Through her new DVD system, Photos That Sell Real Estate: Fabulous Photos in Under An Hour, long time professional real estate photographer, Linda Cotter, aims to provide home sellers with the tools they need to increase profits and decrease the amount of time a home sits on the market.

“This economy has really hit the home selling market. Rather than continue to sit stunned in uncertainty, these tools will give home sellers a motivated fresh edge. They will feel a renewed sense of confidence in themselves and their work. And, home buyers will see an immediate difference in property listings as more enticing photographs increase appeal and desire,” Linda explains.

Considering that so many homeowners are choosing to try to sell their homes themselves rather than use a real estate agent, Linda created the system to appeal to both real estate agents and homeowners alike. With easy to follow, step-by-step instructions, and industry photography secrets and tips, sellers will notice an improvement in their photography skills right away.

Fabulous Photos in Under an Hour is the first installment in the series. It includes a professionally filmed 45-minute DVD, the Fabulous Photos Companion Study Guide, De-Clutter and Room by Room Checklist.  This system teaches real estate agents and homeowners to take fabulous photos in under an hour.

Home For Sale Has public Open House In Pawling NY is a post from: PRUnderground

According to Business Week, over four percent of homes in Arizona were lost to foreclosure last year. The Wall Street Journal recently discussed the vacant home issue in direct relation to foreclosures and the U.S. economy. Arizona Daily Foreclosures, LLC. initiated the website, ArizonaDailyForeclosures.com, with the intent to provide quick, secure, simple, and updated information on properties within the state.

The website offers buyers and investors three easy steps to obtain a property listed on the site. First, the buyer or investor selects a property on the website and must call the office to ensure the property is still available. Next, the buyer or investor must decide on a cash purchase or financing, then complete and fax back Purchase Agreement or Loan Agreement. The third step involves direction. Specific instructions will be provided, via email, to deposit/wire closing funds or down payment for loan. It is as simple as one, two, and three!

The reputable company decided to meet the needs of consumers with ArizonaDailyForeclosures.com. Investors, flippers, buyers will benefit from the sites daily, sometimes hourly, listings offered at wholesale prices.

Foreclosure properties offer a challenge to prospective buyers and investors. The perception usually associated with foreclosure properties is that they are hard to obtain and their actual conditions can be exaggerated. With Arizona Daily Foreclosures, LLC, buyers can be assured all property listings are lucrative deals backed by an eye witness report on the condition and occupancy of the property.

The company also offers an updated weekly blog discussing the trends within the foreclosure market, with specification in relation to the state of Arizona. Although the pricing varies from property to property, some listings on the website have been priced at less than seventeen thousand dollars.

The site is a hallmark to the Arizona foreclosure market. An easy to use search engine allows users to define price ranges, bedroom preferences, and even city specifications. The comprehensive website truly is an innovative, yet simple, answer to an every growing demand in the real-estate industry.

KB Property Group, LLC Is Using Web 2.0 Focused Efforts To Sell Homes! is a post from: PRUnderground

Southern California based real estate firm committed to One Less Foreclosure program

Long Beach, Ca. – With almost 500,000 California properties approaching foreclosure, according to ForeclosureRadar, most troubled homeowners are unaware of the option to short sale their distressed properties with assistance from the federal Treasury Department’s Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternative (HAFA) Program. Offering financial incentives to both the borrower and the mortgage lender, HAFA was established to help families avoid foreclosure.

In a new, e-book, Should I Short Sale My Home? A Homeowners Guide How to Survive the Worst Real Estate Market in History, authors Mark Shandrow, CEO of Shandrow Group and Tim and Julie Harris of Harris Real Estate University, provide current Short Sale and HAFA guidelines to help homeowners understand their options in simple language. The book is available for download at: www.markshandrow.com/free-book

“Missing mortgage payments, or anticipating missing them is stressful and hard to face, but reaching out to talk to a professional while there’s still adequate time to develop a plan of action is key to preventing a foreclosure, and in some cases, avoiding damage to the family’s credit scores,” says Shandrow, whose real estate brokerage firm services Los Angeles and Orange Counties.

A qualified short sale real estate agent can be invaluable to navigating a short sale transaction, which often involves completing intensive paperwork, meeting deadlines, and negotiating the terms with the lender in a direct, proactive manner. But Shandrow Group’s relationships with many of the top U.S. banks and real estate companies through its bank-owned properties (REO’s) business is one of the firm’s most powerful tools for brokering successful short sales on behalf of its clients.

One example, PMH Financial, LLC, a financial services company from Denver, enables Shandrow Group to better help clients expedite short sales.  Like Shandrow Group, PMH Financial has strong relationships within the banking industry and direct access to lenders’ key decision-makers.

The melding of Shandrow Group on the local level and a partner like PMH on the national level assures the highest success rate and the most professional service for their clients.

“The Shandrow Group’s proactive and full-service approach shows that if the right representatives are at the table discussing their needs and options, we can facilitate a short sale transaction and avoid a foreclosure,” says Kristy B. Wray, Vice President of Loss Mitigation at PMH Financial.

Educating property owners about HAFA and short sales is central to Shandrow Group’s One Less Foreclosure philosophy aimed at helping homeowners explore alternatives to foreclosures. “While foreclosures are sometimes a reality, they have devastating, long-term effects to the individual, the community, and the market, driving real estate prices down,” says Shandrow. “One less foreclosure means one less homeless family, one less vacant home in the neighborhood and one less problem for our economy.”

