I am sad for my client who has fallen victim to a selling agent that is being fed foreclosurers by banks who are failing to notice that in my opinion a huge number are selling to her own clients.

Fort Lauderdale Condos 

My client lives next door to this home, he is renting and wanted to buy the home next door. We attempted over and over again to contact the bank that owned the property. For months we got nowhere.

When the agents sign went up in the window we immediately called. For weeks we were unable to find it in the MLS. We were told that the foreclosure had been pulled back by the bank and they were waiting an update. They took my number, but never called me back.

The property appeared on the MLS. My client and I were there on day one, over three weeks ago and wrote the offer, with an escrow check and a preapproval letter. It was downloaded into her online order system, we received confirmation, and that was the last we heard.

We were told they take no phone calls, we also know from experience they do not answer emails, simply go online and check. Well as of this minute it reads “submitted waiting response”, the same thing it has read for three weeks.

This morning I requested another showing via her online system, it confirmed and gave me the lockbox code. My initial plan of the day was to speak to my client about raising the offer far above asking price. The code to enter the property was wrong. Within an hour my client called that he was sitting in his home watching the home next door be inspected, he had just met the buyer.

The property is still active on our MLS, her website shows 180 active listings even though the MLS shows only 40, our offer is still “submitted waiting responce”.

I am not sad about the deal I have lost, I think my buyer will stick with me. I am sad that some Realtors have lost touch with professionalism so much that they can’t even contact an agent back. If she had a higher offer simply, say so. I am suspect on never receiving the “highest and best” request. Fort Lauderdale Real Estate

At this point I have asked the agent to call me by Monday afternoon, at that point I may approach the board of Realtors, I am finding this entire situation embarrassing for all parties concerned.

Any thoughts. …?

When you are thinking about selling a condominium one of the first things to think about are some of the differences involved in selling a condominium compared to selling a single family home. Many Realtor will tell you “sign calls” are a valuable source of finding buyers for a property. When it comes to most condominiums this valuable source of buyers disappears. So now it becomes even more important to listen to your Realtor marketing plan for your property and especially their plan for attracting buyers.

Fort Lauderdale Real Estate News

When selling a condominium there are two things that are being sold. The buyer must be sold on the building or condominium association as well as the individual condominium. Make sure you and your realtor have all the association facts ready to go.  A buyer who receives quick and accurate answers to all their questions is a buyer who feels secure about making a decision. An original brochure from the community can be very helpful, newsletters, and recent condominium announcements will also help a buyer feel secure.

Condominium association rules and regulations are an important part of the process. Bringing a buyer with pets to a community that has pet restrictions is not in anyone’s best interest. Knowing the rules and regulations and having them available for your Realtor will help your Realtor promote the condominium to buyers who want rules and regulations consistent with the property you are looking to sell. The more information you provide the easier it will be to make sure that the people viewing your home are the ‘ready, willing and able” buyers for your condominium unit.

The U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is helping borrower (s) move from their home with a program called Pre-Foreclosure Sale (PFS Program). This program allows borrowers who have fallen short on their payments and are now in pre-foreclosure sell their homes short of what they owe.

Basically, how the program works is if you meet certain criteria set forth by HUD…HUD will perform a new appraisal of your home and accept roughly 88% of the current homes value satisfying he old mortgage note.

Key Factors are:

• Borrowers/Sellers will receive cash incentive of up to $1,000
• The Mortgagee (your lender) or HUD will not pursue the borrower for a deficiency judgment
• Borrowers/Sellers must professionally & actively market property for up to 3 months which will delay any foreclosure proceedings.
• Must have a marketable title, title search must be performed and all liens should be cleared/discharged prior to closing
• Borrower can be current at time of submission but must be delinquent by at least 30 days prior to the closing
• Property values are determined by an FHA certified appraiser, using a “as-is” Fair Market Value (FMV)
• Mortgagor/Sellers must maintain property in “ready to show” condition
• Mortgagee/ lender must respond within 5 working days from receipt of the executed contract

Eligibility:
• The property must be owner-occupied, no “walk-a ways” or investment properties. Exceptions: when it is verifiable that the need to vacate was related to the cause of default (job loss, transfer, divorce, death), and the subject property was not purchased as rental investment, or used as a rental for more than 18months.

• The Mortgagor must be 31 days or more delinquent at the time of the Pre-foreclosure Sale closing.

• The Mortgagor must provide documentation substantiating a reduction in income or an increase in living expense, and documentation that verifies the Mortgagors need to vacate the property (if applicable).
