Bob Chapman

King & Snohomish County, Washington Short Sale Specialist - Seller's & Buyer's

02-26-10
Bob Chapman

Bob Chapman, Windermere Real Estate/Lake Stevens, is experienced as a real estate Short Sale Specialist in King & Snohomish County, Washington State. I have the knowledge and expertise to help you in either providing assistance to Seller's in the Short Sale selling process or Buying a Short Sale home.

Short Sales and Distressed Homes for sale make up a large percentage of the available homes for sale in King & Snohomish County. Selling or Buying distressed real estate properties can be difficult for both Seller's and Buyer's in negotiating with the underlying lender (lien holder) in obtaining the desired decision from the lender, acceptance of the offer presented. Each lender has a set of rules for receiving and reviewing any offers that may be presented to them for Short Sale consideration. I have successfully negotiated many Short Sales with several different lien holders.

Short Sale homes are often homes in foreclosure and may already be involved in the foreclosure process. I may, not gauranteed, be able to help save you from foreclosure, even if you have received a Forclosure Notice!

Bad Weather Has Buyer's Staying Home in Puget Sound Region

12-22-08
Bob Chapman

Just as interest rates reach near historical lows, thus spurring some real estate Buyer activity, old man winter throws a cold icy blanket on the scene. The unusually harsh winter weather in the Pacific Northwest, especially the greater Pudet Sound region, has sent potential home buyer's to the warmth of the shopping mall or just staying home rather than slogging thru the cold deep snow and ice piled high in the driveways and streets of subdivisions.
