I received my SFR Certification!

I am now an NAR Certified Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource. If you know anyone who is in trouble and wants to sell their house or knows someone wanting to purchase a home that is a short sale, send them my way.
Hopefully the length of short sales will drop so buyers will be more attracted to these types of sales.
Buyers need to be aware now that the timeline can be 3-6 months or even longer to close on these types of properties.
Bank Owned and REOs sell fast especially if you have cash.
There are some great deals available to buyers now. The tax credit, the low interest rates and the low prices are a great reason to buy now!
Have a great day!

Now is the Time to Buy!

With the First time homebuyers credit, low interest rates, and great prices on nice houses, now is the time to buy!
I just read an article on Interest rates. Check this out. I keep seeing that the Interest Rates are going to rise. I have to tools to show you how much you can save by getting in on these low interest rates now. This will more than offset any drop in prices of properties. So you should not be waiting to buy.
Here is the link to the article. http://www.floridarealtors.org/NewsAndEvents/article.cfm?id=231532
Let me know if I can be of any assistance. You dont have to be looking in Florida for me to give you help.
Have a great day!
