07/ 2013 Update…. Real Estate Industry Notice: Are You Calling Yourself a “Short Sale Expert?” Recently I had the pleasure of interviewing a leading short sale attorney who is warning the real estate industry about the potential legal liability of using the words, ” Distressed Property”, “Real Estate”, “Short Sale Expert”. Specifically, the use of the word ‘expert’ has potential legal implications that most agents don’t come close to meeting. He warns that E&O insurance companies could drop brokers who allow agents to use the word ‘Expert’ in their marketing.

Question: How long until housing is back to normal? More specifically, when will all the underwater owners (and foreclosures) be behind us? Answer: Years, let me explain. There are still millions of owners — nearly 14 million, according to Zillow — who have negative equity. (Adding in those owners who are near underwater the number explodes to 20,000,000) Most underwater owners fall into 3 categories. They purchased near the peak of the real estate bubble from late 2005 through 2006 — or used mortgages that required little or no down payment to buy bigger houses than they could afford.

Will the Mortgage Debt Relief Act be extended again? Simple answer, Absolutely. I know of NO ONE who doesn’t want the Act extended. I was told by a very high level wired in D.C. real estate industry insider that President Obama, the House and the Senate are ALL behind extending the 2007 Mortgage Debt Relief Act. WORST case the Act isn’t extended by the end of the year…then what happens? I would suggest that if for some reason the politicians can’t get avoid the ‘Fiscal Cliff’ and the Act were to expire once an agreement was finalized (and the extension […] Click Here To View More

Home values have now returned to where they were in….2003. Not such a big loss is it…10 years of home appreciation? (joking) The question now is how long will it take for homes to be worth what they were in 2006-2007? The unfortunate answer is expect the re-inflation to take at least another 10 years from now or 2022. (for most of the country). The only thing that would allow the re-inflation to happen faster would be some sort of massive 1970s era hyper inflation. Urgent Short Sale Notice: Must attend Short Sale industry update.
