‘ve been trying to work with my mortgage company for months now while getting no where, it’s always “call back in two weeks”, etc. I had hoped the new March 4th programs would help but I have been calling weekly and my bank still says they haven’t received the info yet with all the details on the program so call back in two weeks.

In the meantime I did list my house for sale just in case I need to do a quick short sale to avoid foreclosure. From everything I heard you don’t want to foreclose, short sale is a little bit better. However I haven’t gotten any offers and have been hesitant to drop the price too low and sell before I found out if any of these new government programs would work to keep me in the house (yes, I still have that pesky whole emotional attachment stuff)…

So this morning I have been thinking maybe enough is enough, let’s get this over with. I love my house but am getting really tired of waiting to see whats going on, should I drop the price to where I think it would sell or do I sit it out and ride the foreclosure process wave as long as I can? Then about an hour ago I find out the builder in my neighborhood has just reduced new construction pricing down into the $160’s, I cringe to think about what I paid 2 years ago ($245K), not that I am concerned about value, I’m happy with the house and it totally serves my need.

So…Should I ride the foreclosure wave as long as possible? Or try to sell this baby as fast as possible as a short sale? Thanks

Ok I need to move because I’m getting behind on my payments. I need to move somewhat fast but I have never moved before so I don’t really know where to begin. I don’t know what to do about the whole process. I need to find a realator with good rates who doesn’t take TOO much and I need to know what all i need to do? Do i just call a realator and have them put it up for sale? I just need it done fast..what do i do? I’m falling behind on my payments. I have not paid February’s or March’s yet :/
I live in Central Florida F.Y.I

Repossession

Private property sales need to be exposed so that there would be prospective buyers. Otherwise, there would be the difficulty of disposing the property. To make sales possible, there must be people involved in the transaction. It does not only concern the property itself. It also concerns other players of the transaction.

 

When you decide for private property sales, there could be three important players who will be involved. They are the owner, the sales agent, and the solicitor. These three players will be busy in dealing with the sale. However, each one has their own role to take.

 



As the owner, you are tasked to dispose the property. You will determine the market value of the property as well as the selling price. You need to consider the purchase price of the property, the marketing costs, and other costs incorporated in the sale. Then it is your responsibility to ensure that the property is saleable and legally available. Generally, the owner can sell house privately. He can sell it by advertisement or word of mouth. It is actually his discretion on how he can sell it.

The sales agent is normally the middleman of the sale. They are tasked to sell the property. When an owner has dealt with a sales agent, the owner is giving the sales agent full rights to the private property sales. However, it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the agent will get the commission due him.

The third player is the solicitor. Contrary to most beliefs, it is not the role of the sales agent to undergo conveyance, legalizing the transaction, and dealing with the buyer’s solicitor. It is the sole task of the solicitor as the solicitor has the expertise in property documentations, legalization, and conveyance.



 

With these players, there is the tendency that the cost of the house will increase more than just the market value. The cost for solicitor and the sales agent as well as the markup for the owner will be incorporated in the purchase price of the private property sales.

 

To be able to lower the selling price of the property or for the owner to have considerable markup for the private property sales, one must slash down the cost for the players. Definitely, one cannot do away with the role of the owner, as this is the reason why the property is for sale in the first place. Solicitors cannot also be disregarded because property documentation has to be done by qualified solicitor. This leaves a question if sales agents are necessary. Actually, if the owner cannot sell house privately due to limited time, effort, and resources, then the sales agent will prove to be necessary.  However, if there could be ways to improve exposure of the private property sales, then by all means, it would be more practical to sell house privately. You just need to advertise the sales for enough exposure.

 

One way to sell house privately for enough exposure is through advertisement online. The Big Move Online is one site that offers private property sales. The owner will have complete control on how to go about the advertisement of the property because it can be done once an account is made on the site. With Big Move Online, to sell house privately is made easy because of exposure. This way, the owner will save on the commission of sales agents.

I know that garage sale is the obvious answer, but I live kinda off the beaten track and don’t get alot of people. And furniture you get nothing for. Anybody try consignment? I have alot of furniture. Quality stuff. What about an auction? Or putting it in the paper? There is just so much to do. I also have stock left from a gift store and I have no idea what to do with all this miscellaneous stuff. Help! Which way is best?

A host of circumstances can land you in a financially crunch situation. You need cash for every need. Shortage of cash can thus be a bane of modern day world where you need cash for all your expenditure from paying your medical electricity bills to your insurance premiums to covering your shopping expenses, or loan repayments and mortgage. It is true that it is not always possible to cover all your expenses in the limited income one has. In fact, situations can be so precarious or urgent that you may have to sell house fast to come out of your ordeal as soon as it be possible.

There are other reasons too. You may be facing unfortunate times in personal life. Divorce proceedings are not only taxing upon your emotional health but upon your finances also. You can sell house fast in such circumstances which at least, gives you the financial support to get through the proceedings and the same time, quick house sale is a judicious and perhaps even an obvious means to part ways.

To sell your house fast, however, is not easy. You have to keep a lookout for potential buyers. Even if you hire a real estate agent, this can take time, coupled with the hassles of having people coming to see your house and somehow or the other, intruding into your privacy. A real estate agent may let you down as there are a chain of people involved in the buying process and then there are negotiations which may not always come through; there can be a chain collapse anywhere on the way if there is a disagreement over the property prices, etc.

