Ray, Home Seller in Cincinnati

Can you enter into a Deed in Leiu of Foreclosure on a second home or rental property?

Asked Fri Nov 14 2008, 16:46 by Ray  -  45220  -  Foreclosure  -  3 answers
Sheri Mapes answered:
Hello Ray:

I totally agree with William Metzker's answer to your question. Every bank's policy is different, so there isn't one stock answer to this question. You need to inquire at the bank to know for sure. If they do not want to accept a deed in leiu, I would suggest a short sale if there is a hardship situation. You need to put the home on the market with a Realtor first. Then the Realtor would help you with the short sale process. Good luck.

Hi Mindy:

I wanted to add to what I just posted. There are great views of the River and Skyline in the Down Town area in Cincinnati as well as on the Kentcuky side. There are a couple of places on the Cincinnati Side to give to you. Mount Adams, Mt Auburn Prospect Hill are a couple of great areas. I can send some to you if you email me at Sheri.Mapes@cbws.com Thanks!

Hello Mindy:

I would love to work with you if you could contact me at 513-253-7156. I could get your email and set you up in the MLS system here in Cincinnati. You would receive home to your email right when they come on the market. This is the best way to get the latest information to you. I work with buyers in the greater Cincinnati area. I could get you an agent that could get you comps in Kentucky as well. Contact me today. I work with Coldwell Banker West Shell.

Thank you

Additional help with Chase Bank offers

Asked Wed Oct 29 2008, 22:43 by lnared  -  Cincinnati  -  Home Buying  -  3 answers
Sheri Mapes answered:
Hello Inared:

I understand your frustrations with the banks. I have had clients in the same boat. Unfortunately, the banks will do what they want to do. They do not usually sign anything when that the offer has been rejected. They work on a verbal until they accept the offer and it is signed at that time. Even the counter offers are usually handled verbally followed by the listing agent sending an email. Just make sure that you have an updated pre appoval letter/proof of funds if cash offer, with a copy of earnest money when your offer is sent. Banks will not look at the offer if that is not with it. Also, some banks expect a certain amount for your earnest money. That will be stated in MLS and your agent should see this and let you know. Hope this helps and good luck!
