Tracy Short Sales: Should I Be Embarrassed by Doing a Short Sale

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III

Tracy CA – Short Sales are a situation that can often cause emotional turmoil as well as financial. It’s amazing how quick people are to judge others but times may be changing when it comes to today’s financial situations. We’re all feeling tough times. We all have seen local businesses close, people we know losing jobs they’ve had for years, and seen how the cost of living increases while the income we’re making doesn’t seem to be keeping the same pace.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

Most of us don’t speak “legal-eze” and personally I’m thankful that most of us also don’t operate like some lenders. It’s hard to understand why a lender will jump at doing a Short Sale on a home as opposed to working with someone who’s done everything in their power to make right the situation they’ve ended up in, being overdue with the lender.

Many lenders somehow find it more logical to do a Short Sale than to work with the original owner and re-finance or negotiate terms that make it more reasonable for the owner to make regular payments again. Placing the overdue amounts at the end of your loan and putting you back on track seems more logical to you and I than taking a Short Sale. But then again, when does our logic seem to match the logic of most lenders?

What we have noticed though is that while we are all together in this financial mess of our economy we also seem to be more sympathetic and understanding about the situations of others. Friends and neighbors aren’t so quick to judge those who suddenly have a “Foreclosure” or “Short Sale” sign on their front lawn. People have become more sympathetic to those in their community who have been hit hard by hard times. There is no longer a scarlet letter worn by those who have hit hard times and find themselves having to give up their home via a Short Sale.

There is no shame in Short Sales. In most cases the home owners have approached their lender in every possible way, using every possible means to keep their home. Most lenders turn down every option other than literally snapping your fingers and coming up with all of the money owed instantly, no matter what the situation may be. These lenders should bear all of the shame for creating situations that don’t allow for a good, honest homeowner to maintain their dream.

A Short Sale is an option that is taken to help keep your dignity, sell your home, and have a fresh start. Many take this choice hoping to do less harm to their credit rating. Many times friends and neighbors will not only understand your situation but will respect that you’ve remained dignified through a terrible crisis in your life. Each of us understands that we are almost all only a paycheck away from being on the streets in today’s economy.

As we work together to make things better, one of the things we notice is that there truly is a lot less judging and finger pointing going on in life and a whole lot more understanding and help. The fingers are pointing to the lenders now instead.

We are here to help you understand and get through making the choices you need to make regarding a Short Sale of your home. We have the knowledge and training behind us to make your transition as smooth as possible. Most of all we will treat you with respect and help you not only make the experience understandable, but bearable. We can give you information that will give you hope and show you that the future may have a better picture ahead and even another home some day with our help. There is no shame in taking the option of a Short Sale and we are here to show you.

Tracy Short Sales: The Importance of Curb Appeal When Selling Your Home

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – No matter what the circumstances are when you’re selling your home, you want to get top dollar for it. For the potential owner it’s like their birthday, or Christmas, or Hanukkah. So, why not GIFT WRAP your home for them? As silly as that seems that’s exactly what you are doing when you are putting your home up for sale. You are presenting a large gift to the potential owners and one of the first things to attract their attention is the packaging. You want them to take their first look and say, “That’s the one I want” even before they’ve stepped inside your home.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

When you’re sitting there at a holiday get together or at a birthday party, the first package that catches your eye is the package that’s wrapped perfectly. The one gift that looks well cared for and beautiful on the outside. From that one look of the outside wrapping of that gift you just know that whatever is inside has to be something special if the person took that amount of time in wrapping it so perfectly.

The same goes in the opposite direction also. If someone stops at the last minute and literally just leaves the gift in the bag from the store they bought it from and slaps a bow on it, your first thought isn’t “wow that’s got to be a great gift” but instead you probably barely glance in that direction. It could be a great gift but the presentation says that the gift giver didn’t put a whole lot of time, effort and thought into it so chances are whatever they bought didn’t have a whole lot of thought put in it either.

