Beware of Foreclosure Rescue Scams - Help Is Free!

Melinda Morgan

Monday, April 5th, 2010 at 1:54pm. 71 Views, 0 Comments.

• There is never a fee to get assistance or information about Making Home Affordable from your lender or a HUD-approved housing counselor.
• Beware of any person or organization that asks you to pay a fee in exchange for housing counseling services or modification of a delinquent loan. Do not pay - walk away!
• Beware of anyone who says they can “save” your home if you sign or transfer over the deed to your house. Do not sign over the deed to your property to any organization or individual unless you are working directly with your mortgage company to forgive your debt.
• Never submit your mortgage payments to anyone other than your mortgage company without their approval.

The Obama Administration has launched a coordinated effort across federal and state government…

Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) Program

Melinda Morgan

Monday, April 5th, 2010 at 1:53pm. 79 Views, 0 Comments.

Many homeowners may feel that they can no longer afford their home, but want to avoid the negative effects of foreclosure. The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) Program offers homeowners, their mortgage servicers, and investors an incentive for completing a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. With these options, under HAFA, a homeowner leaves their home to transition to more affordable housing and alleviate the mortgage debt they owe. These options are available for homeowners who: 1. do not qualify for a trial mortgage modification under the Making Home Affordable Program; 2. do not successfully complete the trial period for their modification; 3. miss at least two consecutive payments during their modification period; or 4. request a…

Simple Tips for Better Home Showings

Melinda Morgan

Thursday, March 18th, 2010 at 10:14pm. 99 Views, 0 Comments.

1. Remove clutter and clear off counters. Throw out stacks of newspapers and magazines and stow away most of your small decorative items. Put excess furniture in storage, and remove out-of-season clothing items that are cramping closet space. Don’t forget to clean out the garage, too.

2. Wash your windows and screens. This will help get more light into the interior of the home.

3. Keep everything extra clean. A clean house will make a strong first impression and send a message to buyers that the home has been well-cared for. Wash fingerprints from light switch plates, mop and wax floors, and clean the stove and refrigerator. Polish your doorknobs and address numbers. It’s worth hiring a cleaning service if you can afford it.

4. Get rid of smells. Clean…

Difference Between a Short Sale and Foreclosure

Melinda Morgan

Friday, July 31st, 2009 at 3:53pm. 169 Views, 0 Comments.

If you are wondering what the difference is between Short Sale and Bank Owned, it is this:

A Short Sale means that the bank has to take a Short- in other words, cannot get back all the money it lent to the seller, because the house is worth less than the seller owes. There are lots of Short Sales going on right now because banks were not very careful in their lending practices and appraisals- so they lent out way more money than many houses were worth. Now they have to take a loss. Sometimes the house really was worth more, sometimes it wasn't. Just because it is a Short Sale, doesn't necessarily mean you are going to get a good deal. You have to know the market and know what the comps are to be sure. That's why having a good Realtor helping you is so…

June 2009 Portland -Metro Market Action Report

Portland-Metro Market Action Report June 2009

 

According to the most recent RMLS Market action report, the region's median home price has leveled off this summer and hovered in June around $250,000, down 17 percent from its peak. The inventory of unsold homes -- the key measure of supply and demand -- improved more than usual in June. Thanks to an uptick from record-low sales this winter, the inventory dropped from 19 months in January to eight months in June.

 

One doesn’t have to be a Realtor to know that home sales are cyclical. Winter is a slower season and summer being the hottest.  During that cycle, the number of homes listed typically expands steadily from January to July. In 2008, listings grew from January to June by 28 percent. In 2007, it was…

Smooth Move -7 tips to help your kids adjust to a move

Melinda Morgan

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 at 5:19pm. 210 Views, 0 Comments.

Allow your child(ren) to help with packing. By allowing your child to pack at least one box, it gives them a sense of control as well as helps mentally prepare them for the move. This can be from their own room and perhaps a combination of their favorite things that they can’t live without. The box shouldn’t be too large. Some kids assume when they move all their cherished belongings stay with the old house. Assure them you will make sure everything else gets packed up and moved as well.

Talk about the new place. Once you know where you’re moving to, start talking about it with the kids. Don’t make anything a mystery and this isn’t the time to “surprise” them. Give them all the details. Show them pictures if you have them. Talk about their room and the…
