3 things you need to know about The Towers of Channelside Condos
August 19th, 2008 categories: Bayshore, Bellamy, Channelside, Downtown Tampa, Element, Featured Listings, Grand Central on Kennedy, Parkside at One Bayshore, South Tampa, Tampa Condos, Tampa Real Estate, The Place, The Plaza, Towers of Channelside, Ventana, Victory Lofts, Westshore Yacht Club
Lots of misinformation regarding the Towers of Channelside and Downtown Condos has condo buyers confused.
TOWERS OF CHANNELSIDE CURRENT MLS LISTINGS
As the on-site Broker we answer a lot of questions from people, including Realtors and prospective buyers with all sorts of misinformation about Downtown Tampa condos, Harbour island condos and Channelside condos. I would like to clear up a least a few of the ones we hear most about The Towers of Channelside.
1. The Banks, including Wachovia, do not own or run The Towers of Channelside.
On February 1, 2008 the Developer, Towers of Channelside LLC, Filed Chapter 11. This came in response to the banks withholding a draw due to the developer to be used for everything from marketing to paying the HOA fee for unsold units. As a result the lenders on the project released the funds and all parties are working toward an agreement or “plan” which will keep the Towers of Channelside solvent and able to pay their portion of HOA fees for at least the next 5 years.
2. The Towers of Channelside has hosted 4 parties for groups outside of residents of The Towers.
Two of these parties were fundraisers for local charities and were very good events. The Ryan Nece Foundation spent a lot of money to decorate and transform the 35000 sq ft pool deck into an event many of the guests including Tampa Bay Buccaneer players, dignitaries and local news reporters will remember for a long time to come. The second, Havana nights was held to raise money for the intellectually challenged through a foundation called Business Buddies. The other 2 events were Pool parties. The first was not very well planned, the second a birthday party for Buccaneer player Alex Smith. Both parties drew over 300 people. The Homeowners association has agreed not to host such parties, in the future.
3. The pool is not drained, green or leaking water. The lights are all on in the building. People are living in both towers.
These might be my favorites of all the ones we here. There also the easiest to overcome. The sales office is open 7 days a week and we encourage Realtors and potential buyers to come and view the property all the time, anytime. All work is complete and and the property is being well maintained. Residents and friends use the pool and clubhouse daily.

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.
