Active Duty Military May Qualify For Compromise Sale And Relocation Incentive

April 1, 2013

Hello everyone Shawn Polston here with TucsonShortSale.com and 520 Short Sales thank you for your time today. I work with Keller Williams in Southern Arizona and use my blog to share my experiences with distressed property owners who are looking to avoid foreclosure. If you can no longer afford your mortgage or just need to sell your home fast please fill out a contact form on my website or call my office today to chat with an expert about your options.

For my blog today I wanted to talk with any military members that have a VA loan about their specific short sale process. I have a lot of experience getting short sale approvals for active duty military members but the short sale process can be very different with the VA. The VA actually refers to their short sales as a compromise sale and they generally go very smoothly for active duty members who have been relocated. Even if payments are current you will likely be able to complete a compromise sale if your mortgage is underwater and you have an acceptable hardship. The VA will do a full appraisal of the property and will certainly expect us to get an offer near the market value that they come up with. One of the nice things about the VA program is the fifteen hundred dollar relocation incentive available at closing. This is literally free money but your agent must ask for the incentive or it will not be granted. If you are received your papers for relocation and need to sell fast please contact me today to get your VA compromise sale started.

I have worked on numerous VA compromise sales and can focus on selling your property while you prepare to move. Call my office today or fill out a contact form on my website if you have any questions about whether or not you will qualify for this great program. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Tucson Short Sale Specialist Discusses a Seterus Short Sale

March 28, 2013

Hi there, I’m Shawn Polston with TucsonShortSale.com in southern Arizona. I wanted to talk to you about Seterus short sales. Once upon a time with Seterus, you may have had a loan with a company called LBPS and then all of a sudden your loan became a Seterus loan. I wanted to get it out there that we are very familiar with Seterus. We’ve done a lot of transactions with Seterus. We know how to navigate their systems and processes. I have actually had an executive from Seterus call me once and tell me how much they liked working with my team. I was actually surprised and didn’t know what to say. It was a very nice complement to receive. I’d like to let you know that I am here to help you and if you have a Seterus loan, it’s very important to get somebody that has experience in dealing with Seterus. They are very easy to work with if you work with them the way they want to be worked with. We understand how to process things with them and how to get results with them. So if you have a Seterus loan, please feel free to fill out my short sale request form. Please feel free to give us a call, we’d love to you about your situation. Thanks and have a great day.

How Exactly Does A Short Sale Agent Get Paid?

March 21, 2013

Hello every Shawn Polston here with TucsonShortSale.com and Keller Williams Southern Arizona wanting to talk with you today about short sales. I use my blog to keep distressed property owners informed on their options for avoiding foreclosure including the possibility of a short sale. If your mortgage is underwater and you are struggling to make your monthly payments please visit my website or call me directly to chat with an expert. If you have already missed a payment please don’t hesitant to contact me in order to protect you from any future damage.

Today I wanted to talk with homeowners about a question that I get asked frequently by my clients. Given that I always tell my clients they will never pay any out of pocket fees for my service they are usually curious as to how I get paid. While some short sale agents will charge up front fees my commission is taking at closing from the selling price of the home. Any additional escrow or other possible fees are also deducted at this point in order to keep money in your pocket after a short sale is complete. I closed my first short sale in 2003 and have never charged anyone in distress a single upfront fee for my service. Our team is results based and if we cannot accomplish that goal we do not deserve to be paid in my opinion. This is nothing against Southern Arizona agents who charge upfront fees but I am here to help homeowners in need and this is one way of doing just that. Even if you just have some questions about your mortgage or your lender I am more than happy to share my experience and knowledge to help provide you peace of mind.

If you are facing foreclosure or simply need to sell your home please contact me right away to discuss your options. Make sure to stop by my website and try our Short Sale Calculator to find out when your home may be worth what you owe. Thanks for your time and I look forward to helping you in the future with your real estate needs.
