Jeff Royce answered:
Glenda is right. If you want to be notified of the price and terms at settlement, go to FranklyMLS (http://tinyurl.com/p36npe) and save the house as a favorite. You will automatically get an email with the details of the closing as soon as it occurs. - Sun May 10 2009, 17:48

How do I buy tax forclosed houses? Thanks Rick.

Jeff Royce answered:
Rick...foreclosed houses are sold right alongside "normal" houses. Click on the link below to search for houses...add the word BANK to see foreclosed houses in particular. When you find a house, have your agent write an offer just like they would on any house. There are some particular strategies you can use with foreclosed houses when you write an offer. Have your agent explain those to you, as it will depend on the situation with the particular house you want to buy. - Sun Mar 8 2009, 11:05

Regular sale has become a short sale?

Jeff Royce answered:
1. Find out if the listing agent has ever successfully negotiated a short sale before. Don't just take his word for it, but have your agent check his history in the MLS to find out exactly what the listing agent has done re: short sales.

2. After seeing that information, consider bringing in a professional negotiator who has experience negotiating short sales with banks. These people work alongside the agents to make the short sale go through with the bank, or tell you upfront that it's not likely to go through. Most agents know very little about negotiating with banks, so bringing in someone who knows how to deal with the bank could be the key to making it happen.

They can bring a huge benefit to both the seller (example: ensuring the bank won't come back to them later for the remaining money) and the buyer (example: telling you right away if it is likely to go through instead of waiting months for a property that likely will never close as a short sale). - Wed Mar 4 2009, 06:36
