How Long Should a Seller Wait for Offer Acceptance?
2012-01-23 06:00:00 You can't put off offer acceptance or rejection. I realize that sellers would prefer to have the luxury of a little bit of time to think about an offer and ponder its significance. The amount of money a seller nets can make a huge difference and has a bearing on future plans. It's a big deal to sell a house. Sellers might need to discuss the ramifications of an offer with other family members. But it's also a big deal to the buyer. Buyers don't want to wait very long to get an answer. The longer a buyer waits, the more anxious a buyer becomes. Plus, if a seller drags her feet, a buyer might think the seller is playing games, maybe waiting for a better offer, and that can infuriate a buyer like there is no tomorrow.

Pricing Your Seller Financed Property
2011-12-01 15:31:00 I am often asked about pricing a property for resale if the seller is willing to offer financing terms. The capitalist answer is: Sell for any price that is agreed upon between the buyer and seller. While that sounds quite cut and dry, in this current economic climate, it is inaccurate. This brings us to ...This Article is Copyright © 2004-2011 BiggerPockets, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Pricing Your Seller Financed Property
The Keep Your Home California Program Pays $5,000 to Some Short Sale Seller
2011-11-18 06:00:00 I'm wondering if Keep Your Home California is either not finding very many people who want to keep their homes in California or else who qualify for the program. Because Keep Your Home California is now accepting applications from investors as well as borrowers who have completed cash-out refinances. Previously, those two groups of borrowers were excluded from the financial solutions offered through the program. Even if you don't want to keep your home, the Keep Your Home California Program has a component that will pay you up to $5,000 to do a short sale, providing your lender participates and you qualify.

What Quality Should a Good Seller Have?
2011-10-31 09:17:00 Dear friends, let's discuss this question and hope to share good experience with each other.
Q & A With Vince Molito: Short Sales- A Seller's Perspective
2010-10-22 18:00:00 Today marks the first of our 6 part series on Short Sales. We sat down with Vince Milito, a Short Sale Specialist with Jameson Real Estate, and the President of MRG Negotiators, Inc. He has been selling residential real estate since 1996 and has specialized in short sales since 2008. Q: Do you need to default on a payment before doing a short sale? A: Most clients I meet with have already fallen behind in their payments but you are not required to default on a payment prior to doing a short sale. However, I've been told by some clients that banks have been very slow to work with performing notes. I would never advise someone to stop paying if they can afford to do so. You should carefully weigh your options and also discuss with an attorney. Q: How long do sellers have after defaulting to do a short sale? A: You can submit a short sale up until the foreclosure sale date. At that point it would no longer qualify for a short sale. But you should pursue a short sale well in advan...

Are Buyer & Seller Perceptions in Sync?
2009-12-09 18:35:00 Plano TX 75093 - Real Estate Market Perceptions You ask "How's the Market?" and the answer is "Where's the Market?" The chart above Median For Sale vs Median Sold Price shows the median price of properties listed For Sale (what a seller expects) compared with the median price of properties that have successfully Sold (what a buyer is buying) for each month during the last year. The difference between the two show different perceptions of the actual market. Properties in Plano generally sell for 5% to 6% off the last sale price, accounting for price reductions. When the price difference is this substantial - meaning more than 10%, buyers and sellers perceptions are not balanced. What this shows is the lower end market and first time home buyers are where the activity is. It doesn't mean that higher end homes aren't selling, it's just slower. And that has a lot to do with the tightening of credit and scarcity of jumbo loans. Although we're seeing lenders st...

Not Every Short Sale Seller Pays Taxes on Canceled Debt
2009-08-31 07:00:00 An average short sale seller may not really understand the tax consequences that may occur over the issue of canceled debt in a short sale. All sellers who are contemplating a short sale should get legal advice, but equally as important is to receive tax advice from a qualified and competent tax adviser. It's possible that certain types of canceled debt may trigger tax liabilities on a short sale. The law is complex. In particular, the possible ramifications of hard-money loans such as equity loans or cash-out refis should be discussed beforehand with a tax accountant. If the seller did not use that money to improve the home, it's possible that the seller may owe taxes when all is said and done . . . read more about canceled debt.

Passive Seller vs. Motivated Seller
2008-06-04 03:12:00 We receive calls from homeowners who are considering an auction as a method of selling their home. These potential auction sellers will basically fall into two categories: a passive seller or a motivated seller. The passive seller has a predetermined dollar figure in mind they want from the sale of their home. In a lot of cases, it is very unrealistic. They are very demanding of the auctioneer. They do not want to spend a lot of money in marketing the property for an auction, but they want a lot of people to show up at the auction. They have been told by friends, neighbors, or realtors, not to take less than such and such for the home. This kind of seller does not fit the auction criteria. The motivated is very realistic and understands the current market. While not wanting to give away there home at auction, they understand the market value is determined by a group of potential buyers and the hidden costs of holding onto the property for an exten...
A Seller who Remembers Being a Buyer
2008-06-02 21:06:00 What a difference there is between sellers who have recently been buyers and those who bought years and years ago. The sellers who have recently been buyers have a much better appreciation for what attracts buyers in the marketing of their homes. They were in the market recently enough to remember the frustration of no photos, no virtual tours and skimpy descriptions. They remember dealing with sellers who were not savvy about how much the market had changed over the years. Several years ago, a buyer mentioned to me that she just figured that a listing with no photo meant it was too ugly for a photo, when the reality is that the agent often hasn't gotten around to it. By the time the photo gets attached, the property is old news. What has really surprised me is how wide-spread this notion is -- that a photo-less property is somehow less of a property. Sellers (and their agents) who don't realize what buyers want to see when they're shopping...
A Truly Prepared Seller
2008-05-31 18:18:00 I have a new listing that came on the market yesterday in Largo/Upper Marlboro. What strikes me about this property is that the seller had a plan that didn't start yesterday -- she started 2 years ago. She's owned the property for a while and has been smart about using some of the equity that she's built up -- she has used it to upgrade and maintain the property. The house was built in 1985, so one of the first things she did was put on a new roof and add gutter guards to the gutters. She did the bigger things first and the more cosmetic things as she got closer to being ready to sell. Did a little maintenance on the sump pump, replaced the kitchen floor, updated the bathrooms and so forth early on. Just before going on the market, she put in new carpeting and painted. Outside, she had the yard cleaned up long enough ago so that it doesn't look scalped now. Minor pruning and edging just makes it look better, not de-nuded. Sometimes yo...

An Ice-cream seller
2008-05-19 18:01:00 The photograph on the left shows an ice-cream seller and though most people may not find any thing special in the photo, for some of us it is indeed unique.That's 'Zam Zam ice-cream' and the photograph is taken in Bundelkhand region of Central India, not in Lucknow or Hyderabad.The name is written in Urdu script, which is striking.
