Haddonfield, NJ

I know that there is a lot of information out there regarding the $8,000 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit, so I wanted to share the most recent update from HUD. As you can see buyers are now able to access that tax credit and use it towards their downpayment and closing costs.

I just read a great article about short sales. I don't agree at all with the idea that short sales are rarely worth the trouble, but what I do love about the article is that it shows that there are still a lot of real estate agents out there that don't know how to handle a short sale properly. this quote is great, '"Short sales are really not worth the effort," says Serina Lancia, a real estate agent in Old Tappan, New Jersey. "We've had a few attempts by interested buyers, but they seem to get the short end of the stick and end up walking away," she explains.' I hear this all the time from other agents, but I truly believe that they are speaking from a lack of experience and knowledge. My goal isn't to speak badly about other agents, but just to point out that not all agents are equal. If you are selling your home in a short sale or buying one, it is important to work with a professional who can navigate you through the process and give you realistic expectations on the front end.

This is a video that was posted on my Twitter site by one of the people that are following me.  I thought that it was interested and wanted to share it on this blog.  There are many points that we have tried to educate our clients and customers about.  The one that stick in my mind is the one that seller are desperate.  Sellers may have different reasons as to why they are selling their homes, but I haven't come across anyone that was willing to "give" their home away because they were desperate.

So, without further adeiu, watch and enjoy the video.
