Aaron Mendez

I would be happy to email over a list of homes at NO cost and NO obligation. I primarily work with buyers all over Orange County. All I need to know is what cities or specific areas you are interested in and the price range you are looking to stay within and I'll shoot over an email with a list of homes right away.

Don't get caught up in the frenzy and end up paying more than you are willing to. Do your research before and know the MAX you are willing to pay. You can get great deals at auctions....but just know it is one of the most risky ways to acquire property! - Fri Jun 6 2008, 11:01

Hello Ray...
My name is Aaron Mendez and I live and work in the Sierra Del Oro area off of Green River. REO properties will give you an answer on your offer much faster than short sale listings (usually between 1 and 5 days). A short sale on the other hand can take longer because most of the time an agent listing a short sale, has not started negotiations with the bank. before they market the home for offers. Also, the price that is listed on the MLS might not be suitable for the bank....meaning....you could potentially offer full price on a short sale listing and still get countered by the bank for more money. Of course there are exceptions. I just successfully closed a transaction with a buyer on Mountainside (parallel to green river to the south). The process took a little over a month and a half but some of that was due to the buyers' financing. I'd be happy to help you out on your search and help you negotiate a great deal on a property in the area.
Feel free to call or email if you have ANY questions. I'm in this business for the long run, so whether it takes 2 months or 2 years...I'm here for you as a resource.
Best of luck.

Enzo,
I too specialize in working with buyers to negotiate the best possible deals on foreclosures. I can chat with you about the ins and outs of negotiating a foreclosure from start to finish. I've been very successful in getting closing costs paid for, termite work paid for, and even down payment assistance...ALL paid for by the bank! If the home needs a little work...which many bank owned homes do....I also have many connections to contractors and handy men who can help get the home the way YOU want it after a successful close. If you need someone who isn't afraid of being a fierce negotiator...I'm your man! I'd be happy to meet up and chat about the process over a cup up coffee sometime. Feel free to give me a call or email at your convenience. best of luck.

It shows up as sold when the bank "buys" it back. It last sold for $735,000 in 05'. Then it was refinanced in 06'. The bank (Fremont) recorded the sale at $484,500 on April 2nd.
Hope that helps. Let me know if there is any other info that I can get for you. Have a great day! - Tue Apr 22 2008, 11:20
