Here’s the scenario. A consumer calls you based upon a blog post that you have recently made. He is in dire NEED of the services of a competent and professional real estate agent.<\/p>\n

He must sell his house quickly. He is in foreclosure and he does not want his credit damaged. He already has had a short sale denied by his bank because he has too many other assets. His only alternative is to sell the home.<\/p>\n

Here are the vital signs:<\/p>\n

1. The home is worth approximately $300,000.00 as determined by comparable analysis
\n2. He owes $208,000.00 on his first and second mortgage combined
\n3. He has a Federal Tax Lien in the amount of $22,500.00
\n4. He has a municipal lien for not maintaining his pool (it’s a green slimy mess) and it has been running since October 2007 at the rate of $1,000.00 per day
\n5. He has not paid the County Property taxes in 2 years and he owes the County $12,500.00
\n6. He has not listed the property because he thinks he can not afford to pay commission and he’s not willing to sign a listing agreement that he can not terminate at will
\n7. His wife is on title with him but she’s now in Chicago living with her parents and wants $5,000 from the sale of the house
\n8. He needs at least $5,000.00 himself to be able to move on with his life
\n9. He will also need to stay in the house for 30 days AFTER the closing because it will take him that long to move because he can’t move until he gets the money from the closing
\n10. The house has pretty good bones but will need:
\na. \u00a0basic cosmetic work
\nb.\u00a0 new landscaping
\nc.\u00a0 the pool drained, cleaned and refilled as well as a new pump
\nd. the roof needs to be replaced (estimate from local roofer is $8,500.00)
\ne. the garage door needs to be replaced<\/p>\n

Other than what has been stated above, the home is located in an upper middle class neighborhood with good schools and is in close proximity to great amenities like a major mall, fine restaurants and exciting nightlife activities.
