Have You Heard of HAFA? Do You Qualify for a HAFA Short Sale? What is HAFA?

What in the world is HAFA? From the CDPE website, www.CDPE.com

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TXx8rKy-Ow&feature=related

I love my CDPE designation! The above video is one of the MANY reasons why. Alex Charfen and other CDPEs really make a difficult process simple!

Clearly, CDPEs are THE real estate agents to go to if you or someone you know needs to sell a Short Sale property! The banks know that selling a short sale is a hassle and, partly because of this, part of the HAFA program REQUIRES a distressed homeowner to seek the aid of a licensed real estate agent to sell their home.

A very misunderstood thing about Short Sale transactions is that THE BANK pays my commission on behalf of a distressed homeowner! The homeowners may think they cannot afford me but they CAN because THEIR bank pays me! Woot!

And, yes, I am a CDPE, or Certified Distressed Property Expert for Short Sales!

Buy or Sell a Home in Central Florida; Orlando, Longwood, Lake Mary, Maitland...

If You are Buying or Selling a Home in Central Florida, don't do it on your own!

Even if you are buying your second or third home, it's still a great idea to have a professional REALTOR represent you in the purchase of your home. If you are a first-time Buyer, it's even a BETTER idea to utilize the services of a REALTOR. Lastly, selling your home just got fairly difficult and using a REALTOR to gain the maximum exposure for your home is a great idea to sell it for more money, in less time, and with less hassle than if you were to take on an agent's job and attempt to sell your home on your own.

Down Payment Assistance Through the Florida Bond Program

If you are looking for a home in Central Florida and are having difficulty getting 3.5% of the total purchase price for the Down Payment, contact us for more information about the Florida BOND Program and get either $7,500 or $5,000 for your down payment, closing costs, and pre-paid items. Watson Mortgage Corp. is a certified lender for the program and can see if you qualify for this money. The $7,500 or $5,000 is basically a 2nd loan that must be paid back eventually BUT is ZERO % interest for the life of the loan and gets paid back when you sell the property.

Central Florida Homes and the Real Estate Market: Do You Have "THE SKINNY"?

The Orlando Regional REALTOR Association/ORRA has the newest/February edition of "The Skinny." The Skinny is a quick, fairly comprehensive overview of EVERYTHING real-estate-related for the previous month. Check out the median home sales price for January, $103,000, according to The Skinny, which to my estimation is definitely brought down by extremely low sales prices. If you took out bank-owned and short sale properties (impossible--but if you did), the median home sales price would be about $169,000 for January 2010.

The Skinny is a well-put-together couple-minute video about current market conditions in the Orlando area. Click below to enjoy this month's "The Skinny" from Orlando Regional Realtor Association.

Let me know how you enjoyed this second edition of The Skinny, brought to you by ORRA. Personally, I think it's pretty good.
