Short sale is a term that is heard more and more often in today’s real estate climate, but what exactly is a short sale? Click here for a list of short sale opportunities in the area A short sale is when the lender or bank agrees to accept less for the property than is currently owed on the mortgage. Sellers and buyers alike can benefit from a short sale. When a seller is in default of their mortgage and can no longer afford to stay in their home, a short sale is a viable avenue to explore. This is a better alternative for the seller than having the home foreclosed on by the bank. A short sale enables a seller to protect their credit, move forward financially and possibly purchase another home in as early as two years! For a buyer, purchasing a home on short sale can potentially mean acquiring more home within their given budget. This can be an exciting purchase. Please contact me to have a more in depth discussion about short sales as an option for buyers and sellers, or call me for a current list of short sale properties.

Closing or Settlement >Moving Day
Here are some tips for coordinating a move that depends on careful timing. Say the closing on the sale of your home is Friday morning at 11:00, and that afternoon at 3:00 you are to complete the transaction on the house you are buying. Your sellers are completing the purchase of their new house on Monday. As sellers, each of you is obligated to leave your house vacant and clean at the time of the closing. You will each take possession of the home you are buying after the closing.
If you are faced with a game of musical moving vans, you may want to negotiate with your buyers or sellers to remain in your old house for a few extra days or move your belongings into the new home a little early. You should draw up a written agreement which details your arrangement, such as the amount of rent, the move-in or move-out date, and any agreements regarding utilities, insurance, or a damage escrow. If you need to make special arrangements for your move, let your real estate agent know and work out the details as early as possible in advance of the closing.