“As a Short Sale Specialist, I help families in the Long Beach area navigate their underwater mortgages and find suitable solutions to their loan issues. In some situations it’s too late to do anything, but wait for the bank to take their home. But when a client comes to me early enough in the process, we can usually find an alternative that doesn’t leave them out in the cold.”

Home Owners Facing Foreclosure Can Access Free Book is a post from: PRUnderground

With bank owned real estate becoming an unnerving standard in the US economy, many investors have responded by trying to capitalize on obvious potential, but unfortunately running into unexpected obstacles either from a lack of real estate market knowledge or perhaps from being misinformed by the hundreds of questionable infomercials promising millions to new investors. Mark Bradley, professional commercial and residential real estate investor, begins his new ‘buy bulk REO properties’ campaign describing what events lead up to his discovery of the profit potential in bulk REO real estate, and how he can help other investors easily find significant profit in bulk REO properties themselves.

According to Realty track, the figures below describe the current real estate market:

• 1 in every 399 housing units went into foreclosure May 2010
• 322,920 new foreclosures filed.
• California, 72,030 foreclosures.
• 2,075,563 Foreclosed Homes Nationwide.
• 44,623 foreclosure sales may 2010

These figures indicate that, on average, 278,297 bank owned properties currently remain unsold, and over 300,000 new listings will be added to the bank inventory of REO properties each month. Bradley, a commercial and residential real estate investor, comments that on his company website, he has posted videos describing his experience of being introduced to the market, and how he has finally found a way investors can take advantage of the back log of bank owned REO properties.

To uplift the economy, banks must rid of the excess unpaid mortgages from foreclosures quickly, and have resorted to market-bottom prices, which ideally promise opportunity to real estate investors. The problem investors commonly ran into was an unresponsive market unwilling to purchase the REO properties the investors sunk time and money into.

Bradley explains that four years ago, due to mounting tax pressure and suffering from burn out after divesting many real estate properties, running multiple companies, managing 20 to 30 employees within each company, and finding no time for his four children, he chose to downsize from the corporate world to a home office after seeing many TV and Internet ads promising fortunes to those who invested in short sales and foreclosures. As a current real estate professional, he thought that the real estate market decline potentially meant profit and more time with his high school-aged children.

Bradley, like many in his shoes said, “If they can make a million dollars with foreclosures I can too!”

With college tuitions looming, and a college fund already depleted to the point where money needed to be acquired immediately, Bradley invested in dozens of short sale books, foreclosure courses, and attended expensive seminars from the most popular foreclosure gurus. Two months into consuming all of the informational resources Bradley found available, the market faced the worst downturn.

Bradley started with a few investment deals buying REO properties. “Buying short sales and foreclosures was a lot of work. Emphasize lots!” says Bradley.

On top of the work required, Bradley opposed capitalizing on homeowners experiencing distress and devastation. Even though real estate investors were providing assistance when buying REO real estate, being under financial strain with his own children’s tuitions, Bradley sympathized with the fear and frustrations these homeowners experienced. Bradley found himself befriending homeowners and becoming a counselor figure. Unfortunately, he found that counselors didn’t get the property deals.

After experiencing the same frustration that many new investors do trying to find the best deals, Bradley grew wary of investing in another property should the market drop another 20%, and he found hesitation in the government’s actions in mortgage intervention. He feared that President Obama would outlaw mortgage interest deduction for homeowners. Suddenly Bradley faced three college tuition deadlines. He had to do something quickly, and he still believed that investing in bank owned real estate had the financial potential he imagined from the beginning.

After already having spent tens of thousands of dollars on short sale seminars, courses, and book, Bradley faced financial despair. The short sale guru’s had failed to mention that the millions promised to him “could take up to one year of more to do just one short sale deal and that’s if the planet’s are inline,” says Bradley.

Bradley took an entire new approach instead of focusing on time consuming short sale deals.

In the next press release, Bradley describes how he broke down the time consuming short sale business into a 5 steps. If you fail to complete any of these 5 steps it is impossible to make any money in short sales.

The Real Estate Disaster Continues to Plague US Real Estate Investors is a post from: PRUnderground

The SASH Program was founded in 2005 by Rebecca Bomann, a real estate professional with a background in social work, after helping her own Grandfather to sell his home. Ms. Bomann thought there should be a less stressful and more dignified way for seniors to sell their homes, and so she started SASH.

“My grandfather was an incredible man, but his final home sale was a nightmare and this shouldn’t have been so,” stated Rebecca Bomann, Founder and CEO of The SASH Program. “Seniors deserve a better alternative; one with dignity and respect and for their unique needs. Each time we have the opportunity to serve a senior homeowner, it is an honor to us. We have the privilege to make a difference in the life of a senior, and to make their home sale an easy one instead of a stressful one.”

Over the past 5 years, The SASH Program senior home sale service has purchased properties that otherwise were scheduled to be bulldozed, and restored them to beautiful condition. SASH has bought new constructions, condominiums, huge six-bedroom estates, and tiny one-bedroom homes from seniors located both in the city and out in the country. The shortest closing was 10 days and the longest 14 months, with every transaction time line based entirely on the seniors’ specific moving plans.

“From the very first SASH client, we’ve tailored each home purchase around the senior homeowners’ specific needs,” Ms. Bomann went on to say. “We have transacted over 40 custom-designed home sales, and plan to provide hundreds more in the next few years.”

Seniors and their families interested in learning more about The SASH Programs’ private, custom-designed senior home sale service can visit www.sashprogram.com, or call 888-400-SASH for more information.
