Divorce and Separation Listings

Copyright (c) 2012, Deanna & Jim's GOLD Team

Listing agents are often contacted by spouses evaluating selling their home while discussing resolving their marital difficulties via separation or divorce.

In such circumstances the agent needs to remember to be focused on a positive spirit of contributing to assisting the principals involved in pursuing whatever choices they settle on, which may or may not include selling or leasing out a home.

Those involved in the possible changes in marital situation often change their perspectives and plans. Getting information on selling a home does not necessarily mean that they have commited with clear mind to going forward with a sale. In addition, the other party to the marriage, who is often also named on the deed, may have very different ideas, and changing opinions.

In such situations an agent should be focused on providing accurate and timely information and answers to questions, not on closing signatures on a listing agreement.

The GOLD Team has worked with many couples in these situations and is always pleased to help.

Hardwood in Northern Virginia Bedrooms Not!

Hardwood in Northern Virginia Bedrooms Not

Copyright (c) 2012, Deanna and Jim's GOLD Team

The buyer was a flooring installation expert. Having just purchased a trashed townhome in a low income area one of his first decisions was to install hardwood flooring throughout the two-level townhome (except the bathrooms)!

Besides costing more than carpet and pad this flooring choice may actually have made the home less attractive to the majority of potential renters and/or buyers.

In the cold-winter Northern Virginia climate most buyers prefer carpeted bedrooms. Hardwood floors are too cold for bare feet in sleeping areas! So the buyers end up having to put in area rugs in hardwood-floored bedrooms.

Hardwood is classy, and it gleams. It is generally not preferred by tenants of buyers in bedroom areas, unless they have respiratory issues requiring hard surface floors everywhere.

When Would a Lender Refer a Short-Seller to an Agent?

When Would a Lender Refer a Short-Seller to an Agent?

Clipart Illustration Of An Orange Man Rubbing His Chin And Posed By A Question Mark Symbolizing Curiousity Confusion And Uncertainty by Leo Blanchette"Riddle me this, Batman. When would a loan officer refer a client to a real estate agent for help with a short sale?"

Obviously short sales normally leave the short-seller not in a position to immediately purchase, so this seems like a valid question.

Well, Mr. Riddler, sometimes there is a couple involved and one of the couple is alone on the note for the short sale, but the other of the couple has the credit adequate to qualify for the purchase of the next home.

Even if both names are on the deed, those whose names are on the notes have their credit impacted by a short sale, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or foreclosure.

The GOLD Team are northern Virginia residential real estate experts with over 605 transactions in the last 11 years. We have handled over 150 foreclosures, scores of short sales, scores of investor transactions and hundred of normal buyer and seller transactions.
