How to Get a Loan Modification on Your Mortgage

How does someone get a loan modification ?

Call your mortgage servicer and ask to be considered for a “Home Affordable Modification”, or HAMP. The number is on your monthly mortgage bill or coupon book. Honestly and clearly tell them about your situation. They will assess your financial state through phone calls and paperwork to determine whether you qualify for a loan modification. Keep copies of all mailings between you and the lender and take detailed notes on who you speak with and what you talked about. Details of your conversations give you documentation down the road if you are faced with foreclosure. Be sure to watch the clock on all of this though, because when you’re applying for a loan modification, you are on the lender’s time table and we’ve seen many homeowners who were still waiting for the loan modification when they received foreclosure paperwork in the mail.

If you’ve been late on your mortgage or you’re at a point where you know you can’t pay on time anymore, call us and we’ll explain all of your options without the waiting! You can email me or you can apply for information online by clicking here apply online now. If you would prefer to discuss it on the phone, or set an appointment call me Toll Free at 866-433-6474 or call my cell directly at (703) 774-9572. We also have an agent to help our Spanish speaking clients, just call Mimi Tyrie at 703-542-3178.

How to Make an Offer on a Short Sale Property

How Much Should You Offer on a Short Sale?

What is the perfect offer? You want a deal but you also want the house. If you offer too low, the seller and bank may be offended. If you offer too high, you could have missed out on a discount or lower price with negotiations. With a short sale, your offer is not only going to the seller but also the seller’s bank. It could take longer to have your offer reviewed so you really want to be sure you offer the right amount the first time. The bank could still come back with a counteroffer.

Here are some tips to think about before you submit your offer:

1. Look at Comparables

What is the average price per square foot in the neighborhood? What have recent similar nearby homes sold for? Are there repairs needed or recent updates that could affect the purchase price? Your realtor should have researched these aspects and if they haven’t, urge them to or find another realtor. Knowing what similar homes are selling for will give you an idea of the fair market value.

2. What can you afford?

Do not offer more than you can afford and you may want to offer a bit less than you can afford in case they counter back with a higher offer. If you are looking at a home above your price range and hoping they will accept your lower offer so you can afford it, be prepared to walk away.

3. How long has it been on the market?

If this home has been sitting on the market more than 2 months without any offers, than maybe it is priced wrong or there is something that is turning buyers away. You may be able to get the price down if it has been sitting for a while.

4. Make your offer an odd number

This may sound strange but round numbers sound like every other offer out there. Going with an offer of $281,900 or $283,000 instead of $180,000 may actually stand out and make the seller think you have really thought through your numbers.

5. Make an escalation offer

This is a clause you can put in your offer stating you will pay X amount more than another offer up to certain amount. For example, you offer $155,000 but your escalation clause says you will pay $1,000 more than another offer up to $165,000. This helps your offer stand out in a situation of multiple offers but also keeps you from having to pay more than what is needed for a home. If this escalation clause is put into action, the sellers usually must show you the other offer as proof.

We hope these tips help you figure out how to make a better offer on your dream home!

If you are looking to buy or sell in the Northern Virginia area, this is a great time! Please give our team a call! We would love to help you find your dream home!

What to do if you Can’t Pay your Mortgage because of the Government Shutdown

If you’d like to talk more about modifying you mortgage give call at 703-651-5655.

Are Loan Modifications Worth it or are they a Scam?

Homeowners who are struggling to make their mortgage payments need to be aware of con artists that promise to save their homes and lower their mortgage debt or their payments.

Watch out for:

• No special assistance is needed to apply for a HAMP modification and paying a third party does not improve your likelihood of obtaining one. Beware of persons claiming to be HAMP experts. Homeowners can make application on their own or with the help of a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) approved housing counselor. Applying for the program is always free.
• No third party can approve a modification; this can only be done by the loan servicer.
• No advance fee is necessary for mortgage modification services and in most cases charging in advance for a modification is illegal.
• Homeowners should verify the authenticity of any individual or company that claims to be affiliated with HAMP or displays a seal or logo representing the U.S. government by calling the Homeowner’s HOPE^TM Hotline.
• Beware of individuals or companies that offer money-back guarantees or that advise stopping mortgage payments or not contacting the mortgage servicer.

The key is to look for help that requires NO FEES! If you have questions about the loan modification you’re already taking part in, or if you’re in any kind of trouble with your mortgage, call me at (703) 774-9572 or email me. We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners and we can help you too.

We have successfully sold over 350 short sales! Yours may be next!

How Do You Make Sure Buyers See Your Home and not the SNOW?

So you have your home listed for sale this winter… and you want to make sure that potential buyers notice your lovely home and not all the snow piled on the ground!

There are many pros to selling your home in the winter. Some studies show that homes sell faster and closer to their list price in the winter than another other season! In the Northern Virginia/DC Metro our spring market tends to show up way earlier than most people would think. January is usually pretty hot of a market and we are telling all clients to list their home now as there is less inventory and buyers are out and ready to buy!

So how do you make sure your home shows well in the winter?

Shovel Well!

If you cannot keep up with the shoveling, hire the neighbor teenagers or a shoveling service. Make sure you treat for ice as well! If potential buyers cannot even get to your front door easily, they may skip the showing all together!

