Philadelphia Short Sales: Another Successful Short Sale in Castor Gardens !

Philadelphia Short Sales:  Another Successful Short Sale in Castor Gardens !

A seller called me as she was in a bind regarding a property she owned in Castor Gardens.  It used to be her primary residence but she ended up renting it out.  Based on what she owed on the property, it was clear that she would either have to show up at settlement with money or do a short sale.  In meeting with her, there was a definite case of hardship that warranted to go the short sale route.

It was a tough deal in dealing with the dramas of the tenant.  And tougher dealing with the bank.  Not in terms of negotiation but the length of time it took to get the final decision.  It was also tough dealing with the buyer as he got impatient many times along the way.  It is understandable... that is the nature of short sales !!!

The good news is that Sovereign bank finally came around and approved the short sale.  The buyer was thrilled that he could finally close on the property and our seller was so happy that we got her out of the situation.  It is what makes our job worthwhile when there is so much appreciation in the end.  For this seller, we also sold 2 more of her properties to allow her family to move to North Carolina to basically start fresh.  I am very happy for them.  Look for a testimonial from them soon on our website "The Somers Team" ! 

This continues our streak that every Philadelphia Short Sale listing that we have taken on has made it to settlement !

Philadelphia Short Sales do work !!!  You just have to plan ahead and have the right Realtors involved from the beginning !

When it takes a year to sell a Property... Do not Give Up !

Settlement Success in Castor Gardens

We had a settlement yesterday that was a culmination of a lot of hard work, communication and patience.  We originally listed this property in Castor Gardens in November 2007 and had the settlement in January 2009.  That is a long time !  There are a few very important items to take away from this.

Never Give Up !

o  Never give up on the path to success.

o  Reassess, adjust and make recommendations along the way.

o  Communication with your clients is essential, imperative and critical.

o  Know your market inside and out .

  

The property was one of few mixed used properties in the neighborhood and not the easiest to price or to appraise.  The sellers expectations were too high in the beginning but not too far off.  It took a couple of price reductions and the seller rejecting a deal before the first deal was accepted.  One deal blew up after the buyer could not obtain financing which 4 months were lost and then finally the last deal went through.

Every step of the way we communicated with our seller, got the necessary extensions and navigated through the process.  Without this, I am sure the seller would have relisted with another realtor.   We never gave up and were determined to have the goal achieved.   Further, with the trickiness of the market and the property, without our knowledge in terms of knowing the market and the sales, the last deal probably would not have gone through.

The big picture is what our market is providing is for the opportuntity for the energetic and experienced agents to gain market share as customers really need this expertise more than ever.  Further, those agents that specialize in internet marketing for their sellers will be that much more in demand as well in 2009 and the years to come !

What are you doing today to excel in this market in 2009 ?
