As you will recall in my recent blog, “What is a short sale?”, I explained the basics of short sales. Even though it is popular topic in the news, there is still a lot of mystery and gray area surrounding it. So, it’s easy for misinformation to spread. Today I want to clarify three myths I often hear. Myth #1 In a short sale situation, the bank owns the home. This is incorrect. That is the case with a foreclosure, which is when a lender has repossessed a home from the owner, as a result of continued loan default, and is selling it in order to recover their loss on the loan. A short sale is when a homeowner decides to sell their […]

I can’t tell you how many times I get this question from clients, family, collegues and various others in the course of a week. It is a relatively new concept, only really becoming popular within the last few years, and lately seems to be the situation with a good portion of my listings and those listings that buyers I am working with are interested in buying. A short sale occurs when a seller’s lender agrees to take a payoff for less than balance owed on their loan. Then they either forgive the remaining debt or ask the seller to pay back all or some of the debt, through a promissory note or cash contribution. When a seller chooses to sell […]

There’s something about the Old Spanish homes in Miami that is so unique and special. Maybe it’s because of the history; these homes were built in the 1930s. And the fine attention to detail which truly makes these homes extraordinary. From the moment you step in this home, located at 2013 SW 23 Street in “New” Shenandoah, you are transported back in time to Old Miami. Every entrance has gorgeous wrought iron gates. Once inside you are instantly greeted by high ceilings, beautiful crown molding and a perfect focal point, a white stone fireplace. There is a side entry/vestibule now used as a small library with vintage cuban tile and built in bookshelves. From there you have access to a covered carport, which now has been enclosed […]

With all of the rumors about short sales being a horrible experience I am happy to say my team has closed two short sales in one week, one of which only took three months from start to finish! That’s almost unheard of turnaround time. Most people would like to avoid a short sale if at all possible. I’ve even heard of agents who refuse to show their clients short sale or foreclosure listings because they don’t want to deal with the perceived hassle. But when you have a professional team in place, including experienced realtors and a title company on board from the beginning to facilitate the process, it makes the transaction move much more smoothly. While it’s true that […]