Clean Gutters!

Make sure your gutters are not sagging with leaves and snow and ice built up! Keep the gutters clean and make sure there are no needed outdoor repairs. This shows buyers that you take care of your property and that there should not be any surprise repairs when all the snow melts!

Warm it Up!

Keep your temperature nice and warm for showings so potential buyers feel comfortable as they look around your home.

Decorate!

Tastefully decorate for the season and holidays so when a buyer walks in they can imagine their family spending the holidays in your home!

Service Heating!

Buyers are more conscious about heating and utilities in the winter. Have your HVAC and heating appliances serviced so buyers can feel confident that everything is up and running well.

Great Review from a Selling Client!

“We recently sold our house thanks to Jennifer Young and her team. It was a long process (not the fault of the JY team) but we finally made it. Jennifer Young and her team were awesome! Finding the right realtor was difficult but once we had a phone interview with them (late in the evening after dinner which was much appreciated with our busy schedules) we knew they were our realtors. They were patient and willingly to answer any questions, and if they did not know the answers, they were willingly to find out. They were always accessible through e-mail or phone, and they were very responsive. Again, it was a long process but they were encouraging the whole time. Thanks again to the team for doing an awesome job!”

Does the Seller Pay for Real Estate Commissions When Selling a Short Sale?

There are always a lot of questions when we go to sign listing agreements with new short sale clients. One big one is – “Do we have to pay the real estate commission if the bank is not willing to pay it in full?” Here is my answer to a recent client with this same question:

…This is always paid by the lender and we take whatever they give us and never ask you for the difference  and we put that in writing through  the ‘3^rd party approval’ in the listing agreement. Basically if the 3^rd party doesn’t agree to our commissions, the list price, etc.. then they will counter us and we always take whatever they give us. They often reduce our listing and the buyer agent’s 3% commission in short sales but we start at %6 so we have negotiating room when they do ask for a reduction. We also do not have any administrative fees or retainer fees.

Mortgage lenders are increasingly willing to work with borrowers faced with a financial hardship to accept a discounted payoff on a mortgage. If you are faced with a hardship that makes it likely you will be unable to meet your obligation on your mortgage, your lender would prefer to settle the matter with you as opposed to taking the property through foreclosure.

As you consider the option of pursuing a Short Sale, remember your lender is looking to limit any potential loss on your loan. By completing a Short Sale, your lender has arrived at a solution that is, for them, much better than a foreclosure. Bottom line, your lender wants to work with you.

If you are in a possible short sale situation and want to get more information about the process, please call us. We would like to help you understand what you need to know about a short sale and if you qualify! We have successfully sold over 350 short sales! Yours may be next!

Tips for Selling Your Short Sale in the Fall!

Many people think fall is a hard time to sell a home. In our Northern Virginia area, fall is actually a great time to sell! Here are some tips to get your home ready for the fall market:

1. De-Leaf!

Make sure you rake, remove leaves from the gutters, cut the grass, and trim the bushes! Curb appeal makes such a difference when selling your home. By keeping the leaves off and the yard and roof, your home will automatically stand out among others in your neighborhood just by looking leaf free!

2. Autumn Decor!

Warm your entrance up with some mums and pumpkins. Put a leafy wreath on your door! Put some red and orange candles or throw pillows around! Adding fall decor can make a house feel homey and welcoming.

3. Warm up!

Make sure the inside of your home is warm and comfortable. Nothing like making a buyer cold to speed up their walk through your home.

4. Lighten it up!

Open up the blinds, turn on all the lights to help a home feel more open, spacious and warm. Dark spaces turn away buyers. So with days getting shorter in the fall, make sure you are bringing in as much light as you can!

5. Scents of Fall!

Your sense of smell is linked to your emotions! The smell of cinnamon or apple pie wafting through your home can help a buyer feel cozy and be able to emotionally picture themselves living there.

If you are looking to buy or sell in the Northern Virginia area, this is a great time! Please give our team a call! We would love to help you find your dream home!

Parents: 10 Tips to Prepare Young Children for a Move

“Allowing your child to decide what to do with his/her worn toys provides them a feeling of control in a situation that is largely, out of their control.”

#1 – TALK EARLY
Tell your children about the upcoming move as soon as possible.

#2 – PROS & CONS:
Discuss with your children, in an age-appropriate manner, some of the pros and cons of moving.

#3 – LET THEM HELP
Encourage your children†to help you investigate your new community.

#4 – RESIST THE URGE TO PURGE
When packing, resist the urge to throw out all of your children’s old, unused toys.

#5 – PACK LAST
Pack any young children’s belongings last; allowing them prolonged access to their familiar possessions reduces their anxiety.

#6 – VISIT NEW HOME
Take your children†to visit the new home at least once prior moving day, and be sure to keep the visit short, and upbeat.

#7 – MOVING PARTY
Ask your child if he/she would like to have a moving party.

#8 – TIMING
Most kids make new friends at school fairly easily, but if your moving date is scheduled after the end of the school year, your child could be facing a long, lonely summer break.

#9 – EXPLORING DAY
Once the move has taken place, organize a “family exploring day”.

#10 – DECORATING
Involve your children†in deciding how to decorate their new bedrooms.
