Clearwater Beach FL – Thought I’d share a few tricks of the trade for a successful home sale when you have kids and planning to sell your Clearwater Beach home.

In our experience, when it comes to your home sale on Clearwater Beach, adults automatically appreciate the importance of presenting a pristine property to potential buyers. Kids, on the other hand, would like a glass of apple juice, please.

Parents are forever juggling their other adult responsibilities with the needs of the children, so when you add showings of your Clearwater Beach home to the list, it might seem to make for a stressful situation.

But selling your home does not need to be disruptive — after all, it’s just one more ball in the air!

Clearwater Beach Home Sale Success in Kid-Infested Digs

A few tried-and-true tactics make the process easier:

• If you’re blessed with grandparents who live close to Clearwater Beach, this is the time to enlist their help. Real Estate Showings are simply well disguised opportunities for extra quality time with Gram and Gramps. No family in the area? See which play date parents will step up and volunteer for an occasional last minute get-together.
• Avalanches of toys — especially when they stray far from the kids’ room –don’t do much to advance the home sale you’re trying to accomplish. Make a game out of organizing toys into attractive storage boxes, complete with a ceremony for the moment when yesterday’s are put away and today’s opened up. If your kids are old enough to roll their eyes at this idea, I bet they’re old enough to help you with emergency cleanups. That will be easy (and maybe even fun) when you sit down together to create a written Emergency Home Sale Drill, complete with who’s responsible for doing what, and in what order. And don’t forget: successful drills merit special rewards!
• If some very young ones are in the mix, sleep-deprived adult noses can sometimes become desensitized to the simple truth that dirty diapers put off even the keenest of prospects. In addition to your regular diaper disposal regimen, don’t spare good quality air fresheners. The ones that emit seasonal scents periodically are best.
• Finally, we find it will help to give at least 30 minutes warning for any home showing (we strive to make it 24 hours whenever possible).

Our teamwork will result in a serene setting for all our showings when selling your Clearwater Beach home.

Should I Short Sale My Clearwater Beach Condo or Home Now?

Clearwater Beach FL – There’s a lot to consider before you decide to do a Clearwater Beach short sale. In my last post, Is 2012 the year to sell my beach home or condo?, I said you should call us to receive our free Clearwater Beach Real Estate Market Analysis Report before you decide to sell your property, so you will have an idea of what your property is worth, and you will know if the real estate market is going up or down in the near future, which effects your marketing strategy. I also said that our Clearwater Beach Real Estate Market Analysis Report takes into consideration the: Clearwater Beach Real Estate Market Values, Clearwater Beach Real Estate Prices, Clearwater Beach Residential Real Estate Market, and Clearwater Beach Real Estate Market Forecast.

Today, I will answer the question you are probably asking yourself right now if you owe more on your Clearwater Beach condo or home than it is worth:

Should I ‘Short Sale’ My Clearwater Beach Property?

In 2011, more banks signaled a willingness to allow property owners to work with Realtors to ‘Short Sale’ their properties, as Clearwater Beach Realtors we are seeing that as well.  Now that those banks like Chase, Wells Fargo, Citibank and more have recognized this process as a better alternative than the traditional home foreclosure process.

Type Of  Property Sale % of Value

• Non-Distressed 100%
• Short Sale 79%
• Foreclosure 71%

—RealtyTrac 02/2012

Why the big difference in selling Clearwater Beach short sales or foreclosures? This comes about in part because the banks are realizing that it makes more sense to sell the Clearwater Beach property at a higher price than they could receive from the foreclosure and subsequent bank owned, REO sale. In addition, the banks are recognizing that the foreclosure process has a tendency to blight entire real estate areas contributing to the lowering of everyone’s Clerawater Beach condo and home property values for several years. Which in turn lowers their return when they foreclose on these and sell even more properties – just a bad cycle.

“We continued to see a shift toward pre-foreclosure sales, or short sales….That trend will likely show up in more local markets in 2012 as lenders recognize short sales as a better option for many of their non-performing loans.” —RealtyTrac 02/2012

If you think your Clearwater Beach condo or home’s current market value (what you could sell it for today)  is less than the amount you owe on your property, then call me to discuss your situation. I will create a Market Analysis report for your Clearwater Beach property and answer your questions about the Florida short sale and the foreclosure processes.

For today, I will leave you with some things to think about as you consider

• The choice between going through a foreclosure or calling me to do a Clearwater beach short sale:
• What is the difference between a Clearwater beach foreclosure and a short sale on your home or condo?

There are many points to consider, but I will focus on one key element in my answer today; your credit rating.

With a Short Sale: There is a negotiated settlement with your bank(s). Your credit will be bruised, but it will not be ruined, you will have no foreclosure attorney fees, you will have the peace of mind knowing that you can turn this problem over to our team to handle, and know that you can probably buy another home in about two-years.

With a Foreclosure: There is a court hearing, and a court settlement. Your credit is damaged for the long-term, there are usually attorney fees, and you may be able to buy another home in about ten-years.

Can You Help Me With a Clearwater Beach Short Sale?

We can help you. We are Clearwater Beach Realtors who know how to assist you in selling your home and getting out-from-under this difficult situation. Just know that we are here to help you.

What Can I expect If I Work With You To Do a Short Sale?

Our experienced team will take over once you make the decision to do a  Clearwater Beach short sale. You will have the peace of mind knowing we handle all of the details and work with your bank(s) to negotiate a short sale, so you can move on with your life.
