Short Sales in a Buyer’s Market
June 10th, 2008 categories: Communities, Covington Park, Home Buyer Information, Home Seller Information, News Around The Bay, Preforeclosure, Short Sales Tampa, Tampa Real Estate
There are many homes on the market today, a good number of them listed as short sales. The basic definition in the Tampa market of a short sale is a home that will be sold for less than the actual amount owed.
Patience is a key word for buyers in making an offer on a short sale. Waiting for a third party approval can seem endless but once approved the process can move along quickly and buyers find themselves the proud owner of a home often times with built in equity.
Communication is an important part of the process, be sure to choose a Real Estate professional with short sales experience, willing to go the extra mile in keeping in touch and following up with sellers lenders and buyers to keep the transaction moving forward.

The Buyer’s Side of a Short Sale Transaction
May 23rd, 2008 categories: Communities, Covington Park, Home Buyer Information, News Around The Bay, Preforeclosure, Short Sales Tampa, Tampa Real Estate
With so many homes on the market these days listed as short sales, it makes alot of sense for buyers to consider a short sale purchase. One thing for sure is that buyers need to be patient when waiting on the lender’s approval. The good news is once that process is complete, buyers are finding it was worth the wait and they have purchased a home with immediate equity.
The best place to start when looking for a short sale property (or any other property for that matter ) is to talk to a lender and get a pre approval for an amount you are comfortable with, not how much they are willing to lend but how much you are willing to spend. All short sale offers are stronger when accompanied with a pre- approval and are often required to be submitted with a contract to the lender of record, before they will proceed.
The second thing is to work with a realtor who has short sale experience, understands the paperwork and protects your interest throughout the process. For more information contact Ticia Kervel at 813-760-1514 or email at Ticia@homewardre.com
My goal is your successful purchase and closing

Now is the time to Buy!
May 21st, 2008 categories: Downtown Tampa, Preforeclosure, Short Sales Tampa, South Tampa
While there is a lot of discussion on whether now is a good time to sell your house. most experts agree that now can be a great time to buy. Many sellers have reduced their homes to way below market value. If you are a first time home buyer or wish to buy a house to rent, there are some great bargains out there in pre-foreclosure homes and short sales. I have a listing that is being offered at almost 65% of the price that the owner paid. When you can buy a 3 bedroom home in Tampa, close to downtown for under $100,000 – that’s a deal to big to pass up. Don’t wait until the prices start going up again. For more information email me at jeannie@homewardre.com or call Jeannie at 813–441–0400 ext 210. I will be glad to send you pictures of the interior of the house and information on this home and other drastically reduced homes.

Short Sale and Pre foreclosure in Tampa Bay - The hardship letter
January 29th, 2008 categories: Home Buyer Information, Home Seller Information, Short Sales Tampa, South Tampa, Tampa Condos, Tampa Real Estate
I am writing this letter to explain my unfortunate set of circumstances that have caused us to become delinquent on our mortgage. We have done everything in our power to make ends meet but unfortunately we have fallen short. The main reason that caused us to be late is (insert reason here and don’t be too lengthy and long winded) Soon after being late and our income not being nearly enough, we had fallen further and further behind. Now, it’s to the point where we cannot afford to pay what is owed to (lender). At this time we have exhausted all of our income and resources so we are turning to you for help.
We see no other solution than a short sale and because we have no means of repaying, we additionally ask that, in your acceptance of an offer, you accept it as payment in full and not file a deficiency judgment.
Sincerely and Respectfully,
Mr. & Mrs. ___________________

Fed Cuts Interest Rate By 3/4 of a Point, Today Tuesday January 22
January 22nd, 2008 categories: Home Buyer Information, Home Seller Information, Short Sales Tampa, Tampa Condos, Tampa Real Estate
The federal reserve slashed a key interest rate by three-quarters of a percentage point on Tuesday and
indicated further rate cuts were likely. In addition to cutting the funds rate, the Fed said it was reducing its discount rate, the interest it charges to make direct loans to banks, by a similar three-quarters of a percentage point, pushing this rate down to 4 percent.
Analysts said the Fed will likely delay cutting rates further at its Jan. 29-30 meeting but will probably keep moving rates down aggressively if the economy continues to weaken.
Commercial banks responded he Fed’s action on the funds rate by announcing similar cuts of three-quarter of a percent on its prime lending rate, the benchmark for millions of business and consumer loans. The action will mean the prime lending rate will drop from 7.25 percent down to 6.50 percent.
The question that begs to be asked is why didn’t the fed do this 6 months ago and is this effort to little to late? This may spur a new wave of refinancing and will actually help many homeowners facing higher interest rates if they can qualify for refinancing.
