10 Years from now you'll look back & say I should of bought in NEWARK....Reading the heading your probably like why?  Being born in Brooklyn, NYC, I remember when no one wanted to live there but us, now look at it Multi-million dollar brownstones and condos tie up the skyline.  If you look back 10 years ago and Newark is where Brooklyn was.      Right now many areas in Newark are poverty stricken (I remember Flatbush Avenue in the 90's) it seems like no one wants to live there but all of sudden Newark has found life...They are many new building being bought and large name franchises coming to town.  Wholefoods is coming to Downtown Newark, they recently built a Sonic burger spot not to mention the Marriott that features a Joe's crab shack.  Newark now features Chipoltle and they are bui...

We're proud to report another successful Bank of America Short Sale, a newer 2-family home in the historic Forest Hill section of Newark, NJ.   This 2-family home was built just over a decade ago.  It featured central air/heat, separate utilities, built in garage, paver driveway, fenced yard 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms.  As you can imagine, there were many interested buyers for this Bank of America Short Sale. As we were able to obtain a pre-approved Bank of America Short Sale List Price, we knew any offer at full price would be approved by the lien holder.  We got an offer at full list relatively quickly, and got the short sale approved just a few weeks later with a huge $9,670 borrower incentive fee approved for our Short Sale client!  The story doesn't end there.  Unfortunately,...

We've recently closed on another Wells Fargo HAFA Short Sale, this one in the Forest Hill section of Newark, NJ.   This side-hall colonial was highly sought after.  Besides its great location in historic Forest Hill, this Wells Fargo HAFA Short Sale offered 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a partially finished basement, a 2-car detached garage and original hardwood flooring and wood trim. After marketing the property for less than two weeks, we received a full list price offer from a VA qualified buyer who wanted to reside in this lovely home.   As this was a Wells Fargo HAFA Short Sale, we were provided the pre-approved list price ahead of time, so we were confident our offer would be accepted.  We had already provided our Short Sale seller's documentation to Wells Fargo HAFA Short Sale, so ...

     For over 88 years, the Harlem Globetrotters have been entertaining fans with their incredible showmanship while innovating the game of basketball. As part of their 201 "Fans Rule" tour, the Globetrotters made a stop at the Prudential Center in Newark on Sunday Feb. 16, which I took in along with my son, and even though I had watched the Harlem Globetrotters on television when I was a kid, I never saw them in person until last night.      The doors opened at exactly 6 PM, for a 7 PM tip and they had some cheerleaders performing which we missed due to the length of the lines to get in. They didn't have any souvenir stands up on the concourse which was discouraging and I had to ask an attendant to find out you had to go down near the court where they had tables lined up and big lines,...

Citibank Short Sale Closed in Newark NJ We're pleased to announce another successful Citibank Short Sale has closed, this one located in Newark, NJ.  This attached 2-family home was in need of repairs.  The property was an investment home for my clients, and their tenants had neglected the home and failed to pay rent, which was part of my clients' hardship.  Once the home became abandoned, it was eventually vandalized and suffered fire damage from a neighboring home.  Suffice to say, this was not an easy Short Sale. After completing the borrower eligibility phase, Citibank Short Sale Dept. ordered a Broker Price Opinion (BPO) to determine what price we should market the home for.  While a list price of only $47,000 may sound cheap to the average consumer, given the condition of this pro...

This 2-family home was in good condition and showed complete pride of ownership.  Featuring hardwood floors, an above ground pool in the rear yard, a finished basement and attic and separate utilities, it made for a great investment.

Bank of America Cooperative Short Sale Closed in North Newark NJ 07104 We’re pleased to announce another closed Bank of America Cooperative Short Sale was successfully concluded, this one located in the North Ward of the City of Newark. This 10 year old, 2-family home featured 10 total rooms, 6 total bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms a built in garage, separate utilities and central heat.  The home was in fair condition, with only some cosmetic repairs needed, and was a tremendous investment for only $135,000. This Bank of America Cooperative Short Sale was somewhat challenging for a few reasons.  First of all, the initial BPO value came in significantly higher than the offer price.  We successfully challenged that value and had it overturned.  Secondly, Bank of America employed a third party ...

Short Sales can be challenging, and FHA Short Sales seem to have a lot more challenges than HAFA or Traditional Short Sales do.  That’s partly why we’re pleased to announce this Bank of America FHA Short Sale was just closed in North Newark, NJ 07104. The subject property was a beautiful 2-Family Home, just 6 years young with 13 total rooms, 6 total bedrooms and 4 ½ bathrooms, and offered hardwood floors, a finished ground level recreation room and central air/heat.  Located in North Newark with close proximity to shopping, major transportation, Branch Brook Park and other public facilities, this home was a steal at just $250,000.   HUD Pre-foreclosure Sale (PFS) guidelines require that borrowers apply for a loan modification prior to being considered for a Short Sale of their FHA Loan....
