I was layed off last year and out of work for about 6 months. As a result our house is going to foreclosure in May. I am working again, but we just couldn't get caught up and our mortgage company was no help. We were able to purchase a new home through davis realty since the home owner was willing to finance us. I should be able to fix my credit in the next couple years so we can refinance, but we would have to rent an apartment if this option was not available to us. Thank you Jennifer for being so helpful and helping us get back on our feet. Brad ...read more

We moved to Fort Worth recently with a job transfer. We were finally able to lease out our house in Colorado, but that meant we were not able to get financing to buy a new house. Luckily Davis Realty was able to help us. We found a house on their website we liked, checked it and some others out, and felt the best about working with John at Davis. We were able to close quickly and have moved in and settled. Thank you for helping us buy a house an start our new life in Ft. worth. ...read more

A Short Sale A Unique Selling Proposition for Real Estate AgentsWhile a short sale may be a last resort for many homeowners facing foreclosure, it also represents a great opportunity for potential home buyers and real estate investors. This article is designed to help answer a few basic questions about the substantial risk and reward involved in this extremely complex and often drawn out process.What is a Short Sale?A short sale is a legally-binding agreement to allow a home to be sold for less than the amount that is owed. And, while short sales are not by any means common or easy, because of increasing inventory levels and foreclosures in some parts of the country, lenders are much more eager to negotiate with borrowers who are having trouble paying their mortgages. For potential home buyers and real estate investors, a short sale also offers a great opportunity to purchase property at a significant discount.However, don't expect a lot of help from the lender without first providing a sales contract from a qualified buyer and all the information required by the lender's loss mitigation department.Of course, lenders are not looking to bail out "flippers" or other borrowers who simply overextended themselves. In most cases, a borrower must have suffered a serious financial hardship that directly caused him or her to default on the mortgage: the loss of a job, a serious illness, or the death of a loved one.A written declaration and supporting documentation demonstrating financial hardship will definitely be required by the lender. This may include pay stubs, tax returns, and liquid asset statements, among other documentation.Key Considerations to Keep in MindIt's important to note that the difference between what is owed on a mortgage and the final amount the lender collects after the costs of the sale, including real estate commissions and possibly other charges don't simply disappear in a short sale. In the past, this deficiency or "canceled mortgage debt" was considered taxable income to the borrower. However, thanks to the Mortgage Forgiveness Act of 2007, the tax burden for qualifying canceled mortgage debt (as high as 35%) for primary residences only has been temporarily waived. The federal timeline has been extended to 2012 although states are not required to follow it for state income.If there are multiple liens against the property, all lien holders will have to be involved in the negotiation process, not just the first lien holder. Therefore, communication and patience are essential components of any short sale. This is why an experienced real estate agent and mortgage professional become so valuable to this process. Call me. Let's discuss how we can market short sales and other foreclosure alternatives to potential buyers and sellers as a unique selling proposition that clearly separates us from the competition.
