West Memphis, AR

It has been raining since 7 this morning, but it didn't ruin the happy day for my buyer who closed on her first home in West Memphis, Ar.!!

She is not just another first time buyer of mine, she is a very hard working single mom first time home buyer who was referred to me from an old client. I wrote a blog about her 2 months ago A successful story of credit repair to become a home owner at last and we closed this morning at 9 am.

She was beyond excited and I am so proud of her to achieve her dream of owning her first house and call it home for her children and herself. She told me she is going to spend her Thanksgiving Dinner at her new home, it is so heart warming.

Helping clients like her is very rewarding. Frankly, I do want buyers are able to buy when they come to me, who don't? Yet, I don't mind working with clients like her, help them to go back on track, they follow my advice and step by step achieving their goal of buying a house and call it home. Seeing that big smile on their face at closing is priceless.

I have a few more clients are under "repairing" right now, I can't wait to see the end result for them - closing on their first home. It may take a little time, but bit by bit, it can be done.

Are you ready to make the change for better?

A truly short SHORT SALE story in West Memphis Ar

Short Sale, anyone who did one before knows there is nothing short about it. I am not claiming to be a short sale specialist, we don't have enough short sales in our market to call it a niche, which is good actually.

As economy being unstable as it is, many home owners fall into the same financial crisis; losing their job, make less than before, divorce, health issues, you name it and it is out there. Even though we are not saturated with short sales in our market, we still have some shares out there.

I got a call from a home owner about a month or 2 ago, he wanted to see if I could help him to list his house as a short sale. He already talked to his bank and that's what they suggested him to do. We met, we talked, I explained and prepared him how short sale works and the length of time may involve.

Next day after the sign was put in the yard, an investor called me and she put an offer. From the day I sent it to the bank to get a response from them, it only took about 1 week. We got the approval! We closed last Tuesday.

I got a great negotiator assigned to this file, he was so responsive and willing to listen. It only took him 3 days to approve the sales. I am so appreciative of him.

It takes team work to make things happen, I am glad I had a great team this time.
