ACTIVE ADULTS, "THIS IS YOUR TIME TO BUY"

Since I am an active adult myself, I thought you should know also what is available to buy in this market. It is now time for "us" "active adults" sell that big home we have and find something that is now suitable for our life style.

The "Glens At Mountain Brook" is an Active Adult Community with an active association that has events going on all of the time, pool area for the down times and walking trails with great views of surrounding mountains. The association fee's include the maintenance of roof/exterior/yard/garbage.

Now is your time to consider selling your home, take a bit of a loss, but you will make it up when you buy.

I can help with the details of selling and buying.

ADULT COMMUNITY IN WOODSTOCK GEORGIA

OOPS! HERE ARE THOSE WORDS - SHORT SALE - LENDER - HOMEOWNER

We hear the word "Short Sale all of the time. Recently, I have had many inquiries about "What is a Short Sale" and can I be helped.

A Short Sale is a viable alternative to loosing your home to foreclosure. If a homeowner is or will be behind on their mortgage payments now or in the near future due to a loss of a job, medical issues, or anything that will no longer allow the homeowner to make their monthly payment,they may qualify for help from the lender through a "Short Sale". After a review of a homeowners financial position, a lender may allow the home to sell for less than what is owed on the mortgage and take that amount as satisfaction of the mortgage.

Short Sales can be very involved with lots of details and the guidelines from the mortgage companys seem to change frequently. Let me help you through this process.

BANKS START TO EMBRACE SHORT SALES

Even before the government put pressure on them to embrace short sales, more banks were starting to take their lumps, do the short-sale deals and move on.

Three years into the housing meltdown, short sales have tripled to 40,000 in the first six months of 2009, compared to the same time period a year ago, according to data from the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Wells Fargo, Bank of America Corp., and JPMorgan Chase & Co. this year have hired and trained more staff to handle short sales and also developed software for expediting them.

“It’s really finally dawning on banks that they’re better off with a short sale,” said Richard Green, director of the Lusk Center for Real Estate at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. “I think banks were in denial.”
