Navigating the Waters of South Florida Short Sale Negotiation

Once a property owner is dealing with foreclosure, she or he must always remain positive but always rational. There is always the chance that whatever solution provided, whether it be from their own personal skills or with the support of others, my not be successful. With this in mind the owner must always have a back up plan if things don't go well the way they expected.
I mention this because when Short Sales are being executed, especially in the North Miami, Florida area, there is a fifty per cent chance that they will be unsuccessful. In order to increase your success, I have provided several recommendations that hopefully you'll find helpful when navigating the slippery waters of Short Sales and Loss Mitigation Negotiation.

First off, you should never attempt this by yourself. When you're flying from your hometown to another destination, do you ever pilot the airplane? Didn't think so. How about when you're at a restaurant waiting for your meal? Do you actually prepare the five-star food that's been approved by judges from around the world? Absolutely not. Therefore how is this any different? You should always seek the help of a Real property professional, someone who has either helped list and sell short sales such as a Realty agent who actually has a track record or a Real Estate investor who has already purchased properties via Short Sale previously.

You'll wish to look for verifiable proof that these professionals have completed at the minimum two or three transactions in the past several years.

Once you've got your connection, your helmsman under your belt, don't just let them fly the airplane on his or her own. Stay connected with the process. Follow up and ensure that the expert that you've chosen is doing their job correctly and accurately. This is where things can get a little difficult. When you're taking a trip on a plane or dining at a five-star restaurant, you don't necessarily need to constantly follow-up with the Pilot and the Chef, but we're referring to your home and your economic future here. There is much more at stake or steak depending where your mind is.

In addition to following up with your chosen expert, always bear in mind that the person who ultimately gains from this transaction is you. The entity that ultimately holds the decision to allow you off the hook is not your chosen professional, but the bank that holds your mortgage. Make sure that you keep in contact with your mortgage servicers to make sure that everything is on the right track.

Hopefully this article has helped you a little further when looking to solve your Property problems.

North Miami Short Sales Professional

Short sales are still in an abundance here in North Miami. I have been doing short sales for about the past decade and I know every single detail about them I know that most banks don't have an interest in helping the home owner or anyone involved in the process. I have also seen that Short Sales negotiated with banks such as Bank of America, Chase and Wells Fargo are among the toughest to complete. These larger bank are getting greedier by the day. The short sale payoff letters come in at or above market value of you don't know what you're doing.

Having an experienced Short Sale professional on your side is the difference between night and day! Not only will a short sale be negotiated on your behalf but there will be legal defenses taking place against the bank's lis pendis law suite. The battle will be fought on two fronts. We don't want to beg the big banks for a short sale discount without having a gun in hand!

I've been able to get foreclosures in North Miami dismissed while working on short sale files. How do I do this you ask? With years and years of experience thats how! I have a team that knows the ins and outs of the real estate legal system and can pretty much get the judge to do anything.

When the banks such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase and Suntrust see that they won't be able to take the property back from a poor defenseless homeowner seeking relief, then they're willing to negotiate and compromise. It is only at the point when your enemy sees that he or she will loose the battle when they are willing to help. Otherwise, asking for help with a whimper will only ruin your credit and leave you in an unfortunate situation.

When you're looking to avoid foreclosure you must always keep in mind ways in which you can get the system to work for you in a smart and professional manner. Don't try to cheat the system of Short Sales, just work with it so that it can work in your favor. If for any reason you're not sure how the system works, please consult a professional like me.

I've been purchasing homes, helping homeowners avoid foreclosure, dealing with banks and even training others on how to get into the real estate business for years. My speciality is creative Real Estate solutions for you and your family.

CLIENT CASE - VANESSA

My first deal was a Short Sale back in 2007. This was actually given to me as a referral from one of my apprentices. Yes, at the time I was engaged in teaching others how to start and run a successful Real Estate business. Yes, I'm still doing that and if you'd like more information on how you can get involved feel free to contact me about it.

Anyway, Vanessa was a victim of loan fraud which was running rampant at the time. She purchased a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom condo for $425,000 in Normandy Isle, Miami Beach. This was considered a norm at the time but today that same unit is worth about $45,000. Who knew how far prices would have dropped in only 7 years.

When I approached her she had no idea how she was going to handle her new debt of half a million dollars. During this time the markets was already beginning to collapse. I was able to negotiate the loan down to $126,000.00 and purchase the property myself. 

After the ordeal was over Vanessa was able to get her financial life back in order and start fresh with a clear mind WITHOUT a foreclosure mark on her credit. This deal produced several more referrals in the same apartment complex hence I was able to help several more property owners in the same way I was able to help Vanessa. 

Eventually a developer purchased the entire building, demolished it and started a new project around the middle of 2013. By that time everyone had already been short sold or foreclosed on (if they hadn't called me.)

The experience is one that I'll never forget as this has allowed me to break through to the pre-foreclosure and short sale markets of South Florida. Since 2007 I've helped a countless amounts of property and home owners out of bad situations. The convenience of being able to work with a competent buyer who is able to purchase a property in cash within a very short time is priceless. The ability to avoid the lengthy process of listing a property with a Realtor and waiting for it to sell should be avoided like the plague especially if you know that you've got to receive cash quickly or move into a new location within a short time frame. 

It does not matter what your situation is, I can always find a way to help. Even if you're not interested in selling and want to STAY in your home and STOP or prolong the foreclosure as long as possible - I can still help you. All you have to do is pick up the phone and make a short, simple and sweet call to (786) 231 9362.

What I do, I do for you.
