The Associated Press reported the other day that homeowners are exiting the Obama mortgage program in droves. This confirms what the real estate community in Arizona (more specifically Maricopa and Pinal Counties) has been seeing for months. Very few loan modifications have been going through. See the article here: Borrowers exit troubled Obama mortgage program Loan modifications are still worth trying. If you can get a payment to suit your budget, why not? With that said, Arizona homeowners need to have a back up plan. A short sale can be an excellent option with the guidance of a well qualified real estate attorney and real estate agent. Advice can be given by attorneys on whether or not to short sale for a relatively low cost. Real estate agents get paid by the bank and don't get pai... 06/24/2010

My partner/husband Dean, and I discuss all the time how the real estate market in the Phoenix metro area has changed so drastically over the last decade. It's been steady, flat, booming, crashing and bouncing! The last few years in particular have been tough on sellers and buyers alike. We've gone from a resale/new home sales market to one that is dominated by bank owned and short sale inventory. We've never followed the market - we've always tried to stay in front of it. That's a hard place to be sometimes when you're looking at the data and see the foreclosure numbers with names of friends you recognize or you have eager buyers when the inventory is being constrained. We were going through our listings at an office meeting this week and Dean remarked how glad he was to have a listing ... 05/08/2010

We do a lot of short sales, but we also turn quite a few away. We've had a 100% short sale success record since the beginning of 2009. No secret sauce here. The bottom line is we don't take short sales we don't think we can get approved. We've also been doing them for a long time and have obtained some great certification and training, including the CDPE designation. We've closed short sales with 5 liens, firsts AND Helocs, Indmac, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Wachovia, Chase, FHA, VA, Fannie Mae, you name it. Which brings me to my story. A few months ago we met with a homeowner with one mortgage with Chase. They were having financial difficulties and trying to obtain a loan mod on their primary residence. They "didn't need our help and were sure their loan mod would go through." (Nego... 04/17/2010

A couple of points to help everyone working with short sales out there. Did you know that FHA back loans are Federal loans and therefore, trump any State laws regarding recourse vs. non-recourse? In Arizona for example, this means that, FHA is exempt from our anti-deficiency statutes and has completely different qualifying criteria for a short sale! It doesn't matter whether the property is a primary residence or not. VA loans are also considered recourse loans. Great thing to remember when you're consulting with a short sale client who has an FHA or VA listing. OR, before you represent a buyer on an FHA or VA short sale. By the way, we have a great designated broker, Heidi Quigley who keeps all of our brokers at UBG on track with important points like this. Protects our clients, protec... 03/31/2010

  Ahwatukee is well known for being an affluent, L-shaped neighborhood on the west end of the Valley of the sun.  This community is formally known as Ahwatukee Foothills Village, and the residents have taken great care to try to remain separate and apart from greater Phoenix. The community has a small town feel, and perhaps it is because it is almost completely isolated by South Mountain and South Mountain Park from the other fourteen urban villages comprising the city of Phoenix.  However, being surrounded by South Mountain and South Mountain Park does allow for incredible mountain views and spectacular desert vistas with marvelous sunrises and sunsets. In the middle of all this splendor, you will be able to find Green Housing in Ahwatukee Community.  These homes are masterfully design... 03/25/2010
