10 Reasons You Need an Agent When Buying a Short Sa
le
A short sale allows you to purchase a property at l
ess than what is owed on the current mortgage. With
today’s high number of foreclosures to prevalent, e
ven in the Myrtle Beach condo market, banks are
looking for individuals to buy quickly. Buying a sh
ort sale helps the banker get out of bad transactio
n and
helps the property owner sell quickly.
Many people believe that buying a short sale is too
complex to do. This does not have to be the case,
especially when you use a real estate agent to help
you through the process. Take a look at the follow
ing
ten reasons you need an agent to buy a foreclosure
property. They provide these services to you.
1.
An agent will help you to locate the best deals bef
ore others get to them. You need the best
deal, after all.
2.
If buying Myrtle Beach condo short sales, you may w
ant to know the rental history and the
overall profitability of owning the condo. Your age
nt can help you with that.
3.
The agent will discuss with you the best way to dis
cuss the transaction with the current owner.
These owners often need to sell fast. Your agent ca
n help you to work through this transaction
to ensure the owner wants to sell to you.
4.
They will help ensure that all of your financial co
ncerns are met, such as ensuring property
inspections and title searches are complete.
5.
You can use the agent to help you to work with the
bank. Often, it is the bank’s loss mitigation
department that holds the cards but you can speed u
p the process with the right information.
6.
You will need to learn how to negotiate with the ba
nk to ensure you pay the least possible while
still convincing the bank to take the cut in profit
.
7.
You will need contracts for the sale. Your short sa
le agent will ensure the process is legally
binding.
8.
If you are hoping to buy low and sell fast, your re
al estate agent for short sales can help you with
that process, too. They can help you to flip the pr
operty quickly so that you turn a profit.
9.
Short sales are not just for investors. If you are
buying a Myrtle Beach condo short sale, for
example, to live in, your agent will help you to fi
nd a property you want to live in.
10.
Bottom line: your agent will help you to get into a
condo for less by helping you to find short
sales to buy that make sense.
There is no hiding the fact that the Myrtle Beach r
eal estate market is lower than it used to be. Howe
ver,
now is the ideal time to buy, especially if you tak
e into consideration short sales. It just makes sen
se.

Dreamlifer Spotlight

The family vacations of childhood often become cherished memories that pass through the generations. For Dreamlifer Linda Bouvette, holidays to Myrtle Beach with her parents began when she was three years old. Her memories of those early vacations include a much quainter version of Boulineaus, a front porch on VJ’s motel where she often sat with her father and the close group of family friends that coordinated their yearly holidays together.
