3 Myths and Truths About Short Sales

3 Myths and Truths About Short Sales

Myth #1

Lenders want to foreclose on delinquent homeowners.

Truth

Lenders are in the business of loaning, not owning.

Myth #2

Financilally distressed homeowners have worked through all their options with their lenders

Truth

7 out of 10 financilly distressed homeowners who go into foreclosure do so without VISIBLE intervention. Financially distressed means stressed. These homeowners may not realize there are positive options, and they could be avoiding creditors instead of working for a win-win solution.

Myth #3

Short Sales are hard.

Truth

Our Client-First Philosophy

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.

That said, in my experience as a Baltimore real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.

This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.

Sellers are advised to obtain legal advice regarding the advisability and terms of any short sale agreement with creditor(s) and professional tax advice regarding the tax implications of any such sale.

This process will result in the loss of your home.

What Is An Expired Listing?

What Is An Expired Listing?

An expired listing is a property that was on the market for 90-days and was not successful in selling because of wrong price, wrong marketing of the condition of the property. This can cause buyer reluctance and stigmatize a property. When a sellers property becomes shopworn due to lack of attention, oftentimes the agent will lose interest or not have a plan B to get it sold. This can cause a home to sell for a lot less.

The Baltimore Short Sale Team has many simple solutions that can help a property sell that most agents overlook or lack the experience in getting it sold. If you know of anyone having a difficult time in selling their property, you should call Aaron Rice 443-244-0051 or aaron@baltimorehometeam.com.

GET YOUR HOME SOLD TODAY!

GET YOUR HOME SOLD TODAY!

So many homeowners today are struggling with the sale of their home and are experiencing little or no activity. However, there are three keys that all sellers should pay attention to in order to ensure that a sale will happen and in a relatively short period of time. Don't make the same mistakes as thousands of homeowners have across America.

Three simple steps will help you to achieve a satisfying sale that will get you top dollar for your property-all without letting your home sit on the market for months.

Now is the time to be out on the market finding the buyers that will say yes to your home, and pay you top market value. You don't have to gamble on whether your home will sell or not. Many times a decision to hire a weak agent in a weak moment will cost you more than just time and money.

There are three keys to getting the most money in the shortest time for your home, even in today's challenging market. The first starts with setting a realistic price. It is imperative to strategically price your home according to the area where buyers are buying. See what comparable homes are selling for in your neighborhood. Second is the condition of the property-you want to be the shinning star in a buyers market. Most people will make a decision right away whether or not they like your home, and you don't get a second opportunity to make a good first impression. Third, select the right agent that can help you determine a price to sell. This does not mean giving the home away at an unfair price; it means finding the buyer who is right for you. Buyers often buy with emotion, and our exclusive fourteen-point marketing plan helped us sell over fifty homes in 2007.
