    Andy’s Foreclosure Interview Reunites a Family After Years & Years!

    Andy’s Foreclosure Interview Reunites a Family After Years & Years!

    Wow, this is a story you probably don’t hear every day. Yesterday I was contacted by email by someone stating she was a relative of someone I had interviewed about losing her Seminole County home to foreclosure. Through some back searching I found the article she was referring to, and it wasn’t me that had interviewed the lady, I just happened to be interviewed in the same article. I never met her relative. In several emails back and forth though, I explained that I had never met her, but did a quick Google search and sent her a link with some local contact info including an email address and place of employment (all public records here… not disclosing any secret info!).

    Well, today I just got this email:

    Andy
    You have just been used by God to help two sisters fine each other and to discover that there are two more sisters My daughter and her sister are so happy right now it is unbelievable. They are both Managers and have two children thanks thanks and more thanks
    My The Lord bless your life and family
    Pastor Nissi

    Isn’t that unbelievable?

    Out of the tragedy of losing her home, a single mom and her 2 kids are now reunited with their family because of the story that was written about her.

    And I had the honor of bringing them all back together.

    Wow.

    That’s all I can say right now. Wow.

    Don’t let it get this far… if you or a family member is having a problem paying their mortgage… call me right away! You do have options but the longer you wait the fewer options you’ll have.

    1st Quarter Foreclosure & Short Sale Statistics in Seminole County Florida

    General Info, Short Sales, Statistics, Success Stories No Comments

    In the first quarter of 2010 (January - March) there was a total of 1,210 sales in Seminole County Florida.  Of these,

    23% were Short Sales (a short sale is when the seller owes more to the bank than what it’s worth and the bank lets them sell it anyway)

    37% were REO which stands for Real Estate Owned (means the bank has already taken the home as a foreclosure and is now trying to sell it)

    39% were “Regular” Sales, meaning neither a Short Sale or an REO

    If you are thinking of buying or selling a home that potentially is a Short Sale or an REO, make sure your Realtor is experienced in these tricky transactions.

    If you need more info on the possibility of selling YOUR home as a short sale, please visit http://www.BeforeYouShortSale.com

    Would you like to buy a $212,000 house for $150k?

    Success Stories No Comments

    That’s exactly what my clients Tricia & Jim just did!  They are newlyweds and wanted to get out of the apartment complex they were in.  When things broke, the manager would never fix them, so Jim figured if he was fixing things anyway, it might as well be on his OWN house!

    I was able to help them find a beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath in a great neighborhood in Longwood.  It has a big 2-car garage, a family room, a living room, a formal dining room AND the kitchen had already been remodeled! It was bank owned and it needed a little bit of cosmetic work like some paint, carpet, and the shower redone, but overall it passed the home inspection and termite inspection with flying colors!  In the end, they should have well over $50,000 in equity!  And we even got the Seller (the bank) to pay $6,000 of their closing costs for them!

    Would you like me to help YOU find a house like that in Seminole County?  I specialize in finding your next home at great discount prices.  My background in the Foreclosure industry for almost 10 years has given me great insight into how the banks think and that lets me find the best deals.

    Call me today to schedule a consultation over the phone.  It will cost you nothing but could make you thousands when you buy a home (just ask Tricia and Jim and their $50,000 +++ equity!  They could actually re-sell that house right now and make money…but I don’t think they’re going to!)
