Short Sale Homes for Sale! CHEAP!

Attention Home Buyers! Buy a Short Sale Home for Sale and save 10%-50% on your next home purchase!

Why buy a short sale home?

1.) The sales prices of most short sale properties are actually sold for LESS than foreclosure homes. This is due to the fact that a foreclosure proceeding costs a lender $58,000 on average. Lenders are also in the money lending business, NOT the property management business. Due to these facts, a lender will typically accept well below market value on a property in order to avoid foreclosure.

2.) Not only do you get a steal of a deal on your home purchase, but you get to help a home owner out of a very difficult financial situation and hardship.

3.) As short sales have become more and more common, the lenders are streamlining the short sale process, and the best homes are being sold off as short sales prior to foreclosure.

Many short sale homes are actually not even offered for sale to the general public. They are sold privately, and not offered in public listing forums. That is why it is important to have an experienced short sale specialist realtor to locate the perfect property for you! We are a nationwide network of short sale experts, who offer 100% free short sale services to home buyers and sellers.

Header image

Jacksonville Florida First Time Home Buyers! - $8,000 Tax Credit!

As part of the economic stimulus package, there is a tax credit of up to $8,000 available for first time home buyers in Jacksonville FL, St. Augustine, and Orange Park Florida!

  • This is a true tax "credit", and you do NOT have to pay back the money!
  • A "First Time Home Buyer" is defined as somebody who has not owned a home in the last three years.
  • The tax credit you receive is determined by the purchase price of the house.  It is for 10% of the purchase price of the home, up to $8,000.
  • The credit is applicable for home purchases made on principle residences between January 1st, 2009 and December 1st, 2009.

With interest rates at all time lows, and home prices lower than they have been in over six years, this is a very small window of opportunity to purchase a home!  Let me show you how it is more affordable to own rather than rent!  If you have any other questions about the $8,000 tax credit or available financing for a home,visit http://www.firstcoastre.com/professional397.shtml or give me a call or email. 

Get started on your home search today! Visit http://www.firstcoastre.com/custom3.shtml for the most advanced home search in the world! Jacksonville First Time Home buyers should not delay buying a home, as this opportunity will be gone next year. Don't believe everything you see in the media, homes that are priced right in Jacksonville Florida are selling fast, and the Jacksonville Housing Market is not as bad as most think.

5 Reasons our government should take over JP Morgan Chase

Chase Short Sales

#1 Keith K
#2 Darlin H
#3 Chris G
#4 Michael B
#5 Matthew H

UPDATE 08/26 - (I used to have the full names AND phone numbers listed above for the negotiators and supervisors, but took them off for reasons noted below!!)

Update 10/27 - Matt H. Just redeemed himself by processing and approving a short sale in a very timely manor. Actually, it was this property referenced in this post that finally will be closing this Friday! We are still however having issues with Chase, as they are in the running with Bank of America for the slowest and most inconsistent to process short sales.

Who are these people you ask? They are all negotiators or supervisors in the loss mitigation department of Chase Home Finance. The reason for leaving each one of these peoples number up there, is because every one of their voice mails is completely filled up, and they stay that way pretty much all the time. They never answer, they have no email addresses, and you can almost never reach them.

Why does our government need to take over Chase completely? They are in complete shambles. Plain and simple. One of the short sales submitted to them from us is for an active duty military person, who is forced to sell his home ONLY because he is serving our country and getting relocated. I made literally 30-40 calls today alone trying to reach any one of these individuals above, or some competent person with Chase who could tell me where exactly this short sale file is after being submitted 100% complete six weeks ago. No luck for the last two weeks, calling them almost daily.

I also read from another AR blog post the other day that Chase sent an approval letter for a 1.8Million dollar offer (after 3 months waiting) three days after they sold it on the courthouse steps through foreclosure for 1.5Million! When some lenders are getting better at processing short sales and approving them, Chase seems to be getting worse in most cases! Chase/Chase Home Finance/JP Morgan Chase - Pathetic. Ironically, EMC, which is a subsidiary of Chase, is probably the best lender there is when it comes to approving short sales..

We will likely not be doing any more Chase short sales, and are on the verge of starting to suggest to our clients "Chase doesn't do short sales anymore, you might as well let your house foreclosure"!
