Stop Foreclosure: How do I find a Denver Realtor that specializes in short sale

Denver CO – Are you looking for a Denver Realtor that specializes in short sales. It is important that you pick the right agent. Many agents turn down short sale listings because they are unfamiliar with the process. These transactions are much more difficult and complicated than your average real estate transaction.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

Because of the foreclosure process, you usually only have one chance at a short sale. If your first agent isn't competent, then you risk losing your house to foreclosure. Then you have to wait another 5-7 years to buy your next house. First, ask the agent you are interviewing why they qualify to help you. Do they have any special short sale training or designations? Many agents have taken specialized training and education. They care about being up to date with the current trends in the market.

Next ask them how much experience they have selling short sales. An agent who has closed a few short sales is a lot better prepared than an agent that has not. You want someone experienced working for you.

Who is your lender? Ask the agent is they have closed any short sales with your lender. Every lender handles short sales a little bit differently. If your lender is ABC Lender and the agent has experience with ABC Lender, then they already know the process. Your agent will be prepared because they are familiar with that lenders' process.

After that, ask the agent how they negotiate their short sales? They may do the follow up themselves. Or, they may hire a competent title company or loss mitigation company to do it for them. Either way is fine. Just make sure the person handling your file is suited for the job.

Denver Real Estate-Be a Well Prepared Seller Prior to Marketing Your Home

Westminster CO – Prior to placing your home on the market, get an unbiased opinion on the condition and value of your property!

Ok, what do we mean by "unbiased opnion"? If your home is over 12 years old, there is a good chance that something may need repaired, replaced, or a correction of a deficiency, i.e.: HVAC, water heater, plumbing, landscaping, roofing.

With that in mind, you will want to hire a property inspector to provide you an opinion of what will be an issue at the buyer's inspection. That is the "unbiased opinion", outside of your Realtor and yourself, as the homeowner. It is BEST to discover these items so corrective action can take place prior to placing the home on the market.

The next item that may need addressed, depending on the property, i.e.: historical, unique, custom build with no close comps, is coming up with market value. When you have an unusual property, it does not hurt to have a licensed appraiser review the property and provide an appraisal. Thus, having an "unbiased opinion" to assist in coming up with a starting list price for the home.

Not all properties may require the appraisal, if other very similar properties can be used as good comps.

As far as the property inspection goes, it would benefit you to get that done!
Especially, the fix n flip investors that had work performed WITHOUT pulling permits, regardless if you did the work or a hired contractor!!

Past experiences with investors has caused them $15,000 to $25,000, due to NOT pulling permits and work completed did NOT satisfy code!!


Be a well prepared Seller before placing your home on the market! A well defined game plan will benefit you and the value of your property!!

Stop Foreclosure: More Reasons Why Denver Short Sales Fail

 
Westminster CO – We recently gave a couple of common reasons that short sales fail. Today, we will go thru a few more reasons.

(To recap, here were the reasons we put in our previous blog post. Reason #1: The sales price is lower than the lender wants. The lender thinks the home is worth more than it is selling for and won’t approve the short sale unless the price is for the value they have.

Reason #2: The tenant doesn’t allow the home to be showed. Many tenants do not want the home to be shown to buyers because they will have to move before it sells.)

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

Reason #3: Your realtor never followed up with the lender. Short sale negotiators are not in a rush. They don’t get paid by the file.

They also make the rules. They will issue ultimatums. “Get me this document by Tuesday. If you don’t, then I will cancel the short sale process.”

Restarting the short sale process will set you back 30-60 days. If your agent doesn’t follow up on the process regularly and quickly respond to requests, then your short sale may be canceled.

Reason #4: Your realtor didn’t keep their paperwork organized. Lenders want correct paperwork that is properly filled out. They want everything organized.

Most short sale departments are a bureaucracy. They have checklists to fill out, forms to check, and other things to check.

If your agent is not organized, then they won’t be able to give them the correct paperwork. They might lose paperwork and have to hunt down replacements.

This takes time and slows down the process. So, be sure you hire an organized, competent agent to help you with your short sale. Thinking about a short sale?

Short Selling Your Denver House? Why Not Get Out Of Debt At The Same Time?

Westminster CO – A short sale is the best option to erase upside down mortgage debt. A homeowner can often erase hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

I assume that you are looking to short sale for the following reasons.

1. Debt Reduction. You want to short sale and wipe out the upside down debt. You can’t afford or don’t want to repay the upside down debt.

2. You are willing to suffer the resulting credit damage a short sale will bring. Part of your rational is that the credit damage will be well worth the resulting reduction in debt.

If you are going to suffer the credit damage, then you might as well wipe out the rest of your debt at the same time. Make sense?

Here are a few debts you can erase at the same time when you are short selling your house.

* Credit card debts. You can often re-negotiate better terms on your credit card debts. An interest rate reduction from 18% to 10% will make a huge difference on your monthly payments.

You can even just go “cold turkey” on these debts and just stop paying them at all. Many of them will settle with you for as low as 50% of the balance owed.

If you wait for 6 months, then you can sometimes settle for even less than 50%.

* Car loans. Many people have been able to negotiate a lower interest rate on their car loans. This results in a lower monthly payment.

* Other unsecured loans. You can re-negotiate better terms with these lenders or just stop paying them altogether. Thinking about a short sale?