Your home is much like that birthday gift or special holiday gift. The “wrapping” is the outside curb appeal. If someone is driving by and they see this beautifully wrapped home, one with perfect lighting placed in just the right spots, clean driveways and sidewalks, trimmed bushes and freshly painted trim they’re going to take a second look. However, driving by the house that is just sitting in a plain bag with a bow, trim peeling, overgrown, untrimmed bushes and landscape with no appealing lighting on to help them see the entire area is going to cause the potential buyer to literally not even give the house a second look as they drive by.

The inside of the house could be immaculate and have every amenity imaginable but because it wasn’t “wrapped” in beautiful gift wrap with a sparkling bow and attention grabbing beauty, it will either be passed by or if out of desperation they do look further they’re going to offer a lot less simply based on the shabby packaging.

So that’s curb appeal. Curb appeal is the beauty a potential buyer sees from the outside before they ever even begin to approach the inside. Curb appeal is what makes them say, “We should really take a look at this one!” You can see how important it is that the curb appeal of your home be that perfectly wrapped package. Make your house be the package that jumps out amongst the other gifts. Make those potential buyers drive by and say “We have to open that package! Anyone who took the time to make it look so perfect has to have good taste! It can only get better from here!”

That is how important curb appeal is in selling your home. Make your home shine from the outside in and give them the feeling that with a beautiful bow and perfectly matched paper, this is the gift they want to open!

Tracy Short Sale Question: Should I Short Sale Or Declare Bankruptcy?

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – The Stop Foreclosure Institute recently received a question from James. Here is his question.

“I am upside down by $300,000 on my home. I want to move, but I am concerned about having that $300,000 debt chasing me for the rest of my life. A friend mentioned I could get it wiped out in bankruptcy.

So, here is my question. Should I short sale and then declare bankruptcy. Or just declare bankruptcy and get rid of the house in the bankruptcy? James.”

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

Here was our answer to James’s Question. James, here is something you don’t know. In most short sales, the upside down debt will be erased.

Yes, the banks will forgive the upside down debt. We recently had a homeowner short sale a house where their bank lost over $400,000. They received a complete release on the debt.

The debt was gone and he had no need to declare bankruptcy. Not a bad deal, no? Here is the good news for you. First, many states have laws that forbid banks from pursuing you for a deficiency after a short sale or foreclosure.

Second, most lenders do not pursue borrowers. In fact, they will specifically release you from the debt. But, every situation is different.

Talk to an experienced short sale realtor in your area to get more specifics. Thinking about a short sale?

Tracy Short Sales: Are you facing Foreclosure?

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – What can you do if you are facing a foreclosure? One of the scariest and worse case scenarios for a homeowner is getting so far behind in your payments that foreclosure is leering around the corner. You feel as though you have let everyone, yourself included, down. You feel embarrassed, even if you aren’t actually holding the papers yet. So now what?

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

Here are a few tips to help you out:

1.) First off if you’ve been getting letters “threatening “ foreclosure you need to step up and take action. Ignoring them until you actually get the foreclosure papers sent to you will not make it go away.

2.) It’s time to sit down and figure out how far behind you are and if it is truly realistic to catch up your payments. You have to be real and honest with yourself about your situation and figure out a realistic budget to work with. Thinking that “oh I can do this, I just have to cut out my $5 latte every morning and make up the money” is not a realistic option that will get you out of the situation. Be realistic and figure out exactly how much you can budget each month for the necessities and the small extras. If you haven’t noticed, this entire step has used the word “realistic” and that’s the exact word you have to keep in mind.

3.) You have to realize and keep in mind that, in all honesty, the last thing your lender probably wants is to own your home. They are in the money business, not the home owning business. If they are forced to take over the home they’re also faced with everything a “homeowner” is faced with; such as all of the maintenance, upkeep, heating bills, air conditioning bills, all of the utility bills and more. This comes down to one thing, they really don’t want to take your home and would probably much rather work with you to make realistic arrangements in helping you keep your home.

4.) Do not avoid your lender. Call them and start to see what can be done to stop the foreclosure. Once the actual foreclosure begins it’s very hard to stop it; so you want to make sure you contact them immediately. If you reach a person that you simply cannot deal with and takes the approach of scare tactics and put downs, then immediately request to speak to their superior. You deserve to be treated with respect throughout the entire process and demand such.

