Treasury Looking To Assist Short Sale Process
By Joanie Miller | February 3, 2010
While we’re not entirely sure if this is true (we’re still researching), some lovely news has popped up on AJCHomeFinder.com that states that the Treasure is trying to assist the short sale process.
We at Miller & Associates Realty know to well how short sales work. You take your buyer to look at a home, they fall in love with it. They make an offer, you wait; wait, and wait some more. Finally it gets approved but the property has now been sitting so long that mold has began to grow inside and prices have fallen since the initial offer that the home now wont appraise. This is exactly the cenario many of our agents have gone through.

Tina Bass Earns NAR Short Sales and Foreclosure Certification
By Troy Steuwer | January 29, 2010
Buyers and Sellers Benefit from REALTOR® Expertise in Distressed Sales
Tina Bass with Miller & Associates Realty LLC, has earned the nationally recognized Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource certification. The National Association of REALTORS® offers the SFR certification to REALTORS® who want to help both buyers and sellers navigate these complicated transactions, as demand for professional expertise with distressed sales grows.
According to a recent NAR survey, nearly one-third of all existing homes sold recently were either short sales or foreclosures. For many real estate professionals, short sales and foreclosures are the new “traditional” transaction. REALTORS® who have earned the SFR certification know how to help sellers maneuver the complexities of short sales as well as help buyers pursue short sale and foreclosure opportunities.
“As leading advocates for homeownership, REALTORS® believe that any family that loses its home to foreclosure is one family too many, but unfortunately, there are situations in which people just cannot afford to keep their homes, and a foreclosure or a short sale results,” said 2009 NAR President Charles McMillan, a broker with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Dallas-Fort Worth. “Foreclosures and short sales can offer opportunities for home buyers and benefit the larger community, as well, but it’s extremely important to have the help of a real estate professional like a REALTOR® who has earned the SFR certification for these kinds of purchases.”

Our team took a class yesterday (thanks SETCO!), letting us know everything about what’s being changed on the HUD-1 Settlement Statement as of January 1st, 2010. The class was given to us by George Brannon Sr, one of the smartest men we know. Anyway, a lot of things have changed on the HUD-1 Settlement Statement and I’m hear to tell you about them.
