Jacksonville Short Sale Realtor What is a real estate short sale? A quick sale in real estate, also commonly called a short sale, happens when a lender is willing to accept a lower payoff on a loan than what is currently owed due to the borrowers inability to continue making payments. What does it take to qualify for a Short sale? While lenders seem to be easier to work with lately regarding qualifications, there are usually three borrower qualifications that most lenders require for a Jacksonville short sale. Negative Equity - The proceeds from the sale of the property, after all closing costs are paid, are less than the amount currently owed on the property, Financial Insolvency - Financial insolvency means that the borrower has no other assets that could cover the deficiency (the di... 04/17/2017

 Sunday, December 4, 2016 Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man   Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man  Who remembers the Rock Band Lynyrd Skynyrd? Robert Vegas Bob Swetz grew up with bands back in the 1970's like Lynyrd Skynyrd along with many other rock bands. I remember watching the Lynyrd Skynyrd when they were just a warm up band for the heavy hitters like the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, etc.  The Lynyrd Skynyrd band would outplay and out perform the top bands when they were a warm up band and Vegas Bob had the privilege of viewing Lynyrd Skynyrd 5 different times in concert over the years' After a tragic plane crash killed some of the band members it really crushed the band for many years. Here is a great video of the some of the (originals) from the band and some new performers playing one of my ... 12/04/2016

I get it… who wants to move during the Holidays? No one… but that is exactly my point. This time of year, I hear from a lot of sellers, “We want/need to Sell, but we want to wait until after the Holiday season.” By waiting until the new year, you are doing your self a disservice and loosing money at the same time. So, let’s jump right into this: People who are looking at homes during the Holidays are more serious buyers. Usually, they are moving because they have to… not because they want to. Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the Holidays… and less competition means more money in your pocket! Since the supply of listings will dramatically increase in January, there will be more competition… therefore, less demand for your home! Less demand equals less money for you... 11/15/2016

If you or anyone you know is in a negative equity position and owes more than the value of their home, time may be running out to complete a short sale and also not have a tax liability for any money forgiven by their lender. Prior to 2007, short sales were NOT very appealing to home owners in hardship due to the fact that the borrower could be liable to pay taxes on any money forgiven by their lender for their primary residence. The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act came to be law on December 20th, 2007. This important act was great news and gave most home owners in hardship the chance to sell their property as a short sale, and NOT be have to pay income taxes on the money forgiven them by their lender.Unfortunately, this act is set to expire in just a few months at the end of 2016.... 10/11/2016
