If you are facing a difficult situation such as Foreclosure or a Short Sale - You want to make sure you have a Professional Real Estate Advisor on your side.
These days is seems as though Everyone is claiming to be an Expert on Short Sales and Foreclosures -
The truth is, only a handful of Brokers have the Experience to successully handle a Short Sale.
Why?
Because a Short Sale is a lot of work - for your Agent that is. Not many agents are willing to do the work upfront so that when an Offer is received, the Sale can proceed smoothly and quickly.
True Story -
One of my clients sold their home and wanted to purchase a home in Raleigh that was listed as a Short Sale. It was listed by a so-called "Top Agent". Well this "Top Agent" didn't bother to contact the Lender when the home was listed or submit any of the required documents so that when an offer was made on the home, it could be sold quickly.
The agent was actually WAITING for an Offer to be made on the Home BEFORE they contacted the Lender!!!
My client could not wait MONTHS before he closed on his New Home, he had CASH IN HAND and wanted to buy a Home NOW!
How disappointed would that Seller have been to find out they LOST a BUYER because their Agent did not do what they were hired to do. Its disappointing for any Seller to lose a Buyer, but for a Seller who is facing Foreclosure to lose a Sale because of an agent who didn't do their job is especially heartbreaking.
If you are facing one of these difficult situations, it is especially important to work with a True Real Estate Professional. If you are lucky, many of the so-called "Short Sale Experts" have taken a class on the subject, but many don't even have that little experience with short sales.
I've actually SOLD homes that are Short Sales. I know what to do, and how to get a short sale approved.
I can't guarantee that I will save your Home from foreclosure, but I promise I will do everything I can to Sell Your Home and Save Your Credit.
Because I do the Hard Work Upfront, I was able to get the Lender's approval for my last Short Sale listing within 2 weeks. The Buyer was pleased and my Seller was delighted.

These days buying and selling a home can get complicated.
With the tougher lending standards, buyers and sellers can face some unpleasant surprises when they are buying or selling a home.
For example, appraisers have become stingy in valuing homes due to the fallout of the mortgage crisis. We all know home values have declined, but you may be shocked by what some bank appraisers value your home at.
Just recently I had a contract for sale on a nice home in Wake Forest. The buyer and seller were delighted with the contract we negotiated. However, a week before the Sale was to close we received the Lender's Appraisal. They had valued the home $20,000 less than the contract price!!
We were all stunned.
Normally, an appraisal that low means the deal is dead. The Buyer walks away and the Seller is disappointed.
But that did not happen in this case because I am a Professional.
I immediately contacted the appraiser and discussed the report with him in detail. I then researched the comparable sales he used to base the value on. I presented him with some better comparable sales that he overlooked and gave him some facts about the home and neighborhood that he was not aware of.
Bottom line - When presented with the facts, he agreed the home should have been valued higher - at least $20,000 higher!!
The sale went through without any problems and both the Buyer and Seller were delighted!
That is what using a Professional Real Estate Agent can do for you.
If you are thinking of buying or selling your home - hire a professional -

Are you considering a Short Sale?
If you are a Homeowner who is struggling to make your payments and you owe more than your house is worth, a Short Sale may be an option.
In a Short Sale, the Lender agrees to let you sell your house for less than you owe on your loan. This is a better option in most cases than facing foreclosure. It impacts your credit score less than a foreclosure, making it easier to purchase a home down the road.
But short sales are a lot of work - for your agent that is. So selecting an Agent who has done Short Sales before and is pro-active with the Lender is the Key to Success and your Future.
When you list a home as a Short Sale, the Agent has to compile a lot of documentation for your case and submit it to the Lender. If they do this in advance and keep in close contact with the Lender throughout the process, the sale should proceed quickly and without any surprises.
What if your agent does not do the Hard Work upfront? Make no mistake about it, They have cost YOU a sale.
If your Agent does not do the work upfront, Potential Buyers will walk away if they are told it will take months to get approval from the Lender on the sale.
Don't let an Agent cost you a Sale. Hire a Professional as soon as you consider a Short Sale for your Home.
If you find yourself in this position, call me. I've completed successful Short Sales when other agents have failed. All information will be held strictly confidential.
