Underwater mortgages down 42%!

Due to market conditions, a staggering number of homeowners  found themselves owing more on their homes then their homes were worth.

This latest report released by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is a good sign that the real estate market is recovering.

As of the end of June 2013 the numbers of homeowner who owe more than what their mortgage is currently worth dropped from 12.1 million to 7.1 million.  

Here are some other good recovery signs:

- More lenders are making loan modification programs available

- There are more foreclosure mitigation service and options available.

- The Making Home Affordable Program continues to press lenders to identify and respond to struggling mortgage holders prior to any foreclosure actions.

If you would like to assess your homes current market value please feel free to email or give a call to set up an appointment.

These home reports are intensive, and full of detailed information that provides you with a good overview of how your home sits in current market conditions.

Reports are created for you in exchange for a donation of any size to one of my current charities.  (View the list on the top right of this page).

Best wishes,

Why I became a Real Estate Agent

Why did I become a real estate agent?

I guess the real question is why does anyone do what they love?

My hobby has always been looking for, reviewing and analyzing the profitability of different properties for myself and others.   It is a natural fit and something I have always enjoyed doing without pay.

When I found myself at a cross roads, being very successful yet very unhappy in the work I was doing, I decided to be bold and make a change.   This kind of work is less secure than what I was used to.  There are so many unpredictable and uncontrollable variables that can affect your ability to make a living.

The one thing I knew for sure is that I know how to work in a way that gets results.

I have always been that person who can take difficult or seemingly impossible situations and straighten them out.   I am that guy you call when you have a concept or idea, and can make it happen.

 Results.  Results is what I do.

Good results are what people need and are counting on in all their real estate transactions.

Whether buying, selling or renting, I put 100% into making things go as smoothly and profitably as possible.

I like working with people, and enjoy making this process easier, well informed and less intimidating for them.   Giving people good information so that they can make good data based decisions is an essential part of the service I provide.

Another key reason I switched to this career is to have the flexibility to work with nice people.  Simple as that may sound, working with pleasant, nice people really adds to my enjoyment and quality of life.

I was blessed to have multiple offers and opportunities of Brokers to work with, and I chose what was the best fit for me.  I was the first agent for a start up brokerage, working for a young broker that I sensed was going to be very successful.

I followed my instincts and was glad I did.

Working for Kareem Fleming @ KaZo Properites and KaZo Property Management has been one of the best decisions I ever made.
