ARE YOU ALREADY IN FORECLOSURE? CLICK HERE...

Are you already in Pre-Foreclosure? Are you receiving notices from your lender regarding past due charges and late payments? Have you received a Notice Of intent to foreclosure sale on your home? These actions are all signs of a coming foreclosure sale of your property. If you are experiencing any of these things, do not ignore these notices, as there still may be hope to keeping your home. Once the realization surfaces of a possible foreclosure of your real estate, you need to spring into action quick. Start with your local state and government agencies. If your real estate is in DC, then contact the DC Government website and find links that are associated with your real estate problem. Some programs are available that may be able to stop foreclosure of your dc realestate property. If your real estate is in Maryland, then there are foreclosure prevention resources that are available there also. Be sure to check with licensed lenders, banks, and lending institutions also. They offer assistance and ways to work with the homeowner to avoid a foreclosure sale. The most common tactics used are:

Refinance
Special Forbearance Package
Loan Modification

These methods are used to assist the home owner and prevent your property from going to a foreclosure sale.


If your real estate property is possibly going to go to foreclosure sale or is already in pending foreclosure sale, it is important to understand your foreclosure prevention options. There are several possibilities that can help your foreclosure problem. The terms to consider are as follows:
Reinstatement – This is the process which your lender may be willing to accept the total debt in a lump sum payment.

Forbearance – This is when your lender may allow you to reduce of suspend payments for a short time and then agree to another option to restructure your loan. This is often used in addition to Reinstatement, if the lender knows that they will have a lump sum of money at a certain time.

Repayment plan – This is a method used which includes getting an agreement to resume making your regular monthly payments, plus a portion of the past due payments each month until you are caught up.

If you have additional questions regarding your foreclosure process, you will have to consult with your current lender.

FOR SALE BY OWNER MARKETING TIPS

FSBO Marketing is a crucial point in selling a For-Sale-By-Owner listing. Maximum exposure is key to successful FSBO Open Houses and receiving offers. However, if the services of a licensed realestate agent are not wanted by a home seller, then it is important to come up with additional marketing methods that would reach a large audience.

It is very beneficial for property sellers to work with real estate professionals when selling their house so that it can be exposed to other licensed professionals that are representing qualified pre-approved buyers looking to embrace homeownership. As a licensed professional in the real estate industry, I have the resources, skills, and knowledge on how to market your house and can maximize exposure by way of MLS / MRIS Listing services and other various real estate marketing tools that I use most commonly when selling a property. Often times, a FSBO listing trade paying a commission, for restricted marketing tools that in most cases end up with carrying costs (based on market conditions) such as self marketing costs, real estate attorney costs, and more. As a real estate agent, I am here to work for you. If you are a FSBO / For-Sale-By Owner, and you are not receiving the exposure that you need, contact me now and you will only pay me commission if I bring you a buyer!

How to Distinguish Your FSBO Property from your Competitors


Curb appeal

Curb Appeal is a very beneficial point in selling your real estate. It can have a very significant impact on your real estate investment return. Curb Appeal is what draws the buyer in by catching the eye while opening up both curiosity and interest of the buyer to want to know more about your home. Curb appeal coupled with a “For Sale” sign in your yard usually sings a sweet welcome song in the ears of the potential buyer, which ultimate lends to a potential offer and possible sell. When you are marketing your property as FSBO / For Sale By Owner or with a licensed real estate professional, it is always a good idea to invest some money towards curb appeal. When investing in your real estate curb appeal, your home will certainly be more likely to attract a buyer’s eye, and sing a sweet lullaby tune of relaxation as they enter the door of your home with the intent on a possible purchase. Staging is also a good for your real estate investment and sale of your property. When implementing staging and curb appeal, you would definitely appeal to a larger audience, which in turn would be more likely to attract an offer. During your FSBO Real Estate Consultation, curb appeal and its benefits are certainly addressed a little more in depth in conjunction with the pros and cons of implementing curb appeal into your real estate transaction.


Home Staging Techniques

What is Home Staging? Home Staging is the act of preparing a private residence prior to going up for sale in the real estate marketplace. The goal of staging is to sell a home quickly, and for the most money possible by attracting the most amount of potential buyers. Home Staging focuses on improving a property to make it appeal to the largest amount of buyers by transforming it into a welcoming, appealing, and attractive product for sale. Staging often raises the value of a property by way of reducing the home's flaws, depersonalizing, de-cluttering, cleaning, improving condition items, and landscaping. For vacant homes, rental furniture is used to create a living space the buyer could "see" themselves in. Properly executed staging leads the eye to attractive features while minimizing flaws.

Home Staging has become an important part in marketing and selling your real estate. When the perspective buyer enters your home for the first time, it is crucial to make sure that they can envision themselves living at the property. Just like the old saying, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression”, therefore, you want to capture the buyer and convert his him from Just looking to let’s make an offer. This is where the services of a licensed and Professional Real Estate Agent can offer assistance in this area. It is important for FSBO sellers to understand this process and the effect, if not considered, it could have on your ROI. Many real estate agents, have developed relationships with different real estate industry professionals and have had the opportunity to work with them in various areas. This experience within the industry and in home staging, many professionals believe it to be a very important tool when preparing a home for open house and showings.
