Orlando Real Estate Voice, Short Sale Expert & Specialist

1. The bank is going to what to see your entire financial picture. This means you will need to provide copy of back taxes, paycheck stubs, bank statements, personal financial statement, etc. They will want to know what all your assets are.
2. The bank may want you to sign a promissory note for the difference, now it will most probably be at a hugely reduced amount and may include monthly payments.
3. When the bank gives the final approval of the short sale, they may request that the escrow close in as little as 30 days, sometimes sooner.
4. As the seller, you can not receive any proceeds from the sale. Period.
5. Your Real Estate agents, and Title company, may have to work for reduced fees.
6. The banks are incredibly overwhelmed with short sales and many times a decision can take upwards of 90 days; however, recently the approval process has been streamlined at many lenders.
7. Your property may be foreclosed on during the short sale process because the bank can not process the short sale in time; however, if you have a strong agent they should be able to get the foreclosure postponed give me a call to help postpone any foreclosure dates.
8. Do not expect to receive any information on a regular basis. There may be weeks that go by with no news from the lender. This is perfectly normal.
9. The bank will want to get a BPO (broker price opinion) and/or an appraisal of your house.
10. Be patient. This is the best policy. Try to avoid being stressed out over something that you can not control. If you have a well trained agent, you are in good hands.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Did you catch the frumpy 47-year old Susan
Boyle on her audition for Britain’s version
of American Idol?

If not, it may be the best seven minutes you’ll
spend this year. Check it out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

She’s middle aged, triple-chinned, eyebrows
that look like dead caterpillars, never been
kissed by a man… everyone just knew this
Gong-Show reject was going to bomb.

I had to give Simon Cowell credit, as he
did his best to keep a straight face. When
he asked about her goal, she said she wanted
to sing like a star.

Simon rolled his eyes at this train wreck. Half
the audience groaned. The other half just sighed,
shaking their heads. Some outright sneered.

But when she started to sing…

…it was like Angels from heaven had came
to earth.

She lit it up. And the crowd went wild!

If you were touched by her performance, you
are not alone. It brings out and OVERCOMES
something in you that you try to hide, yet
it’s buried inside you somewhere.

Any time you’ve faced defeat… been laughed
at and humiliated… had your spirit crushed…
faced rejection… experienced shame… you
strengthened this part of you that identified
with her.

Yet this one person reached inside herself and
overcame all that inner negativity in one fell swoop.

The face you don’t want anyone to see… the one
you hide even from yourself… is the one that she
wears every day. And she turned it into a thing of
beauty.

This is about redemption, baby.

And it’s within your reach, too. If you lack
confidence that you can’t work in this foreclosure
market, that it’s too hard, or you’ll never make
it, that’s that inner voice of failure talking.

But know that you can reach inside and bring
out the best within you and emerge a success.

If Susan Boyle did it, you can too.
