9 Reasons a Great Agent is Vital to a Seller

Selling your home without hiring a real estate agent might be tempting, especially if you're in an area where buyers are clamoring for properties. It's not uncommon for sellers to think (even for a split-second) "How hard can it be to sell on my own?" But there are probably some challenges they're not considering. Here are some key ways a real estate agent – more specifically a licensed Realtor – proves to be indispensable during the selling process.

They offer wide exposure. 
They bring objectivity
They know the market. 
They take care of all showings
They take security seriously
They're prepared to negotiate
They help you avoid legal trouble. 
They're with you to the end – and beyond
They follow a strict Code of Ethics

Short Sale VS Foreclosure what are the differences

March 9, 2015 by

Short Sale VS Foreclosure

So you are considering walking away from your home? You have tried doing a loan modification and got nowhere, or the proposal you received made your payment even higher than before. So you feel that just walking away and leaving the home is your only option now. This may not be the only option left for you. Or even the best thing that you can or should do.

Cindy and I have successfully assisted over 200 families complete successful short sales in our real estate careers. We both hold the Designation of Certified Distressed Property Experts (CDPE) and Short Sale Foreclosure Resource (SFR). You still have options. We know how to negotiate with the banks and we work for you and your family to get a resloution in your favor.

So what is the catch? Sorry to disappoint you but there is not one. You maybe asking What is this going to cost me? There is not Any additional fee for us in assisting you, no upfront fees either. Our compensation is approved by the mortgage holder and is customary in our market area. We do not have anyone else handling the short sale. Cindy and I call the lender and do the negotiating ourselves. If any money is required it would be requested by your mortgage holder and even then Cindy and I would try to negotiate with the bank to remove that or lower it to something that you would be able to agree to.

Walking away is not the only option or even the best option for you. To see some of the issues that can arise from a Foreclosure and why letting us assist you in completing a successful Short Sale would benefit you today and even more so in the future. Please visit www.TampaHomesSold.com/Nick-Cindy-Davis-Blog.aspx if you have any questions you can always call Nick or Cindy Davis at 813-300-7116 or 813-695-6475.
