Buyer buys at open home

Ted Guarnero, Jupiter Florida (Illustrated Properties) — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 08:00:26 -0800

I recently got a referral from a family member, It happens I also knew this person and had met them a few times. Very nice people that needed to find a house soon as their lease was up soon. A cash buyer ( O Boy) So with a list of what was important to them, I start my search finding 15 or so listings in the towns they like. Home after home we search till we both have a good understanding that either are price is too low or what they expect in a home is too much. Now after 3 weeks I have been watching and looking 3 times a day for anything that might work, when I think lets push the area alittle further west. Looking out west, keep in mind we are 15 miles away from where they wanted to live. I decide to show them a home out west in a nice community , they liked it but not enought to purchase. But the good news is they like this area. Bingo I know I can start searching for a new home and I know there are alot of quility homes for them here. Sundays Email from buyer, " just wanted to keep you informed that we drove around and found an open house , The Realtor owned it and needed to sell and took our offer. Thanks you for everything your a gem. Let us know when we can take you to dinner. Note: I spoke that first week about letting everyone know your working with me Im so taken back I have not told them how I feel ....YET

Foreclosures in Jupiter

Ted Guarnero, Jupiter Florida (Illustrated Properties) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 09:35:16 -0800

FORECLOSURES #1 It is well known that foreclosure rates are up around the country. For buyers, this commonly signals a great opportunity to get a really good deal on a property. Sometimes this is the case, but it is important for a buyer to understand exactly what a foreclosure is before braving that market. A foreclosed home (also called an REO, or "real estate owned" property) is one in which the previous owner defaulted on the home loan, and the bank took possession of the property. Since the bank is not in the business of owning real estate, it does not want to hold onto properties it was forced to foreclose on, so now it is in the position of having to sell the property in an attempt to recover as much of the profits it lost on the original loan as possible. It is of utmost importance that you find an experienced real estate professional to represent you if you decide to become active in the foreclosures market. On the upside, foreclosure properties are often priced lower that similar homes in the area. However, the great deal doesn't come without a price! Often, foreclosed homes are in bad repair. They have not been lived in for some time, and so there was no caring owner to keep things in good shape. Still, the properties are usually sold "as-is" and without disclosures, meaning the bank will not fix any damage prior to the sale, nor will they be responsible for any defects not discovered until after the sale. Purchasing a foreclosure can also be frustrating for other reasons. Buyers should be prepared for an exercise in patience since they could be in negotiations for much longer than they would be with a normal sale. They should also be prepared for the banks to expect more out of them than a regular seller would. Banks will often counteroffer with addendums in their favor, and they will almost never pay closing costs. Realtors such as Ted Guarnero are well-prepared to handle foreclosure sales. They are familiar with different forms and contracts that will protect the buyer, and thanks to their experience with such deals, they are able to anticipate bank objections and get you through the process as smoothly as possible.

Short sales in The Palm Beaches

Ted Guarnero, Jupiter Florida (Illustrated Properties) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 09:31:46 -0800

If you have been paying attention to news about the real estate market over the last year or so, you have probably noticed that there is a lot of talk going around about short sales in Florida. However, while most media outlets spend a lot of time reporting on short sales, they generally neglect to explain exactly what that means. A short sale property is one that is still owned by the homeowner, but that homeowner can no longer make their monthly mortgage payments and they owe more on the house than the house is worth. Instead of allowing a foreclosure to occur, the bank holding the mortgage makes a deal allowing the homeowner to sell the home for less than is owed and settle with the bank for that amount. As you may have guessed, purchasing a short sale property can be a great investment since you are getting it at a bargain price. In fact, right here in Palm Beach County, there are many fantastic short sale properties. Nevertheless, buyers must be aware that purchasing a short sale property is not the same as buying a regular home for sale. It is a longer, more intricate process, and the buyer should make absolutely sure they are represented by a Realtor who knows what they are doing. Ted Guarnero's Short Sale Team is experienced in the short sale process, and will be able to help you decide if going after a short sale is the right decision given your unique wants and needs. Buyers interested in these bargain homes should expect a much longer closing process. It is not unusual to wait 4 to 6 months to close on a short sale property. Because there is such a delay in the time it takes to close, buyers also need to know that they are taking a risk in even making an offer at all. In a market where prices are dropping by 1% or 2% every month, a delay in the acceptance of an offer (common for short sales) can mean that once the offer is accepted, the home is no longer worth the offer price. Also, during the period in which the buyer is waiting to hear back from the bank, they are technically under contract and cannot consider any other homes on the market. Banks are most inclined to accept the offers of buyers who allow them to keep things as simple as possible. For example, a buyer offering cash is more desirable than one whose offer is contingent on financing. Buyers who ask for the seller to pay closing costs generally do not have their offers accepted on short sales, and those who expect anything other than an "as-is" contract are usually rejected as well. In the end, short sales can be a great bargain, just be sure to consult a knowledgeable professional, like you will find in The Ted Team, so that you are absolutely sure of what you are getting into. call Ted Guarnero P.A at 561-452-2550, Illustrated Properties
