How to Stage and Show a House with Young Kids

So you are selling your home! Congratulations! And you have young kiddos! Good for you! Except….young kids and staging do not mix well.

Here are some tips that will help you stage while staying sane with young children in the home!

1. Purge and Store

You may have lots of extra toys and kids clothing that your kids do not even use anymore! Get rid of them! Not only does this clear out unneeded “stuff” to help your house look more organized, it will help jump start your packing since it will be less to move!

2. Baskets and Bins!!

So, realistically, you cannot get rid of all the toys. I mean, what are your kids going to do until your home sells?? But buyers do not want to see kids toys when they walk in for a showing. So practically, having extra bins and baskets to toss in the toys that are strewn around before you run out of the house for a showing can really help save you time and help keep your sanity.

3. Friends, Family, Babysitters, Park, Chuck E Cheese

Use any help you can get! When a showing comes up, you may have only 30 minutes to an hour to get ready and out the door. Make sure you have a list of places you can go for an hour or two until your showings are done.

4.Magic Erasers!

Markers on the wall? Smudges on the table? Scuffs on the floor? Make sure to have a stock of magic erasers for those quick fixes! You will not be able to live with kids in a sparkling house, but you can try very hard to maintain the sparkliness!

5. Go TEAM!

If your kids do not have chores, this could be a good time to instill some hard work. You get a call or text that you have a showing in 1 hour…. Johnny knows he needs to clean up all the shoes, Sarah picks up all the toys and Tommy vacuums! Then you parents can worry about the other things you need to touch up quickly. Team effort can make showings much less stressful!

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!

You Need to do a Short Sale- What’s Next?

Short Sale Owner’s Role Vs Foreclosure Owner’s Role

The role of the owner in short sales is definitely different then their role in a foreclosure. Their are benefits to buying either a short sale or a foreclosure when it comes to finding a good deal but the role the owner plays in each scenario can be drastically different.

1. Motivation

A short sale owner is very motivated to sell their home. The owner is trying to sell their home before it goes into foreclosure. If they can avoid foreclosure, they avoid a lot of financial burden and long term consequences. So these owners are motivated to be on the buyer’s side.

Foreclosure owners on the other hand can be a huge issue. They do not want their house sold, and many will fight it tooth and nail. Sometimes, it is the buyers responsibility to evict the old owners once the house is bought. There have been times where the original owners have trashed their home out of spite. These issues do not arise in a short sale situation.

2. Price Agreement

The short sale owner does not usually worry about how much the buyer offers, as long as the bank approves it. They might be frustrated that they paid much more than the new buyer might be paying, but they are usually very grateful to just be out from under the financial burden of owing more than their house is worth.

3. Cooporation

Sellers for short sales are ready to cooperate with the buyers. They will try to keep their house in better shape than those in a foreclosure situation who may not want their house to sell or are so financially unstable that they cannot keep up with general house maintenance.

The owners of a short sale are much easier to work with and more motivated than those of a foreclosure. If you find yourself looking to buy short sales or in a position needing to short sell your home in the Northern Virginia area, please give us a call so we can help you through the process!

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 to Avoid Loan Modification Scams

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.

How to do a Short Sale with Multiple Loans

One of the frequently asked questions when it comes to short sales is “can I still do a short sale when I have more than one loan? And HOW?!”

The simple answer is yes! You can do a short sale with more than one loan. How- by individually negotiating with each bank you have a loan with. This sounds tricky and it is! But we have a lot of experience getting 2 and even 3 banks to accept a short sale for our clients.

Negotiation

Although both banks will lose money on a short sale, most are willing to negotiate because they would rather get something from the short sale process than have to chance it in a foreclosure process. Usually, the first lender will get the majority of the net profit after sale, and the second and sometimes third lender will get much less. Part of the negotiation process comes when we are trying to get all lenders to approve the short sale and waive all deficiency rights.

There is almost always an audible sigh of relief from our short sale clients when they get a buyer contract on their home. Even though the process still continues because in many cases, we have to go to the bank to negotiate with them to accept that offer. There is still such great relief that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for this frustrating financial situation.

Being underwater on your home can feel like such a burden. If you owe more on your home than it is worth and you live in the Northern Virginia, DC metro area, please give our team a call. We would love to talk you through the process and see if you qualify for a short sale. We have successfully sold over 350 short sales and would love to make yours a success story too!