Once you start talking to the financial agent you may find they have many options in place to help you. You are not the first person they’ve had who was in the position of possible foreclosure and you won’t be the last. Thinking about a short sale?

Tracy Short Sales Are Improving

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – We recently saw something positive on short sales with Bank of America. Bank of America recently sent out an email stating that you can no initiate the short sale process without a buyer.

The agent can start the process and get things going before a buyer makes an offer to purchase the property.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

This will help to reduce the short sale timeline. All of the documents will be submitted and if the negotiator needs anything else, they can request it earlier in the process.

This also allows Bank of America to contact the owner of the loan earlier. This is important as some loan owners can take a while to respond.

We think this is a good development that will make Bank of America short sales easier. It also shows that the lenders are working to make the process smoother and easier. Thinking about a short sale?

Tracy Short Sale Question: What Are My Options?

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – The Stop Foreclosure Insitute recently received a question from Denzel.

Here was his question. “I purchased my home in 2007 for 365,000 and put 18,000 down. Today I owe approximately 340000.

The mortgage is with Wells Fargo. No Second. The same size home is being sold by the builder brand new for 240,000 brand new.

I have to move for retirement, and don’t have a job lined up. What are my options. Denzel.”

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

Here was our answer to Denzel’s Question. I think a short sale would be your best option. Let me explain why.

First, in most cases the bank will forgive you of the upside down debt. Second, it is a clean break that allows you to move on without having to worry about the house anymore.

Many people would consider renting out their house. But, that will only turn your home into a long term burden. You will have to collect rent each month from the tenant and cover the mortgage if they don’t pay.

Besides, managing a rental home from another town is difficult. You won’t know how the tenants are maintaining it. It will be hard to rent the home to someone else after the move.

You will have to come back to town or hire someone else to rent it for you. This just means more expense and hassle for you. Again, which is why I recommend a short sale.

A third option is to simply stop paying on the home and let the bank foreclose.But, you end up with more credit damage versus if you short sold the home. Thinking about a short sale?

Tracy Short Sale Myth: It Is Very Difficult To Get A Bank To Approve A Short Sale

by The Silveria Team - Frank Silveria III


Tracy CA – Short sales are difficult when you do not know what you are doing. But, they aren’t as difficult as people say.

Click here to discover how other sellers successfully did a short sale and avoided foreclosure.

Here are the three keys to getting a short sale approved.

#1: Follow up. Many agents don’t take short sales seriously. They have heard the horror stories from other agents and therefore don’t think their odds of success are very high.

Because of that, they don’t put much effort into the short sale. They’ll submit the short sale file, but won’t spend much time following up on it.

If it gets approved, then great. If not, then oh well. A denied or drawn out short sale just confirm their perception that short sales are difficult.

“I knew short sales were hard and this just confirms this”, they say to themselves. But, they never gave themselves a chance in the beginning and set themselves up for failure.

The key to getting our short sales approved is follow up. The bank’s negotiator is like a government bureaucrat. They don’t care if the short sale is approved or denied. They just process the file.

So you have to supply them with whatever they request. If you give them what they want, then with a little luck the short sale will be approved.

#2: Luck. Not every single short sale is going to be approved the first time. The bank won’t approve the short sale if they think it is selling below fair market value.

But, the bank’s valuation process is flawed. Sometimes the property will be valued fairly and sometimes it won’t. Sometimes luck is with you and the valuation is good.

Other times, it isn’t and the short sale is denies. Which brings us to Key #3: Time. If the short sale is denied, then you simply put the home back on the market and try again.

The odds are better than 50% of the time the valuation will be correct so the short sale can be approved. This gives you another fair shot at getting the short sale approved.

If luck is on your side, then the short sale is approved. If not, then you have to try again a third time. Again, the odds are in your favor.

If you have time on your side, then the odds will usually prevail and the short sale will be approved. That is why the vast majority of short sales are approved by the second time around. Thinking about a short sale?

Important Notice

Frank G. Silveria III, Taffeco Real Estate, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorse by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?

Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.

However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.

We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.

This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.

You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.

The views expressed here are Frank G.’s personal views and do not reflect the views of Taffeco Real Estate.
