Mentone Short Sales are nothing new. In fact, most of the Mentone housing market consists of short sales these days.

If you’re struggling to make your mortgage payments on a property that is worth half the value of what you purchased it for? This is NOT the American dream. No one wants to lose their home to foreclosure. And no one wants to sell them home if they don’t want to move. But doing nothing and letting the bank foreclose, or staying with a home that is financially crushing is not the way to support your family.

A Mentone short sale may be the best option for you. But how can you know without talking to a Mentone Short Sale Expert (That’s us!)?

Have you considered a loan modification instead of a short sale? That may be the best option for you. In fact, for some is has been. But be warned, it is not the best option for every mortgage situation! You need ALL the information to make a calculated decision. You need to speak with your bank or mortgage holder. You also need to speak with a short sale expert (Again, that’s us!) that knows the other details the banks don’t want to tell you.

If you’re wondering:

• Why would my bank accept a Mentone short sale?
• What are the tax consequences of my Mentone short sale?
• Shouldn’t I hire an attorney instead of a short sale REALTOR to short sale my property?
• How will my Mentone short sale affect my credit? What if I foreclose instead?
• How long should I expect short sale process to take?
• Do I have to be behind on payments of my Mentone house?
• What if my Mentone house has more than one mortgage?
• Can I short sell my Mentone home to a friend or relative?
• What Does The Bank Consider a Short Sale Hardship?
• Should I keep my Mentone HOA dues current?

O.K., I’m ready to get started…. so now what do I do??

When it comes to choosing a Yucaipa REALTOR, some may think its an easy decision, some may think its a hard decision, and some may not know either way. But being in the business for as long as we have and being successful in one of the toughest real estate markets this country has ever seen, we can give you a few tips on what to look for, what to ask and how to choose the right Yucaipa real estate agent.

First, find a Yucaipa real estate agent that has experience, not just years in the business. There are plenty of Yucaipa agents with many years in the business, but without actually working consistently in real estate. How many deals have they closed in the last couple years? Do they have experience in standard sales, short sales AND foreclosures? Have they been on the listing side and the buying side? Have they handled land sales or commercial sales?

These are good questions to ask. It also helps if they have experience in a specific area of expertise that you need. Do they know how to maximize a Yucaipa standard sale sales price? Do they know how to negotiate a Yucaipa short sale with banks and lenders?

Second, make sure you Yucaipa agent doesn’t have any complaints or disciplinary actions against them. There’s an easy way to do that. Just go to the California Department of Real Estate’s website, highlight Licensees on the top menu, and click on Verify a License, or just click here to go directly to their site. You can look up a Yucaipa REALTOR by name or license number.

Thirdly, talk to your potential Yucaipa real estate agent at length! Get a feel for them; do they make you comfortable? Do they strike you as honest and with your best interests at heart? This may seem like a obvious thing to do, but many Yucaipa home buyers and sellers get caught up in their own insecurities of real estate and ignore their gut. Go with your gut!

Not every Yucaipa agent that you don’t feel right about will be a bad agent, but usually your gut is spot on with making decisions like this. And at the very least you will be comfortable moving forward with them.

Lastly, make a list of things that are important to you! You and your situation are unique and your needs to be met based on what they are. But use this list as a guideline, not hard and fast rules. This way you are flexible in your decision in choosing that right agent for you, instead of playing hardball and insisting that an agent fits your ideas perfectly.

I hope this list helps you choose the right Yucaipa REALTOR for you, and if you’d like to interview us personally call us anytime!

So you’ve decided to sell your house in Chino California. There are many factors to consider when entering into such a transaction. First, in tumultuous times like these, you must first determine what type of sale you will need.

Are you selling a Chino property with equity?

In another words, do you owe less than what the property is worth? If so you will be conducting a standard Chino real estate sale. This type of sale obviously is the best scenario because you should come out of the deal with a margin between the sales price and any money owed on the Chino CA home, minus the cost of sale.

Do you owe more on your Chino House than it’s worth?

Like many Americans, the real estate market has put severe strains on the dream of home ownership. If you owe more on your Chino California home than it’s worth, you may be able to conduct a short sale. A short sale can relieve you of your mortgage burden without destroying your credit and your financial future. Many distressed Chino homeowners are short selling their properties.

Find a Chino CA real estate agent you’re comfortable with.

This is a two-sided process. You must find a REALTOR whom you feel comfortable executing this important transaction, but you must also find a competent Chino agent. Just like any profession, some agents are good, and some are bad. A good agent can make your home sale less difficult and complete it successfully. A bad and incompetent agent can really cause you and the sale a lot of grief, and the sale may not be successful.

Prepare the Chino home for the sale process.

Unfortunately, many Chino home sellers miss this simple step. A home will sell better if it is cleaned up and as free as possible of any damage. Would you sell your car without washing it first? Of course not. So when you’re selling your Chino house, make sure the landscaping is maintained, any repairable damage is completed, and above all, clean. Dispose of any junk or other trash in the property, or on the premises. Another easy thing to do is to de-clutter the house. An open and brightly-lit home will be more appealing and have a better chance of selling.

You’ve received an offer, but now what?

Negotiations are one of the most intense processes of a Chino home sale. You want to ask for what you feel the property is worth, but you also don’t want to scare away your buyer. Know your goal. If you don’t know what your bottom line is, it will be much harder to achieve a good sale. There are many factors to consider other than just the sale price. What other personal property will be included in the sale? Who will pay for closing costs? How will escrow and other fess be split? What will the time-line of the escrow be? And referring back to choosing the right agent, make sure your real estate agent can handle negotiations effectively.

After an agreement has been made, the sale will go to escrow. Inspections, contingencies and other processes of the sale will be executed before escrow can close, and all monies will be dispersed.

Of course this article is a simplified breakdown of the Chino California Home sale process, but hopefully it can point you in the right direction to get started. If you need help figuring out the rest, call us anytime. We’re always here to answer your questions and provide any help you need.
