“Why do you have to make this so hard?”

Short Sales are NOT easy.

As a San Jose Real Estate Agent – I do not make the rules for engaging with lenders to approve San Jose Short Sales.

My job as a San Jose Real Estate agent working with San Jose Short Sales includes, but most certainly not limited to, the following:

1.      To know what the lenders want/need in order to process a short sale file.

2.      To understand the process and ensure that I follow it.

3.      To educate and inform homeowners/borrowers of the process and ensure their commitment to cooperate with the San Jose Short Sales process.

4.      We know upfront what all lenders want/require. Some lenders may ask for additional documents.

5.      We collect “seller financial documents” (two years tax returns with W-2’s; bank statements, pay stubs, etc.) upfront so that when we have an offer we are ready to submit the short sale package.  Time is of the essence.

6.      Depending on how much time passed between when the seller financial documents were collected, placing the property on the MLS, and ultimately accepting an offer, we may need to update some of the financial documents.  Typically they are bank statements, pay stubs, mortgage statement(s).  As we approach the 2010 tax return deadline, it may also mean 2010 1040 tax returns with schedules and W-2’s.

7.      We continue to collect update financial documents on a monthly basis during the short sale process. Why? So that when the negotiator asks us for them, we have them ready to go and we do not waste days collecting them from the seller(s). The quicker we respond to a negotiators request for updated financial documents (or any other requests), the more likely we are to get to an approval – quicker.

San Jose Short Sales are NOT easy.  Lenders are not rubber stamping short sale approvals like they were caught doing with foreclosures.

Lenders are not issuing “save home from foreclosure” made easy cards.

The truth about San Jose Short Sales is that the process is long; extremely time consuming; and they require a lot of work for the agent/short sale negotiator.  Short sales require patience on behalf of all parties (Buyers/Sellers/Agents).

Sellers have work to do as well. Short Sales are not easy.

Please understand that I do not make the process hard. My goal is to make the San Jose Short Sales process as easy as possible for the seller.  We must submit a complete short sale package to the lender in order to get the long short sale process started.

Why do you have to make this so hard?  San Jose Short Sales – Easy? – by Kathleen Daniels, San Jose Short Sales agent

A well-known landmark in the bay area, Mount Umunhum shows evidence of the recent storm.

Residents of Almaden, Cambrian, Blossom Valley, Campbell and surrounding Silicon Valley communities may only appreciate the beautiful view of Mount Umunhum from the valley floor. The space is not open to the public due to environmental hazards such as asbestos and lead-based paint.  It is estimated that it will cost $11 million US dollars to clean up the base and make it available for public use.

At one time, Mount Umunhum was the site of the Almaden Air Force Station which at its peak was home to approximately 120 residents.  The MROSD (Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District) acquired the base in 1986 – now part of the Sierra Azul Open Space Preserve.?

Helping homeowners avoid foreclosure with San Jose Short Sales

My job and duty as a San Jose listing agent is to list and sell the property. If all I do is list the property and pray for someone to fax me an offer … then I have failed miserably at my job and my duty to the San Jose home sellers.

I will do whatever it takes to help a buyers’ agent get their clients’ offer to me so that I can present the offer to my client, the sellers. If a buyers’ agent wants to present an offer to me in person, I failed at my job representing the sellers if I tell the buyers’ agent to fax the offer, or email the offer because I am just too busy. I frequently hear this from listing agents.

If your listing agent is just too busy to spend 15 minutes to allow the buyers agent to present their buyers’ offer in person then you undoubtedly hired the wrong agent to list your San Jose home.

It would be arrogant, presumptuous and just plain lazy of me to assume anything about why the agent wants to present in person. Frankly, it does not matter. It’s an offer … and it is my job to do whatever it takes to receive all offers.

Is Your Listing Agent too busy?

If your listing agent is just too busy to meet with a buyers’ agent in person to present their clients’ offer then you may quite possibly be missing the best offer ever!

San Jose Home Sellers: Can you afford to hire an agent who limits how they receive offers on your behalf?  Of course not!

It was no surprise to read that California ranked fourth among the nation’s highest foreclosure rates. Nevada ranked first, Arizona second and Florida ranked third.

The RealtyTrac report shows that 1,654,634 U.S. properties received a foreclosure filing during the first half of this year. This equates to one in every 78 homes receiving a foreclosure filing between June 30, 2010 and the beginning of the year.

“The midyear numbers put us on pace to exceed 3 million properties with foreclosure filings by the end of the year, and more than 1 million bank repossessions,” said James J. Saccacio, CEO of RealtyTrac.

According to Saccacio, “The pace of properties entering foreclosure slowed as lenders preempted or delayed foreclosure proceedings on delinquent properties with more aggressive short sale and loan modification initiatives.”

Visit RealtyTrac to read the full report.
