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

dottieEach month we love to feature one of our talented Jacksonville realtors and for August we’d like to introduce you to Dottie Lay! Dottie is a very special lady to me and to everyone in the office, so I thought what better way to highlight her than to ask her co-workers what makes Dottie so great and here is what they said:

“Dottie is a team player!  She’s always available to share her experience and to lend solid advice to other agents. She has cultivated a long list of referral business from her dedication to her buyers and sellers.  A true professional. I aspire to be Dottie one day!”

“As a new agent with Davidson she was always ready to answer my question in spite of the amount of business she was doing.  She made herself available & I thank her for that as well as the kind words and support she is known for.  Truly successful people share their talents…that is Dottie.”

“Dottie is very professional. She is competent and people trust her. She works very hard for her customers.”

“When I was a new agent, Dottie ALWAYS found time to pick up her phone if I called for advice.  She is a true role model in our company.  She is very hard working and dedicated and never has a negative word to say about anyone.  A true professional and a dear person.” 

“Dottie is a real pro!!!  She is organized, precise and has complete knowledge of the business.  She builds great relationships with her customers and has an incredible referral base.  She’s tops when it comes to being a superior Realtor.” Read more
