Have you seen the new ceramic tile flooring that looks like planks of hardwood?  Two of my neighbors recently installed it in their homes and I’m having major bouts of floor envy!    You bet I will be asking Richard of About Floors N’ More all about it at the next Davidson Speaker Series.  We hope you’ll join us too on Thursday, October 28th at 7:00 pm as Richard Scherzer from About Floors N’ More presents “Updating Your House” as part of our ongoing Davidson Speaker Series.

He can also answer  burning questions like Which type of flooring will best stand the test of time?, What tile trends are hot for bathrooms?, Which kitchen counter surface is most resilient? and What new trends should I jump on before my neighbors?. 

The Davidson Speaker Series is a monthly event held at the Davidson Realty office at World Golf Village. It is free to the public.

SHORT SALE SUCCESS: A TRUE STORY

September 27, 2010

Posted by in Distressed Properties, Short Sales

A homeowner facing a huge increase in her mortgage payment.

Short sold a home in World Golf Village.

Never missed a mortgage payment.

Process took about 30 days.

Seller bought a new, more affordable home just 6 months later.

No tall tale here. This is a true story of how a well-executed short sale can have a happy ending. Della Myers, a Real Estate Agent herself, saw the writing on the wall. Her 2004 purchase of a World Golf Village home was at the height of the market. The lender assured her that she could simply refinance (buoyed by all the equity she would gain from the robust market) before her low monthly “teaser” rate adjusted dramatically higher.

But the market changed. Della tried to get out in front of things. She knew her rate adjustment was coming and she would not be able to afford it. She put her home on the market but to no avail. She lowered the price and re-listed it. Again no bites. She couldn’t refinance because her home’s value was plummeting and would eventually end up appraised for about 50% less than she paid. Della knew a Short Sale, when the lender/bank agrees to take less for the home than the original loan value in order to avoid foreclosure, was her only hope. Read more
