Foreclosure SUCKS!

You Have Options ... You Can Sell Your Home for LESS Than You Owe.

Did you know that there are hundreds of people RIGHT NOW, in Colorado Springs, that cannot afford their mortgage payments anymore? Maybe this is you.

• Maybe your mortgage rate went up, making your mortgage payment jump into the stratosphere - to a  payment that you could NEVER afford.
• Maybe you lost your job, got downsized or got a cut in pay. Or maybe, you just never got that raise that you were promised.
• Maybe you are going through an incredibly difficult time in your life that no one will ever really understand. Death. Illness. Divorce...

If any (or all) of these apply to you, then you are probably looking at foreclosure. STARING at foreclosure.

Foreclosure SUCKS. It stresses you out. It makes it hard to breathe. It makes it hard to sleep at night. It makes you feel bad about yourself. It makes you not want to look at your friends and neighbors in the eye. It ruins your credit. It could make you ineligible to ever be a home owner again. 

Well ... YOU HAVE OPTIONS.

You don't have to come up with THOUSANDS of dollars in back payments. You don't have to mail your keys to your bank. You don't have to leave them on the counter and walk away. You don't have to live with the fear that someone is going to knock on your door at any moment and boot you and your family to the curb.

Right now, there are a lot of people in your situation. Because of this, mortgage banks (LIKE YOURS) are working with a few local real estate agents to SELL YOUR HOME FOR LESS THAN YOU OWE ... to avoid foreclosure. This is called a "Short Sale" and is an EXCELLENT option, instead of foreclosure.

Now, not all real estate agents are certified to work with banks to get this done. In fact, there are VERY FEW real estate agents in Colorado Springs who even know what they are doing with short sales, so you will need to be careful. You need a real estate agent who:

• Will NOT charge you for their services,
• Has ample experience negotiating with banks to short sale properties, and
• Has a team of professionals DEDICATED to working with you to push back your foreclosure date and get your home SOLD before it forecloses

Selling a home in the current Colorado Springs real estate market can be an extremely emotional process... Especially nowadays.

Did you know that the current real estate market has caused the sales of St. Joseph statues to increase by over 200%?

What?!?

See, it is believed that burying a St. Joseph statue in your yard will help your home sell. And some people have actually had great success with it...

But why?

There are a lot of different explanations out there, but the one that I recently read from Ines Hegedus-Garcia on Miamism.com (a prominent Miami Real Estate blog) seems to make the MOST sense:

"In the case of sellers, we encounter that a lot of the time there are emotional blocks where subconsciously a seller does not really want to sell their home; whether it's because of priceless memories that the home holds or simply because they dread having to pack and move and to find a new place. (I know this may be a bit far fetched for "the skeptics"). The actual ritual of buying and burying the statue can help break the emotional block, and ultimately make the house more welcoming to prospective buyers."

A fundamental part of what the Wagner iTeam - Colorado Springs Real Estate Connection does is make people move.

At the close of almost every real estate transaction, our Seller clients move OUT OF their old homes and/or our Buyer clients move INTO their new home.

For our Seller clients, we offer the services of one of the best home stagers in Colorado Springs. The number one thing that our stager recommends is to REMOVE CLUTTER.

"Clutter-free interiors allow potential home buyers to appreciate all that a home has to offer -- resulting in a shorter sales cycle and a higher selling price. The fewer items there are in a home, the easier it is for a home shopper to envision the space as their own."  - Comment taken from an email I recieved from PODS.com.

Here are 7 tips to help de-clutter your home, taken from PODS.com:
