House off the market with agreement?

Posted on November 8, 2011 by admin| 5 Comments

When you’ve completed an agreement of sale with the selling realtor, are they supposed to take the house off the market for 30 days? That’s what we’ve heard, but the selling agent refuses.

Qualifying for leasing a home after a foreclosure?

Posted on October 30, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

Our house was foreclosed upon this month after late payments due to an extended illness. We have a mutual agreement with our lender, who purchased the note, to move by mid-August. The realtor who will handle the sale of our home said that he would provide a good reference letter to help us find a home to lease.

We are in Texas. Will we qualify for leasing a home within our means with this foreclosure on our record? On the common Texas Leaser’s application, I see questions asking about if there was a foreclosure or eviction.

Each of us has steady employment (9 and 10 years as a teacher and hospital worker, respectively) and great references. Our monthly gross income is 5200. with only one loan payment of 350./mo.

The houses we are looking at have management companies handling the application. Is there anything we can do to increase our chances of qualifying to rent? I thought about writing a letter and including a pic. Or, is there not a chance because of the foreclosure?

Thanks

Neighbor is criticizing my house I have for sale?

Posted on October 29, 2011 by admin| 11 Comments

I have a house that needs some work that Im selling as a handy man special. I buy and sell house for a living and have done this for years. But the guy that owns the property next door and around the house keeps coming over when the realtor is there with a potential buyer and saying there is a million things wrong that really are not. What can I do about this. he has ran several people off doing this. Is there any laws that prevent this. i have no trespassing signs up now to maybe detour him from coming around.

Posted on October 17, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

We have a mobile home in a trailer park we are trying to sell. It isn’t selling very well, and were told to try to sell it without a realtor and to sell it with a contract to deed option. I just need to know good ways to get it out into the community that it is for sale. Any tips/tricks? Any help would be much appreciated!!!
