Great News for Fresno Home Owners Considering a Short Sale in 2013!
2013 Fresno Short Sale News
Fresno Short Sale News!
Finally some much needed good news for Fresno and Clovis home owners who have been considering or who have been in the midst of a short sale. According to the National Association of Realtors, “Late last night, Congress reached a settlement in the “fiscal cliff” negotiations. As a result, the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act has been extended for another year. The measure will continue to exempt from taxation mortgage debt that is forgiven when homeowners and their mortgage lenders negotiate a short sale, loan modification (including any principal reduction) or foreclosure.”
Quick steps to get started on the Short Sale Process
1. The next step for Fresno home owners is to contact their attorney as well as their tax adviser to get the information they need to proceed with a short sale. They will help you determine if a Short Sale is a right for you and your family.
2. Contact a qualified and experienced Fresno Short Sale Agent. Although we would love the opportunity to help you (Shameless plug 
) make sure you find an agent who knows what they are doing.
3. Once you have found the right people to help… GET THAT HOME LISTED ASAP! The Fresno and Clovis market is in serious need of good homes like yours. Get an idea of what your home is worth and set an appointment with a Realtor.
Politics aside, this news makes me happy for the families that I personally know and have met with who are struggling and looking for needed help. If you are a Fresno or Clovis home owner considering a short sale, we would love to meet / talk to you. No hassle, no pressure, just give you the information you need to make the best decision for you.
Have a great 2013!

Your Fresno Home Underwater?
Your Short Sale hardship for your Fresno Ca Short Sale is your underwater house! There has been much confusion over the past few months about the facts relating to short sales. Most homeowners are still unaware of what it means to short sale their Fresno home, as well as what requirements are related to being able to sell. This is no fault of the homeowner, it seems like the rules and laws change every other week. So what’s the deal?
Fresno Short Sale Help
What seems to matter most to the majority of banks these days is not the severity of the hardship but instead the current fair market value of the home versus the amount owned by the home owner. Standard, or usual, hardships in the past have been… Unemployment, Divorce, Medical emergency / sudden illness, Bankruptcy and Death. Although these remain to be the standard, hardships for a short sale are changing with the culture.
So what is a hardship for a Fresno Short Sale?
Banks are adding to the above list of “acceptable” hardships. Two such are under-employment (employed and working but not making enough) and now, owing more then your house is worth. Now, a lot of American’s owe more then their home is worth – this doesn’t mean that it is always a sure fire hardship but banks are looking more closely at the issue and are more willing to work with homeowners. It is important for you to get all of the facts and information you need to pursue a Short Sale on your Fresno Home. Each homeowner’s situation is unique and each bank/lender will approach a hardship differently.

Short sales make up a big part of Fresno’s current real estate market, and still many Clovis North home owners are unaware of their options.

How To List and Sell Your Fresno Ca Home
Keys to Listing Your Fresno Ca Home
Fresno Listing Help
Recently I wrote an article called, Now is the Perfect Time to Sell Your Fresno Home! I got quite a few people contact me and ask, “is it really a good time to sell?” Unfortunately the answer to this is not as easy and “yes” or “no.” For a realistic Fresno Ca home seller it is a great time to sell. For an unrealistic seller, it can be a nightmare. The most important question to ask and answer is, “How mush is my Fresno Ca home worth?” Notice what I didn’t say… “what do I think my home is worth?” or “my home used to be worth X.” if you are serious about selling your Fresno Ca home you will have to come to grips with the reality of your Fresno home’s value.
Many Fresno Realtors have experienced low appraisals in this depressed market. It is very important for you to get the most accurate Property Estimate of your Fresno Ca home. Without it you will find that some agents will list your home for whatever price you want or feel is appropriate only to find out months later that they have wasted your time with an overvaluation and/or a buyer who wants to only pay you at the appraised value (which makes sense when you think about it). Once you are armed with a value, you will need to find the right people to help list and sell your Fresno Ca home. Once you have the right people in place you are ready to list and sell!

Find the Right Listing Agent in Fresno to Sell Your Home
Finding the Right Listing Agent in Fresno is more important then ever… Read why!
Get More, sell fast!
List and sell your Fresno home today! Time is of the essence in today’s competitive buyer’s market. Finding the right listing agent in Fresno may be a more challenging task then in years past. It is not enough for Fresno home owners to simply put a sign up in the yard and wait for buyer’s. This is especially true for Fresno home owners considering the FSBO route. With 90% of all home buyer’s starting their search online, it makes having a great Realtor who knows internet marketing and how to use it that much more valuable an asset.
With inventory currently at a 5 year low, you need to decide if Now is the Best Time to Sell your Fresno home. Without giving away too many of our secrets, the following 3 things are what we do best and why we think you should consider Fresno Real Estate for your next move.
The 3 P’s of Listing Your Fresno Home
1. PRICE: Price matters! Home seller’s hate to hear this but it is true! Price your Fresno home too low and you lose the value… Price it too high and you lose the buyers. Over-valuing your home by $10-20k can spell doom for selling your Fresno home. A properly priced home will many times provide multiple offers/buyers ready to compete to buy your home. Which is exactly what you want to happen!
2. PRESENTATION: The old saying is true, “you never get another chance to make a first impression.” This starts with staging your home to sell so that even the pictures online provide its “best side.” Staging sets your home apart from competing homes on the market. Today’s buyers are looking for “move-in” ready homes and staging is a powerful marketing tool.
3. PROMOTION: Marketing matters! Most all of us Realtors have the same access to all of the same tools. However, not all Realtors know how to use these tools to best market their listings. We take every listing serious and develop a marketing plan specifically for each home. We would love the opportunity to explain more…
