SHORT SALES - ALTERNATIVE TO FORECLOSURE

LORI COMFORT, Broker Buyers & Sellers Realty: Real Estate Agent in Hattiesburg, MS

If you are struggling to make your mortgage payments, I may be able to help you avoid foreclosure. Short sales are an alternative and are less harmful to you than a foreclosure. We strive to have your debt forgiven by the lender and in most cases it always is. A foreclosure generally forces someone into bankruptcy because the balance left owing is something the lender normally sues you for and the majority of the population that is in this situation does not have the funds to pay this debt so.....they file bankruptcy. Yes a short sale does affect your credit because you have missed payments and therefore have late pays on your report; however, bankruptcy and foreclosure are much harder to overcome.

I am certified in short sales and have went through extensive training for this process. You do not want to hand over this problem to any agent unless they have been specifically trained and can show you certification in this very serious process. You generally only have a few months for this to be approved or else foreclosure is just around the corner. I have been able to stop the Courthouse sale the day before the property was being sold by submitting a reasonable short sale offer.

The offer must be reasonable in order for the lender to accept this. The lender will verify valuation of the property through a third party. The property is sold "as is" . The seller is not allowed to pay or receive any funds through this transaction. The lender will incur any loss or expenses paid on the property including the commission for myself. The commission is withheld from the lender's proceeds.

A short sale can be a quick process; however, some short sales do take months to complete. It is very important that the buyer has an agent who also understand the process. I represent the buyer and the seller in many situations. I can also give references if needed for clients who have successfully completed a short sale with my assistance and direction.

I would be happy to meet with you to discuss your options. Please contact me immediately. Delaying the situation will NOT help this process. It is best to contact me before you get behind or as soon as you do. Many clients have contacted me before they even missed their first payment because they new they could not make the next payment so time is definitely of the essence.

Mississippi Real Estate Auction SUCCESS !!-) Great Prices for Commercial Property

Myers  Jackson: Real Estate Auctioneer in Tallahassee, FL

Mississippi Real Estate Auction well attended

Last Thursday may the 12th was a eventful day in Southern Mississippi, with a bit of over cast sky, just enough to allow us to get out of the 90 degree heat, there was a real Estate Auction of 14.38 acres in Petal, Mississippi. Auction site cleared and the blue and white tent stood out as by passers form the highway honked their horns a s the Auctioneer cried bids selling dirt by the square foot. There were four radio stations doing live broadcasts while interviewing attendees that represented everyone for buyers to local charities and the sellers of the Real Estate.

The Auctioneer ask for bids by the square foot with lots of commercial ranging anywhere from 11,900 sg ft to over 44,000 square foot. Tracts were offered high bidders choice which means that the high bidder can choose any tract available or any combination there of. There ended up being three bidders that won the bidding war and the seller accepted contracts without hesitation.

With 43 in attendance and 19 registered the Auction was a success, hopefully I will have photos and video very soon.

Auction marketing produced a well qualified group of bidders with the ability to close in cash, sellers were very happy with the turn out as well as the final price.

All sellers always want more , however we try to set realistic expectations in an Auction Scenario, and most times the result is market price for the current conditions...