With special agencies devoted to the cause of quick sale, you need not worry, if you need to sell house fast. These agencies do not have third parties involved and they deal with you directly, saving you much precious time and hassles in the process.



Passive Income

Our house has been in foreclosure for months and there has been nothing we’ve been able to do to stop it. We’ve called the mortgage company time and time again trying our best to work anything out, and all they have told us is that we need to come up with over $15,000 by May 22nd (which is in about a week) to give them in one lump sum. That’s impossible. So when they told us this (about a month ago) we decided to look into selling the house to one of our friends before the sheriff’s sale date, which is June 7th. Is this possible? He’s more than willing to buy our house for it’s complete estimated value and wants to make an offer. If he puts in an offer before June 7th will the house be out of our hands before then and sold to him? We just really need it to be sold before sheriff’s sale. Will this work?

Whenever a relationship breaks down it is a shock, even when you have known for a while that its just not working out and the final decision to part is likely to stay with you for a long period of time. It can take months for it to really sink in and throughout this time it is common to fantasize about reconciliation, reunion and recriminations.

Understanding what went wrong is often the first step on the way to recovery and it’s easy to get stuck in questioning, how could they do that to me? What did I do wrong? Whose fault it is?  This is only natural.

However a more positive approach is to center on the relationship, as opposed to individual responsibility and I found the following questions beneficial: -

What were things like when we first met?

What was good about our relationship?

In what way have we changed?

Why were we attracted to each other?

Have any external factors influenced our relationships?

Just what is it that has prevented us from rising above our differences?

The answers to these questions may be upsetting but the more we understand, the easier it is to let go and then move on. This was a time that I felt many emotions, including sadness, anger, despair and confusion.  Additionally, there is a multitude of practical issues to take care of, such as, supporting your children, birthdays, childcare, informing the school, access arrangements and seeing the in-laws.

It is common after a relationship breakdown to find that you are having a battle with feelings of low self-confidence and self-esteem.  There are so many things to arrange it can be easy to neglect your own feelings. Don’t be too hard on yourself and accept and be thankful for any support your friends and family provide.

This is a tough time to be a parent but the children must know what is happening. Hiding the truth from them is not protecting them and may leave them confused and wondering whether they can trust you. Obviously how much you tell them will depend on how old they are.  Sharing your feeling will help them make sense of how they feel and allow your children to show their feelings as well.

My biggest worry was my concerns over money and property.  You know, managing the finances when you have to survive on a lower income and who gets what in your family home, the pet.  Will I have to sell? Where will we live?  This can really drag you down.  Luckily I found a solution to my problem, which saved me from any despair.

There are many house sale specialists who offer an alternative to that of an estate agent, so I decided to investigate this option. I found a website headlining “ Sell your home in as little as seven days” This I considered would go along way to solving a great number of my problems. I contacted An Instant Sale in Leicester on their free phone number and although I live nearly three hundred miles from their main office, a local representative visited me the very next day.

We agreed on a price and a date, and the cash from the equity in my property was transferred to my account, I was able to make the settlement with my partner and had some spare money to carry me through and I am not homeless.  Not only did they buy my home but they also arranged for me to rent back at the normal rent for our area.  If my circumstances improve, I have a pre-agreed price, to re purchase my home in the future.



Repossession

I sold my house by means of a short sale in nov. of 2008.the bank,td banknorth told me the remainder,90K,was to go to charge off by me not paying it. I have the collections dept. calling me asking for money.I told them I couldn`t pay 90K back and had no intentions of it.As I was advised by the rep. at the bank who handled the short sale.
the collection dept. is telling me I have to pay it or they suggested I file bankruptcy.
we are currently renting but would like to buy the home we rent,I do need a cosigner now because of the damage the short sale did to my credit.
does anyone know anything about what steps I should take and if I should file for bankruptcy? I know once I do I won`t be able to buy anything for years to come-so should I try to get another mortgage before file for bankruptcy? or not even bother because the bank will come after me more because I just bought another home.
I`m not trying to pull a fast one here,just looking out for my family,I have 3 young children and needed to get out of the area we lived in,that was the reason for the short sale and the mess we are in now.We had our house on the market for over 2 years and just watched the house depreciate in value,not mention no one was moving into our town because of the schools and crime rate,we had to jump at the chance to get out when had our first and only offer. Just wanted to add that before i get bashed.

I put an offer in on a house Monday evening, but i have not heard anything back as of yet. This is my first home purchase and i am really nervous. I hate to keep on calling my realtor, he doesn’t seem to care though, but i know if i were him i would turn my phone off.

How long does it usually take to hear a yes or no? The home is in pre-forclosure and in fast sale.

Thanks for answers in advance.

Quick House Sale

We’re buying a house- and I’m VA qualified, with a mortgage ready to go. The seller’s bank is deciding on the outcome of the “short sale”. The VA is pressuring us to find another house as a “back up” but I worry that we’re going to lose the house we really want because of the delay in this short sale. What can we do to help it go faster? We’ve signed everything.
