iStock_000007789001XSmallReally? Not a short sale? Not a foreclosure? It's called a " Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure" which actually lets a homeowner voluntarily turn over the deed to their house to the lender! This is not a new concept, however, neither is foreclosure, but this crazy real estate market we are living in now requires that you cover all you bases before making a final decision on how to get out from under your mortgage. Even though the federal government launched some new rules earlier this month concerning short sales, some homeowners might not quality for a short sale because they have no hardship. Could this be you? Read on please....<!--more--> Read more to learn about this option.

"Save Spork " I received an email last week with a link that you were suppose to click ://www.ipetitions.com/petition/savespork/ . Spork , a 10 year old miniature Dachshund was taken to Lafayette's Jasper Ani20100224_023512_spork1_200mal Hospital to have a bad tooth extracted. Spork is now up on "vicious animal charges" for biting a veterinarian technician. The owner said that dog was just in pain and scared, and so far the family has spent over $6000 on fees involved with the ticket. The courts will be reviewing the case in April 2010 and will decide if the dog should be euthanized or not. Read more about poor Spork's situation.

The Sellers representing themselves, paid a fee to have an agent enter the listinfsbog on the MLS system. After viewing this home, my buyer decided she wanted to make an offer since the home appeared to be what she was looking for. I cringed knowing that I would now be interacting directly with the Seller, although this shouldn't be an issue, it was. I prepared the offer and submitted it to the Sellers, who then had tons of questions and their own opinions of Real Estate contracts and Real Estate Law. Click here to read the rest of the story
