Why The Tucson Short Sale Team Far Exceeds The Competition

May 15, 2013

Hello everyone Shawn Polston here with Tucson Short Sales and 520 Short Sales thank you for your time today. I work with Keller Williams Realty in the Tucson area and use this blog to help share my experiences in the distressed property real estate market. If you have seen the value of your home greatly diminished or are having trouble making your mortgage payment and need to sell fast please visit my website or call me today to learn about your options.

In my blog today I wanted to talk a little bit about myself and the team of real estate experts we have on staff to assist you. Getting short sales closed is something that is near and dear to my heart and for this reason our real estate team at Tucson Short Sales is not like many in this area. While we do handle a fair number of traditional real estate transactions we also handle a large number of short sale transactions. The first short sale I was a part of was back in 2003 and I have been learning from each and every sale since that day. Since 2006 my team and I have helped hundreds and hundreds of homeowners with all kinds of hardships sell their property and avoid foreclosure. Over the last seven years our team has had an over ninety percent success rate when it comes it getting short sales closed. The average agent in the country only closes thirty to forty percent of their short sales and we are very proud to far exceed our peers. Even if you just have questions about your mortgage please give me a call to chat about your situation with no cost to you at all.

My wife and I run this team together and we would love the opportunity to help you get out of your difficult real estate situation. On my website you can fill out a contact form or you can give me a call today to get started on your next short sale.

Tucson Short Sale Specialist Discusses how to Buy a Short Sale

March 18, 2013

Hi there, I’m Shawn Polston with TucsonShortSale.com and Keller Williams Southern Arizona. I wanted to talk to you today about the flip side or the buyer’s side of a short sale. It’s not uncommon; we actually have buyers come to us because we have the knowledge of the listing side of a short sale. They are usually curious about how to buy a short sale. One of the biggest things about buying a short sale is the knowledge the listing agent has and there is also the knowledge the buyer’s agent has. If you have a buyer’s agent that doesn’t really understand these transactions at a decent level, the odds of you successfully purchasing a short sale go way down because they aren’t going to understand all the nuances that go along with these transactions. They are also not going to understand the timeframes. A typical short sale, if you’re lucky you are going to close in 60 days. Most likely it’s 90 to 120 days, and in some cases it’s actually more when the buyer’s agent gets updates from the listing agent.

One of the biggest things about buying a short sale is the house. Are you ready to commit to this house and stick it out? The other part of your buyer’s agent knowledge is when they receive updates from the listing agent which by the way should be once a week or less. With an agent like me, when I’m handling a buyer on a short sale and the listing agent is telling me something that doesn’t add up, especially when the lender gets involved, I’m quick at figuring that out and letting the buyer know about it and tell them maybe we need to look at another property. It’s very important to have someone exclusively representing you in the purchase of a home. One of our first steps with our buyer’s plans is we sit down and talk about the different transactions and time frames involved. If you are looking to buy a house and you are wondering how to buy a short sale, fill out our short sale request form and we’ll get back to you. I have a team of professionals on my staff and that’s all they do is helping buyers out and helping buyers find the right house. We can provide you the best level of service out there. Thanks and I hope you are having a great day.

Are You Having Problems With Your Current GMAC Short Sale?

August 28, 2012

Hello everyone my name is Shawn Polston with Tucson Short Sales and 520 Short Sales thank you for joining me today. I work with Keller Williams Realty in Tucson and use this blog to keep distressed property owners up to date on all of their options for avoiding foreclosure. If your Tucson mortgage is underwater and you are struggling to pay your mortgage each month please browse my website or call me today to learn more about all of your real estate options.

For my blog today I wanted to speak with Tucson homeowners who have a mortgage through GMAC about their opportunity to complete a short sale. GMAC can be a very unique lender to work with in regards to their short sale process but this is often a good thing for the homeowner. All it takes to start a short sale with GMAC is a listing agreement and a letter of authorization from the homeowner and this will save us a lot of time. If you are having trouble with your current GMAC short sale you should probably be aware that they are in the process of bankruptcy. While it sounds like they will be able to pull through this it is certainly going to effect their staffing and their focus on getting your short sale approved. For this reason it is important to get your short sale file started as soon as possible in order to avoid this problem in the future. The last thing we want to do is make the buyer on your property wait three or four months for a decision from your lender which is why we need to start your file today.

If you have questions about your GMAC mortgage or the short sale process please fill out a contact form on my website or call my office directly to get in touch and start the process of getting rid of your mortgage debt. I hope your having a great day and I look forward to hearing from you in the future.
