Great weekend with all the activity about the listings that Sundin Realty has for the Fannie Mae foreclosed homes. With 6% seller concessions, no appraisal, No MI what’s not to love! This will slowly make the difference in some neighborhoods.

I just rescued another deal where this incredible house was listed for $339,000 and the offer was for $341,000 with seller paying $6,000 in closing costs and Wells Fargo declined it due to low value or the new policy of using an AVM and the value was 10% out of perimeter so they don’t like it. Come May it is even going to be worst as National Companies need to order appraisals and they are guaranteeing value to the lenders…hmmm- value has always been what one will pay so how the hell they goin got do that?

Nothing to do with the fact that the appraisal was a licensed appraiser and is bonded and trained in the field…. and an AVM is like pulling off Zillow- never accurate and especially if you have a nicer neighborhood and less then a mile away has an ugly ran down neighborhood that you are now pulled into! I just can’t believe they will take an automated value over a true professional. UGGGH!~

Well I sometimes wonder about these big banks…. seem to be making it worst for themselves and society as a whole. I think we saved the day with our Homepath loan program! We are able to offer the same 95% loan and this time go the full 6% seller contributions and had en even lower rate! Clients are ecstatic…and I scored a new affiliate partner I hope for once again stepping out of the box and finding solutions to the problems of today.

We have a really incredible bridge loan as well that I think I will be offering training on next….I think it will be another GREAT TOOL that will make a difference of a tranasaction. For those struggling the box is getting smaller and for those who are adventurous I say it’s time to LEAP! Try something different- make sure you have the very best lender you have ever spoken with… market like you have never markete before….

As hard as it is to compete with the banks today….finding what works in this market and educating the Realtors and buyers has became my true passion and is what it’s all about! We all need to step outside the box, that is one thing that separates the application takers from the true professionals.

Yours truly,
