This home at 2009 Bob White Ct., Quail Run, Mary Esther Florida just sold. It was a VA Compromise Sale, which is a type of short sale. Located near Hurlburt Field and Fort Walton Beach Florida, the home had appeal for military buyers, investors and renters for commuting to base. This Mary Esther home had one mortgage lien from Midland Mortgage.   After we sent in the short sale package, they ordered a VA appraisal. The property appraised for $100,000.  In order to meet VA guidelines of proceeds being at least 88.13% of appraised value, there was a counter offer to the buyer to increase the purchase price by about $6000.  The buyer agreed.  The VA Compromise Sale was approved in 60 days and sold for $96,300.  The veteran homeowner received a waiver of deficiency. I’ve sold many VA Compr...

This building lot at 140 Snook Rd., Mary Esther Florida just sold! It's not as easy to sell a lot as it used to be, so I like to discover the best way to maximize the appeal and exposure of every piece of land I list on the Emerald Coast.  My first step when the sellers approached me with this piece was to simply check the plat online. It appeared that this Mary Esther lot was about four times the size of a standard lot in that neighborhood (reference the aerial above).  I asked the sellers about this and they stated that the lot used to be multiple pieces.  I then called the Okaloosa County Planning Department. The representative told me the lot "may" be subdivable simply by  providing a new survey to the county, but she needed to see the original deeds to make that decision. I had th...

This short sale home at 497 Managua Way, Mary Esther Florida, is under contract as a VA Compromise Sale with a PHH mortgage.  It has been approved for closing within 30 days.  What is a  VA Compromise Sale? It is the Veteran Administration’s version of a short sale.  One important point about a VA Compromise Sale is that you must have a hardship to be approved. What is a hardship? It could be PCS (permanent change of station), divorce, job transfer, medical expenses, death of a breadwinner, unemployment, reduction in pay and more. Be aware that with a VA Compromise Sale, a portion of your VA entitlement won’t be available for a future home purchase unless you reimburse the Veteran’s Administration. You may still have sufficient entitlement remaining to buy another home with a VA loan, ...

This property at 310 Evergreen, Mary Esther Florida was just approved as a VA Compromise Short Sale.  Senior Lien:  JP Mortgage Chase, loan type - VA Junior Lien: Florida SHIP Loan Florida SHIP (State Housing Initiatives Partnerships) is a downpayment assistance program that is managed separately by each county in Florida.  Okaloosa County SHIP  forgave the entire balance of their $12,500 junior lien.  We accomplished the debt forgiveness by sending a hardship letter to the SHIP director for Okaloosa County.  Because the seller was a forced military relocation who PCSd from Eglin Air Force Base, they forgave the debt in full.  Don’t count on total forgiveness in other counties in Florida. Each request for a short sale is individually reviewed.  Chase approved the VA Compromise Sale in ...

One year later, Bank of America finally caught on to the real pricing for this Quail Run short sale home at 2005 Bob White Court in Mary Esther Florida.  This West of Hurlburt Field property, located in the greater Fort Walton Beach area, has a unique floorplan with large family room, plus formal tiled living with fireplace. The kitchen is center-isle, and there is a oversized, functional utility room/shop. One year ago, Bank of America refused an offer for $112,000.  Their appraisal at the time came in for $132,000.  So, we played the game, raised the price, then slowly lowered it.  Well, the home just sold for $110,000.... APPROVED by Bank of America.  If you need to avoid foreclosure and sell your home in Mary Esther Florida, contact an experienced Fort Walton Beach short sale agent...

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog about an imminent foreclosure for one of my sellers in Mary Esther FL - "The 11th Hour".  We had little time and a foreclosure sale date set at the Okaloosa County courthouse steps for 11:00 a.m. the next business day, when I finally got an offer on the property.  I wrote how I frantically and repeatedly tried to call and fax Litton Loan Services to stop the sale and consider the short sale offer.  How no one would call me back or let me know if the sale had been stopped.  I eventually heard back from the bank the next day.  They postponed the sale to look at the offer.  The short sale was approved two weeks later. The seller had lost two-thirds of his income, his wife had had a liver transplant, and the home I was selling had been destroyed and then rebui...
