Denver Perl Mack homes wanted

12-06-11

Denver Area Distressed Perl Mack Homes wanted

If you are considering selling, short selling or allowing your Denver area Perl Mack home to go into foreclosure, please STOP and call us first!  Allowing your home to go into foreclosure is a terrible idea that can have serious long term credit and financial consequences.  You are almost always better off by doing a 'short sale' with an experienced Colorado short sale real estate broker.  By doing a short sale you may be eligible to get an FHA loan again in as soon as two years!  A foreclosure will generally require seven year before obtaining a loan.

We specialize in selling Perl Mack homes in the Denver metro area.  Oftentimes, we have multiple fix and flip buyers already lined up.  We can negotiate the short sale with your bank or multiple lien holders, we can procure an offer, and follow the process through in detail while keeping you fully informed the entire way.  This will usually allow you, the homeowner to simply 'walk away' from the house is the lender approves the short sale and forgives any definciency.

Usually the short sale process will take anywhere from 3-6 months to complete, during that time you don't want to be constantly interupted with home showings, offers that require inspection approvals and appraisal approvals in order to close.  By accepting an offer that has inspection and/or appraisal contigencies, you are opening yourself up to the possiblity that the contract may not close and the bank will not extend the time until a foreclosure sale is held.  IF a foreclosure sale is held, you will almost certainly be liable for any deficiencies in the mortgage amounts, attorney fees, and court fees and costs.

Some of our Perl Mack home buyers can even close as fast as seven days or less!

Bofa short sale processors suck!

07-13-11

Wells Fargo showed up, where's Bofa?

Wells Fargo just did a Foreclosure Prevention meeting in Denver yesterday to meet face to face with homeowners to help prevent foreclosure and solve their problems.  While this may have been a publicity stunt, at least Wells Fargo showed up.

We have a short sale with Bofa that has been in process with a short sale processsor since Jan 30th of this year.  The seller is HAFA approved.  However, due to Bofa delays the first buyer walked, no problem, that happens, we had a backup buyer for the same price, terms, etc.  Here we are after six months, and no approval despite the assurance of every processor, manager, escalation, and attempt to deal with Bofa representatives and despite using the vaunted Equator system for managing short sales.

Now, it turns out that the second buyer, who has been waiting patiently, will be unable to qualify for a new loan when the underwriting guidelines change on July 24th.  When Bofa was informed of this, and repeatedly told that the terms are and have been the same for over two months now, their response was "oh well, you'll just have to start over again, we have our processess".

Here's a big shoutout to the caring and dedicated reps at Bofa:

Carol Phillips
Dee
Kellie - She would not give me a managers name or contact info.  Said
this is the process we have to go through and if we do lose this buyer and
submit a new one, we will start over again, same process.
LRC dept Monique
Sheilah

Carol Phillips manager - Chamene Miranda
Angela Leyva

and although there are more, this short list witl have to do for now, you get the idea

You all suck and have been useless!

Denver Colorado Live Work space for lease

Live Work Space for Lease in Denver.

There are very few live/work spaces for lease in the Denver Metro area. Especially cheap ones that make sense for someone starting a new business or expanding out of their home for the first time. Located at 4640 Pecos Street in Denver, basically at the intersection of Pecos Street and I-70, the space offers very convenient quick access to I-70.

For this live work space the landlord is only asking $1,500 per month for approximately 1,550 sq ft on the first floor and 700 square feet on the second floor. The upstairs has a full kitchen, bathroom with shower and two other rooms that can serve as bedrooms or smaller studios. Complete with hardwood and tile flooring, the floor care is very low maintenance. The lower lever has glass storefront, painted concret floor, a bathroom, and a small storage room in the back.

The potential uses for this leasable space are endless. Their is an upscale local winery and Quiznos located in the same building. This space would make a great Dance studio, workout facility, Martial Arts school, or retail store. Previously the space was used as a flower store. The first floor has an ADA bathroom, spiral HVAC ductwork, fashionable open stair steel staircase to the second floor, and lots of power outlets. The new Denver zoning is I-MX-3, or Industrial zoning in old Denver zoning code speak. It can also be used for a motocycle store, auto repair, bicycle manufacturing, distillery, electronics, metal polishing, etc.

For additional information and to set and appointment to see the space, please contact:

Commercial leasing broker in Colorado

Building not leasing?  It might be your advertising

The small building leasing market is very active right now, and it has been for the last 3- 6 months.  The property has to be priced right, of course, but the amount of people and businesses looking for small industrial, office, and retail lease space is very high.

If your building space is not leasing and you have it priced correctly for this market, then you should be looking at your advertising.  Are you getting the traffic and showings that you think you should be getting?

We are leasing specialists and have leased over 10 small lease spaces successfully (under 4,000 sq feet) in just the last 90 days.  The lessees have ranged from Speech therapists, language instructors, attorneys, janitorial  services, property managers, insurance agents, massage therapists, and sports specialties businesses.

We are successful where other, sometimes larger brokerage firms are not due to our personal involvement, attention to detail, proprietary internet marketing skills, and hard work.  If  you would  like us to take a look at your property, we would be happy to give you an honest appraisal of the situation for leasing or even sale.
