The first step is to find a licensed real estate agent/realtor that specializes in short sales. Be sure they not only have experience in dealing with them but also that they take care of you at No Cost. Also ask them if they are current on the newest laws in your state regarding these types of transactions.

    The second step will be for you to provide your agent as quickly as you can all the documents needed to fill a completed financial package including copies of the following:

    W2’s for the past 2 years

    2 months Bank Statements

    Last 2 paystubs

    Profit & Loss statements for last 2 quarters (if self-employed)

    Hardship letter

    Letter of authorization for your short sale agent to speak to the bank

    Any specific bank  paperwork.Your agent can provide this or visit your lender websites for their financial assistance package.

    The third step will be for our short sale specialist agent will provide you with the listing paperwork to list the property for sale. Be sure that agent puts “All commissions to be paid for by sellers’ lender(s)” in the Additional Terms section. This protects you from being responsible for an agent’s commission at closing.

    The forth step is to make sure that they allow access to the property via lockbox. The easier the property is to show, the easier and faster it is to sell!

     The fifth step is to keep your property in top showing condition to have a greater chance at attracting a buyer who has a strong desire to be the new owner.  Make the beds, put dishes in the dishwasher, vacuum, use air fresheners, clean up any clutter (including those closets & garages!), keep bathrooms clean, lawn trimmed, rocks raked, etc. It’s amazing the effect a clean, uncluttered house has on potential buyers!

    The sixth step is once your short sale specialist agent receives an offer, YOU should consider accepting any offer as the seller are the one responsible for accepting it, and this will get the ball rolling.  This can be confusing – remember, you need to accept the offer first and THEN submit it to the bank for approval.

    The seventh step will be for the short sale specialist will continue negotiations with the bank until approval. Banks are notorious for playing hardball and a good negotiator will be able to handle tough banking mitigators.

    The eighth step is getting the APPROVAL!!! Your agent will provide you with the approval letter stating all the conditions. Make sure to read this carefully and sign off on it that you agree. Don’t let the bank try and slip something by you – if they are going to then here is where they do it! All you have to do now is sign the closing documents and be on your way to a brighter future without all that debt! Then you can make a fresh start and rebuild your life again.

    Congratulations on your short sale!

  • Short Sale - Lenders Like To Sell For Cash - Missouri Fast Sale -

               SHORT SALE - Why Lenders Like To Sell To A Cash Buyer

    Did you know that since the first of the year, cash sales have picked up steam, especially in markets with high percentages of short sales and foreclosures where investors are looking for bargains? For example, In the state of Florida, the percentage is certainly higher with more than 50 percent of the residential sales transactions involving cash buyers. And cash buyers accounted for a record 30.9 percent share of all California house and condo sales in January 2011.

    Cash buyers want a smooth, fast closing when buying your house as much as the bank does, so they don’t add difficulty to the transaction by expecting the bank to negotiate on specifics. They just want a house for good deals seeing they have the cash available. Also, if the bank has to repossess a property it will cost them money. The buyer is not obtaining a loan that requires a 20% down payment or less, the buyer's lender will not fund unless the buyer coughs up more cash, so cash buyers don't make offers contingent on an appraisal.

    Lenders that work with cash buyers don't have to worry about the transaction closing falling apart after weeks or even monthes of anticipation. Lenders often deny loans for pre-qualified buyers because the buyers' qualifications sometimes change upon further scrutiny. Maybe the buyer wasn't fully employed in the same occupation for the past two years, perhaps financial situations were altered prior to closing such as the buyer purchasing a new car or worse, maybe the buyer was unwittingly a victim of identity theft. So, there is no loan funding contingency.

    Bottom line is that a faster closing puts money, yes cash, into the lender's pocket sooner. There are also fewer things that can go wrong in a short escrow period. A buyer does not need 45 to 60 days to close if the buyer is not applying for a loan and the lender will not risk seeing the transaction fall apart for an under qualified buyer.  Once the home inspection and other contingencies have been satisfied or released, closing can take place in as little as 3 to 7 days, providing the buyer is willing to sign any waivers.

    So now you know and understand about cash buyers and how to sell your house fast for cash to a company that represents buyers who want to make it easier for the seller and lender, so if you want to move your house to closing faster and smoother, give us a call at 888-877-9824 or to get started today simply CLICK HERE to fill an online form.

    How Do I Sell My Boston MA Luxury Home as a Short Sale
        
    We specialize in working with people nationwide to short sale, who want or need to sell the house fast, but do not want to wait for months or even years to list, market, sell and close on their home. If this describes you and you are in a tough position and just want to move on then you will be pleased to find that our service is prompt, courteous and efficient.

    If you are  like most people who are selling their homes, then you have high hopes when preparing to sell. Your home is immaculate, everything is in its place, and therefore you anticipate a fast quick sale. Conventional wisdom has told you; my home is in good, clean condition...It should sell fast!

