Are you curious to know if you should do the “whole she-bang” on a kitchen re-do?  We discuss the options from complete do-over and minor “spiff ups” that might make the biggest difference in the value of your home.

What is a short sale?  How does it work?  The process of deciding that you need to use a short sale to sell your home isn’t an easy decision.  The benefits and potential pit falls of buying a home that is a short sale are things that a home buyer needs to consider.  We share some explanations and offer a road map to getting started as a home seller in a short sale or a home buyer buying a short sale.

Wondering if a Short Sale is right for your Western MA home?

I met today with a homeowner who was referred to me by a Western MA real estate attorney to discuss his home sale options.

It seems that it is very likely that a short sale will be needed to facilitate the sale of this property, but he was nervous and not sure what a short sale would mean to him down the line or how to accomplish a short sale on his Western MA home.

We sat for about an hour discussing his needs, options and I counseled him on how a short sale works and what he could reasonably expect to encounter while working through the short sale process.

This counseling session is available to anyone in Western Massachusetts who needs information and guidance on the details of a short sale. I am happy to take this time, free of charge, to assist homeowners in Hampden, Berkshire and Hampshire Counties.

Please contact me if you are a home owner who thinks they need some short sale guidance…I am here to help.

Selling a Condominium? Buying a Condo? Read this First…

If you are considering selling your Western MA condominium or buying a condo in Western Massachusetts, you need to read this post.

Condo living can be great. I live in a condo and I love it…it feels like going home to a resort and all the exterior work is done. For many people, they hit a point in their life where the condominium lifestyle is perfect for them, BUT…

They can’t get financing.

Did you know that in 2010 almost 40% of mortgages issued were through FHA? Did you know that a condominium complex has to be approved by HUD and FHA before you can use an FHA loan to purchase the condominium? Did you know that most Western Massachusetts condominiums are not on the approved list?

If you are a condominium owner who is considering a sale, that means that you might be missing out on 40% of the potential buyers!

If you are a buyer who would consider a condominium, but you are going with an FHA mortgage, that means many complexes are not available to you.

UNLESS…

You work with a team that knows how to obtain the approval needed.

If you are considering buying or selling a condominium in Western MA, please give me a call or email me. We can discuss the options and work to get the condominium on the FHA approved list.
