A short sale is a property that sells for less than the balance owing on its mortgage. A short sale can be an underwater home, an apartment building or even vacant land. If there is a mortgage balance that is greater than the market value of the home, that property is a short sale.

Selling or Buying a home that is a short sale requires agents who know what they are doing on each side of the transaction. Seller’s need to understand their situation and the short sale process. Some real estate agents throw homes on the market that will never close as a short sale. That’s because the agents do not always qualify as short sale sellers. Some agents place unrealistic price tags on the short sale, which the bank will never accept. It is always wise to choose an experienced short sale agent. In Short Sale Secrets Exposed, author Joseph M. Guarino Jr., an expert real estate agent exposes everything one needs to know about getting into the right short sale transactions.

Joseph Guarino Jr. was a financial planner for four years, mortgage broker for six years and a realtor for the last eight years. He has specialized in the short sale arena for over three years and considers being one of the best negotiators in the market today. The Short Sale Secrets Exposed aims to provide awareness to those who want to learn about short sale secrets the banks don’t want everyone to know. It’s the only short guide a realtor, homeowner and investor will ever need. This book will also help homeowners avoid foreclosure and live in the home without making any payments.

The Government-backed FirstBuy scheme is available at Taylor Wimpey’s NR1 development of brand new homes in Norwich – and is proving invaluable to first-time buyers like Billy McCluskey.

Lady Luck was smiling on Billy McCluskey when he attended Taylor Wimpey’s ‘Cool Britannia’ bash at NR1, the leading housebuilder’s sought-after city-centre development of apartments for sale in Norwich.

The first-time buyer entered a prize draw for a luxury weekend for two in London during the special launch of the new NR1 show apartment, where Norwich property-seekers were offered the first glimpse of its beautiful Brit-chic decor.

Billy’s name was drawn out of the hat, but as he was about to reserve an NR1 apartment, he opted to receive the cash equivalent of the prize – which came in handy when he put a deposit down on his new Taylor Wimpey property in Norwich!

“It was pure luck that I went along to the Cool Britannia event, because I had already visited NR1 and made my mind up that I wanted to buy there, so didn’t really need to see the show apartment,” says the 21-year-old, who manages the homeware department in a local branch of Marks Spencer.

“But my mum Louise was insistent that she wanted to have a look at the show home before I bought at NR1, so I went along with her – and it was lucky I did!

“Mum was really happy with what she saw, and I was really blown away by the show apartment which gives you a real idea of how you can choose from Taylor Wimpey’s range of interior Options to really make your home stand out from the rest.”

Like many first-time buyers, Billy feared a lack of a sizeable deposit may have counted against him when it came to securing an affordable mortgage. But, after speaking to the team at the NR1 development of properties for sale in Norwich, he discovered he was eligible for the Government-backed FirstBuy scheme.

Under FirstBuy, selected new homes at the development can be accessed by eligible purchasers for 80% of their full price, including a 75% mortgage and a 5% deposit, subject to status.

“FirstBuy is a fantastic initiative that makes it possible for first-time buyers such as myself to be able to afford their first home,” says Billy.

“The whole process of signing up to FirstBuy and buying my home couldn’t have been more straightforward thanks to all the guidance and support I received from Taylor Wimpey. Everybody was so helpful and I was really impressed with their product knowledge, which meant I could make an informed decision to buy.

“In fact, my mortgage repayments are actually £30 cheaper a month than I pay in rent, on a place that I share with a friend. So not only do I now have my own home, but I’m better off too!”

With his apartment due for completion in November, Billy is now looking forward to setting up home in one of Norwich’s most sought-after locations.

He says: “NR1 has pretty much everything on its doorstep. It’s got great views of the river, is handy for the waterside bars and restaurants, there’s a cinema and bowling alley nearby plus a retail park and supermarket for shopping.

“The railway station is a five-minute walk away and it’s just 10 minutes on foot to the city centre.”

There’s a superb selection of one and two-bedroom apartments currently available to purchase at NR1, with prices starting at £132,995 and £152,995 respectively.

Selected plots can be accessed by qualifying first-time buyers for 80% of their purchase price under the FirstBuy scheme – that means from £106,395 for a one-bedroom apartment and £122,395 for a two-bedroom design. Full details are available at the development.

Apartments at NR1 each feature a spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room, good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom off the internal entrance hallway, while two-bedroom plots include en-suite facilities to master bedrooms. All apartments also benefit from attractive private balconies with access from both the living area and bedroom.

Superbly located in landscaped surroundings and appointed to present fantastic views over the River Wensum, NR1 offers city living at its best.

The Riverside leisure and entertainment complex is right on the doorstep and Norwich’s main shopping district is just a short walk away, with the home of Premier League football club Norwich City only a stone’s throw from the development.

Home to the renowned University of East Anglia, the city also has a thriving cultural scene, with several theatres as well as arts and live music venues.

For commuters, Norwich railway station is only half a mile away from NR1 for frequent services to London, Peterborough, Cambridge and the seaside towns of Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Sheringham, while the A47, A11 and A140 provide excellent road routes north, south, east and west.

Visitors to NR1 can explore the Cool Britannia showhome and Sales Information Centre, located in Wherry Road, Norwich, NR1 1WS, and open Thursday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm, and Mondays from 1.30pm to 5pm. Alternatively, visit taylorwimpey.co.uk.

A law approved by the Monroe County Commission Wednesday should make Keys homeowners think twice about avoiding downstairs-enclosure inspections prior to putting their house up for sale.

“A buyer has a common-law right of action against a seller who fails to disclose an issue with a property. We wanted to give that a little more oomph to give them a private right of action under the ordinance that allows for damages and an attorneys fees provision,” Chief Assistant County Attorney Bob Shillinger said.

The commission approved the provision as part of a “certificate of compliance program” law that takes the place of an onerous provision in the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s controversial downstairs-enclosure inspection program.

The commission was debating how to punish homeowners that don’t comply with the program. The other options were for property owners to go through a “normal code process” or to make avoiding inspections a second-degree misdemeanor.

Growth Management Director said the code provision was taken out because once a home is sold, “there’s nothing to lien,” and the commission was uncomfortable criminalizing the offense.

“At least this is way the government is recognizing [the problem] and it gives a little more evidence to give to the judge,” Hurley said, referring to the damages and attorney fees provision of the law.

Enclosure inspections are a local requirement of FEMA’s program to find and remove enclosures below the floodplain or built illegally. They’re key to the county remaining in FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program, which insures almost all Keys properties.

FEMA approved the compliance program in November after a requirement that subjected property owners to enclosure inspections when applying for a building permit in a separate area of their home was repealed in June in state House Bill 407. Former Lower Keys resident John November drafted the bill.

“The real estate community will be happy because this will get into the record which houses are golden as to this issue. In a proactive way, if people participate — especially ones who’ve had inspections and came into compliance — they could end up having a much more marketable product,” Growth Management Director Christine Hurley said.

All Keys homes insured by FEMA are subject to inspection. Hurley said there were “5,600 total letters sent out and around 2,000 are still left to call us for inspections.”

RALEIGH — From staff reports

Police charged a man and woman Friday night with having cocaine and marijuana in their apartment and using it as a place from which to sell drugs.

Tiffany Tara Pierre, 28, and Antwon DeShun Bobbit, 36, were arrested at 504 Bridle Ridge Lane, Apartment 204, late Friday. Raleigh police said in arrest warrants that they had 26.9 grams of cocaine and 30.5 grams of marijuana.
