Dear Vicki,
Unfortunately I don't know anything about Davis Foreclosure, but I strongly recopmmend you attend the workshop. At the very least, I think you will find they will provide you with helpful information regarding the foreclosure process and the options available to you. I applaud you for being pro-active to save your home and wish you the very best.

Why the listing agent does NOT accept my higher offer? I want to make a offer on a short sales and my buyer

Asked Wed Apr 2 2008, 16:06 by Tien - San Jose - Home Buying - 5 answers

J. R. Lewis answered:

Dear Tien,
I know it sounds crazy, but this is the way the banks operate. They will anly deal with one offer at a time, even though, yours may well be a better offer. I'm sure your agent wishes they would look at yours, but he or she is telling you the truth. That is just one of the reasons that short sales are so frustrating for all invloved. Good luck and I hope that you and your agent can find the right property for you. - Wed Apr 2 2008, 16:58

Is there a rule when it comes to making an offer on a pre-foreclosed home?

Asked Tue Feb 5 2008, 19:22 by Robyn - Tehachapi - Foreclosure - 8 answers

J. R. Lewis answered:

There is one very important law you need to know about. If you are planning to buy a property on which a notice of default has been filed and you, yourself, do not intend to occupy the house, you must use a special purchase contract that includes a right of rescision for the sellers. Buyers and agents that have violated this rule are being taken to court and can face both civil and criminal penalties. My advice is to consult a realtor, who understands this very important law. - Thu Mar 20 2008, 15:37