    Six months may go by and your listing expires. Your house has now become a liability, or a no profit burden.

    If you have already gone through this or a similar scenario, you have probably already discovered that it can be more of a hassle than you ever thought possible. And if you have not yet come to learn this, you soon will.

    Most realtors know that the higher-end market is not as active and lucrative as it once was and that buyers with financial resources are even fewer and far between.

    Our company represents cash buyers of pre-foreclosed homes, in doing our business of buying homes we hope of course to make a profit and we then use a large portion of the profit to pay attorney fee's, commission cost, leins, ect..which will make your life much easier and business sense for us .

    We want you to WIN because we are aiming to prevent the foreclosure from happening to you so you don’t get a Foreclosure on your credit and have to pay high unwanted bills years down the road. As for the bank, they get to take the loan off the books. And the Realtor gets a home that is priced correctly that can actually sell at a more marketable price.

    So, if you need to sell your house as a short sale, this will require the bank to reduce your payoff to an amount that makes business sense for us to buy it so it’s worth our time to hire attorneys to pursue the bank negotiation. We pay the attorney to fight for your best interest!

    Most often, the luxury homes have no or very little  equity in your home until we negotiate with the bank and create the equity we need. As you may know, 90% of pre-foreclosure homes like yours, even though they are listed will not be purchased because a buyer won’t usually come along that knows how to deal with the banks and willing to stay with the negotiation past a couple of weeks. Our experienced team will make it all possible in as little as 3 weeks and sometimes 6 weeks.

    Most buyers want to move into a home within weeks, and while homes like yours may get interest, they rarely get to the closing table.

  • What Is a Short Sale and Why?

    Posted Under: Home Selling in Massachusetts  |  December 29, 2009 1:27 PM  |  927 views  |  No comments
    So, you are wondering what exactly is a short sale? Even though foreclosure's have been happening for quite somtime now, many are still wondering what a short sale is and the process. Many home owners are still wondering why a mortgage company would agree to take less than what is owed on the mortgage.
    To make it simple to understand,  mortgage companies are getting stuck with way to many foreclosed properties. When this happens, they have to pay closing costs, auction fees, taxes, repairs and liens. Since a mortgage company is in the business of making money and lending out money, a foreclosed property makes alot more work for the bank to deal with. Can you imagine having to take back a house you sold or lended to someone in need of your money and get stuck with the house?
    If you’ve missed multiple mortgage payments and you’re facing foreclosure, the bank or lender won’t automatically offer a short sale. You need to prove that your situation is difficult for a short sale, which typically involves providing documentation that proves you are indeed in dire straits, with no other viable options. And even if your situation fits, the bank or lender must still decide if your particular situation works for them financially.
    If they have a homeowner that has not paid the bill for a few months, due to hardship, double mortgages or abandonment of the property, it is likely that property will become a foreclosure. In this case, the bank will have to sit on that property for months, will have to pay repair and auction costs. This means they will essentially lose money on the property.
    So, when a borrower comes to them stating that they cannot pay back the full price of the loan, then the lender will usually agree to forgive the rest of the loan, this would be considered a short sale. In the world of real estate, short sales are the purchase of  pre-foreclosure sales.
    In the case of a pre-foreclosure sale, a seller is trying to sell of the home in order to avoid the bank foreclosing on their home and having this affect their credit rating. If the seller has tried to sell the house through a real estate agent and the mls , they will often take a short sale in order to accomplish getting rid of the loan amount due before foreclosure.
    The most common reason for the bank to  accept a pre-foreclosure sale is because of hardship. Another reason why they may also consider this option if the home has sat on the market for a long period of time without being able to sell the property. In many cases,  the owner is no longer able to make mortgage payments during such an long period of time to make a sale. A mortgage company may be willing to forgive a portion of the loan, but it isn’t likely unless the home has been sitting on the market for a substantial period of time and the homeowner can prove they were not able to pay.

    Even if a home owner is currently facing foreclosure, the lender will have to determine if your less than full payment would be worthwhile. Depending on your lending institution, some will require that you pay off the remaining amount of the loan, while others will require a repossession of other items to make up the difference.

    If you come upon a mortgage lending company that is willing to forgive your loan, be sure that you understand the amount given is not totally free. In some cases, , the IRS will consider the amount forgiven as taxable income that will need to be taxed and included in your end of the year tax return report. If this is the case you are still better off, meaning you will still save thousands by only oweing a small portion of the money than the entire deficiancy amount.

    Remember as well that if an investor is only willing to pay you 20-30% less than market value for your home, they should make concessions to take on the property “as is.” This means that you should not have to go through the normal route of negotiating repairs. A pre-foreclosure sale is meant to relieve you of the burden of your home and should not come with added stress.
