Tampa Bank Foreclosures and Short Sales

Welcome to
Bank Foreclosures and Short Sales in Tampa.

Below I will have homes offered for sale but first lets exsplain a few things.
These are only a few of the Hundreds on the Market...

 There are 3 basic types of sales that can occur when a homeowner has fallen behind in payments or no longer has the ability to repay his mortgage. These reasons can vary from loss of income, increase in property taxes and homeowners insurance to refinancing beyond the homeowner ability to repay and even divorce. These are just a few of the reasons not all and anyone of them can cause allot of distress for the homeowner. Loosing a home is not something I would wish on anyone. If you know that this is something that is going to happen and you cannot avoid you still have some control on the out come and how it will affect your credit. The best thing to do is to have a Short Sale. With that said let me explain the 3 basic types of foreclosures. We will start with the least painful for a homeowner.

1: The Short Sale. The Short Sale is named such because the home is being sold for less than what is owned the Bank or Banks (there can be and often is more than one mortgage). A short sale can be a long slow process, as it has to follow a process. First the homeowner must agree to sell the home for less than what is owed and next the bank must agree to accept less than what is owed. Even if the homeowner lists the home and a contract is accepted it is still contingent upon the bank being willing to accept the short payment. If the homeowner is successful with a short sale his credit is usually hit with 100-point loss. This is bad but nowhere near as bad as if the home was fully foreclosed. If done correctly the loan will show satisfied and if the homeowner is cautious with his credit afterward they can usually recover and rise there credit score back up again and one day may have the ability to purchase another home. If this is a situation you are in you should contact a qualified Realtor and ask them if they are familiar with a Short sale and can help you sell. If you are in the Hillsborough or Pasco county area I would be glad to assist you and my services to you will be at no additional charge as the bank will pay my commission which will be negotiated between myself and the bank. This process should begin quickly, do not wait until your home is scheduled to be foreclosed and you are evicted.

2: A Foreclosure:  This will occur when the home owner is behind in payments and is not willing to or can not catch up on payments and just lets the bank proceed with the foreclosure. A notice is sent stating that the owner is behind in payments, then another notice stating that unless they catch up on payments or make other arrangement a "Les Pendence" will be fillied ( the Official notice that the bank is going to foreclosure) then another notice of a court hearing then if found in default the home will be foreclosed and the home owner evicted. This will hit the homeowner credit with a loss of aprox. 250 point (devastating) also it will show the home was foreclosed and the debt not paid. (This is why a short sale is more beneficial)
An average foreclosure can cost a bank $20,000, $30,000 and even $40,000.  This is another reason a bank is willing to accept a Short Sale, as there loss will not be as great.

3: R.E.O.  This is short for Real Estate Owned: This is real estate that has been foreclosed and the bank now owns. No matter what you have been told a bank does not like to own real estate through foreclosure. They now have a bad loan on the books and have bared the expense of all the legal fees and the time and cost to foreclose on the home.
