Las Vegas, NV - March 1, 2012 - (RealEstateRama) -- There are NO attorneys who specialize in short sales; however, there are plenty of attorneys who specialize in taking your money. Homeowners considering short sales are welcome to speak with a lawyer to discuss their options, however, YOU MUST BE CAREFUL. If you use an attorney to negotiate a short sale and they fail to perform, you may wind up being sued by your bank. In the event the bank decides to come after you, then you will need to hire an attorney for a potentially expensive lawsuit. While there are many respectable and ethical attorneys out there, you must educate yourself and not place your unconditional faith in someone who stands to make a handsome profit should you get sued. If the attorney fails to get your short sale approved, you are left vulnerable and may need additional legal protection

The time is limited for homeowners who want to ensure they aren’t hit with a big tax bill because they had to walk away from a mortgage obligation. The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act is set to expire on December 31, 2012.

Las Vegas, NV - November 21, 2011 - (RealEstateRama) -- There was a significant decline in the number of mortgage default notices served on homeowners in the Las Vegas metro area and in Nevada in October, but not because of a sudden recovery in the housing market.

Las Vegas, NV - October 31, 2011 - (RealEstateRama) -- In a city like Las Vegas, there are very few absolutes. Always split aces and eights. Never bet more than you can afford to lose and never wise-off to the bouncer. For Las Vegas homeowners considering a short sale, there is one more absolute: The Myers Team is Nevada’s #1 Short Sale Team.

Las Vegas, NV - October 20, 2011 - (RealEstateRama) -- A short sale transaction is without doubt, the most complicated transaction in residential real estate. Just because a Realtor is experienced, does not mean that he/she is experienced with short sales. Here’s an example which illustrates the importance of hiring the right real estate agent to handle your short sale. If you needed to hire an airplane pilot to fly you across the country, there are literally thousands of licensed and experienced pilots to choose from. Now, let’s take the same example and change the terms. What if the flight was going to be flown over a hostile, enemy country? Would you still want to hire a standard commercial pilot, or would you prefer to fly in an Air Force fighter jet flown by an experienced Top Gun certified pilot armed with the best missles and weapons to d eter an enemy threat?

Las Vegas , NV - October 4, 2011 - (RealEstateRama) -- After closing hundreds of short sale properties in Nevada, the biggest question we get asked from homeowners is, “Do I have a hardship and will I qualify for a short sale?” While each person’s financial situation is unique, the fact remains that practically everyone in Nevada is experiencing hardship to some degree. Let’s face it, our homes have lost more than half their value, and our state leads the nation in foreclosures and mortgage defaults.

Las Vegas, NV - September 1, 2011 - (RealEstateRama) -- Many Nevada homeowners have tried loan modification; however, loan modifications just don’t work. Remember that until you have equity in your house, all you are doing is renting. That’s correct! You are renting from the bank! There is no reason to pay off $300,000 in debt when the home you bought is now worth $150,000 or less. Most experts predict that it will take 10-20 years or more for the Las Vegas housing market to rebound. It makes rational sense to walk away and get a fresh start. Surrendering a home worth half of what you owe is not a failure, it’s a business decision. Why would anyone want to modify a loan and wait twenty years (or more) to have equity? For the few who actually qualify for loan modification, they become “renters for life.” Too many people refuse to recog nize a mistake, and then they compound the mistake over and over by spending their entire life savings, 401(k)’s, retirement savings, and even borrow money from family to avoid accepting the reality of the situation.

Las Vegas, NV - August 25, 2011 - (RealEstateRama) -- While short sales minimize damage to your credit versus foreclosure, the fact remains that the goal of every short sale is to walk away without the bank coming after you at some future date down the road. So why are some homeowners asked to pay substantial promissory notes in exchange for a short sale approval, while other homeowners are not asked to pay a promissory note at all? The answer can almost always be found by looking at the experience (or lack of experience) of the Real Estate Agent. There are certain factors which minimize hardship in the eyes of banks and bank Investors, and are essentially short sale deal killers. A Realtor experienced with short sales will be able to explain the banks perception of hardship and how it applies to your particular situation.

Las Vegas, NV - November 15, 2010 - (RealEstateRama) -- The Myers Team with Century 21 MoneyWorld warns Nevada homeowners to beware of Realtors who call themselves Short Sale Experts or Short Sale Specialists. According to Francoise Myers, owner of the Myers Team, "Many self-proclaimed Las Vegas Short Sale Experts have little or no actual experience closing short sale transactions." Additionally, Myers said, "There are many Realtors who are aggressively advertising their short sale expertise on the Internet, and even on TV, however, many of these so called experts are not even ranked in the top 50 short sale agents in Las Vegas. Closing 5-10 short sale transactions a year hardly makes anyone an expert."
