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.

Time to Move >Qualified Movers
Whether you are moving across town or across the country, it is a good idea to shop around for a household mover. Local moving companies have always been very competitive. When interstate movers were more regulated by the Interstate Commerce Commission, they charged basically the same rates. Since that industry has been de-regulated, the rates are varied and even negotiable.
If you are in the market for a mover, get recommendations from friends or neighbors. Call several companies for estimates and ask how their rates are calculated. Find out what kind of insurance against damage or breakage is included in their charges and what additional coverage will cost. The charges are usually broken down into two areas--packing, and loading and unloading. You can sometimes save a considerable amount of money by doing your own packing, but doing so may limit the mover's liability.