Short Sale Market Update and Relocation Assistance!

Hi, it’s Jennifer Young with Jennifer Young Homes and I wanted to take a minute to give you an update on short sales. As you probably know, our team has been negotiating short sales and loan modifications for years now. We’ve helped many families, over 300 actually, do loan modifications and short sales, and avoid foreclosure or sometimes bankruptcy.

Short Sales are still a long, drawn-out, detailed process but we help you through the whole thing. It doesn’t cost you anything to do a short sale with us because the bank pays our fee.

Relocation Assistance

And we had one successful short sale recently where the bank paid our clients $10,000 dollars to relocate. This is called relocation assistance. And while it’s not guaranteed in every case, we are very successful in getting it and we always ask and try to get it. So our clients were able to do a short sale, sell their property for current market value, the bank took the whole loss on the property, and the bank gave my clients a check for $10,000 to cover moving expenses.

Even though it wasn’t an ideal sale because my clients didn’t make a lot of money and their property hadn’t appreciated, they had bought in the height of the market; it was a really great day to celebrate because all deficiency rights were waived, they were able to sell the property they were underwater on with no deficiency rights and no promissory note to the bank, no cash out of pocket and they got $10,000 to relocate.

So if you would like to talk more about short sales and the whole process, give us a call. (703) 774-9572 or virginiashortsalespecialist.com

How to Get the Bank to Accept Your Offer On a Short Sale!

Wow the Lender to get Your Offer Accepted on a Short Sale!

Short sales can scare the average buyer away because of the complexities and the unknowns. If you are looking for your dream home and want to open up more possibilities by looking at short sales, here are some tips!

Ways to Wow the Lender

Offer a fair price
The bottom line for a bank is money. They do not want to accept any less than they can possible get for the home. Make sure your offer does not offend them, but be sure your realtor does the research on the market value. Your realtor can submit a report to explain your offer and why you may have offered a low price.

Get an experienced realtor on your side
Many banks have companies to handle their short sales so make sure your realtor has experience in negotiating and understanding the complete process of a short sale.

Submit your offer with no contingencies
By not making your offer contingent on your current home sale, or a new roof, ect, this helps the bank feel less pressure and know that you want the house and are willing to make sacrifices to get it.

Have a substantial down payment
This helps your offer stand out among others and proves your financial capability. Even if there are no other offers on the table, this shows the bank that it is worth going with your offer over waiting for a better one.

Be willing to wait
Despite the name, short sales are not short. But they can be worth the effort and wait for your to get the house you want! Know that you could wait and don’t be scared off by that! Your realtor can be checking on the process and put pressure on the bank to make a decision. If your realtor is not proactive, get a better one!

If you can prove to the lender that you are the best qualifying buyer, they are more likely to accept your offer. Having an experienced short sale realtor will be your biggest strength! So do your research and ask the hard questions about how may successful short sales has that realtor closed!

If you are looking to buy or sell a short sale in Northern Virginia area, we would love to help make this process easier for you. Our team has successfully sold over 300 short sales. We know are stuff and are proactive in getting the job done for you! Please give us a call today!

Definition of Deficiency Rights for Short Sales

What are Deficiency Rights in a Short Sale? 

According to www.thefreedictionary.com the definition of Deficiency judgment is the following:

n. a judgment for an amount not covered by the value of security put up for a loan or installment payments. In most states the party owed money can only get a deficiency judgment if he/she chooses to file a suit for judicial foreclosure instead of just foreclosing on real property.Some states allow a deficiency action after foreclosure on the mortgage or deed of trust. The right to a deficiency judgment is often written into a lease or installment contract on a vehicle. There is a danger that the sale of a repossessed vehicle will be at a wholesale price or to a friend at a sheriff’s sale or auction, leaving the debtor holding the bag for the difference between the sale price and remainder due on the lease or contract.

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Deficiency+Judgment

A simple explanation of the deficiency rights is the right of the bank/loan party to go after the home owner for the rest of the loan that was unpaid. Many times the deficiency rights can be waived so that the short sale seller does not have to eventually pay back whatever was not paid from the short sale purchase.

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!
