It looks like the market is finally showing signs of slowing down. The sky isn’t falling, we’re just going from three consecutive months of 8000+ homes sold to 7040 for the month of August. Based off the numbers, it looks like many of the cash buyers are stepping back either because the bottom of the [...]
Successful Short Sale
August 28, 2009 by Short Sale Specialist · 4 Comments
Yesterday was a good day for my clients. After months of brutal negotiations, we have finally closed the short sale. Naturally, they were very thankful for the completed sale.

Like Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings, I had to stop the bank from foreclosing on my client. It took a lot of work, a lot of pleading, a lot of explaining, and there were tears here and there, but we finally have short sale approval. I would venture to guess that my clients [...]

What would you say if a large organization has just told you, “We want to sell your house. We really do! We just don’t want people to find your house on Google, Yahoo, or any other search engine of choice.” Would that make you happy?
Currently, the Metropolitan Indianapolis Board of Realtors has decided that none [...]
