No more waiting. I am seeing new listings that are bank owned properties. Many of these homes are priced incredibly low. I am even seeing homes that were considered "Luxury" homes at the lowest prices I have ever seen. Call me if you are ready to purchase. I recently viewed a home on 5 acres with 5000 square feet and a water / territorial view, loaded with upgrades. This home would have been worth 900,000 2 years ago and is now 470,000. Now is your chance for more home with less money! Bernie Moats 360-701-3131

Looking for an agent with REO, Bank Owned sales experience. The best service that can be offered would be from a local agent, one that resides and works the county the property is located in. I often see listings with agents from towns over an hour away. They do not even have local phone numbers. Local Realtors are more in touch with the local market, for example Kirkland and Olympia are completely different markets. Why would you hire an agent that is not close enough to show the home themselves, refill fliers, put up a sign that fell down or do a drive by to see there has not been vandalism? Even certain neighborhoods are quite different from others in price with-in the same town, how would an out of town agent know this? Need an agent in Thurston County, call me I know this County.

Many home owners are in financial crisis due to unemployment, victims of past predatory lenders or just over extended. Do not delay in getting real estate advice from an agent that is qualified to understand short sales and foreclosures. Short sales are usually better for your future credit then full foreclosure. Don't let discouragement keep you from positioning yourself for the best resolution to your situation. Call a qualified REALTOR with the SFR (Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource) Certificate today!

When searching for opportunities and "deals" in this real estate market many properties will be short sales. Working with an agent that is experienced with Short Sales will help you avoid wasted time and disappointment.

2010 will be a good time to buy real estate if you have been waiting for prices to hit bottom. I think we are almost there. Investment property, rental homes and condos will be ripe for the picking. Start shopping early in January and you will not be disappointed.
