Our Real Estate Sign Van Gets A New Look

by Sam Miller

 

Sam Miller Real Estate Sign Van Pages Graphic

Our real estate sign van has an all new look thanks to Rod Zolman of Sharx Design.  Rod has been a personal friend and a real estate client of ours for years and Rod does amazing work.  Rod and I really wanted to capture the look and feel of our new knoxcountyohio.com website and at the same time help promote and drive additional traffic to knoxcountyohio.com.  We couldn't be happier with the finished product.  

Tonight was the first night that our sign van hit the road and the reactions from other drivers was pretty spectacular.  One of our goals with the new truck was to create a traveling warehouse of real estate signs, directional signs, specialty sign riders, brochure boxes, real estate marketing supplies and tools that we use and loan out to our clients and customers.  Repurposing our van is going to save our team so much time and enhance our day to day efficiency. 

If you haven't checked out our knoxcountyohio.com Real Estate website you will be pleasantly surprised at all the new home search functions we built into it.  You can now search and view homes by community, by specific price ranges, by specific school districts, you can search and view homes with large lots and acreage and dozens of other customized searches.

What is a Short Sale?

by Sam Miller

Real estate foreclosures in Knox County, Ohio are on the rise.  Due to the increase in unemployment, I believe it is realistic that home foreclosures will continue to increase until the job market rebounds.  Home foreclosures can cause serious stress and these types of financial challenges are one of the biggest factors influencing the increased divorce rate among married couples today.

Did you know that a high percentage of the homes that are foreclosed on could have avoided foreclosure and the owner could have sold the home through a REALTOR?  This is where the term Short Sale comes into play.

The Short Sale Explained.  (Just click the play button) 

 

In today's current housing market, many people owe more on their home than their home is worth.  There are many reasons a homeowner may owe more on their home than it is currently worth and here are some examples:

  1. This may have happened because the value of the home simply dropped.
  2. They refinanced their original loan and rolled the closing costs into the new loan.
  3. They may have added a home equity loan and financed the closing costs into the loan.
  4. They did a cash out refinance to pay off other consumer debts, vehicles and credit cards.
  5. Many owners refinance to pay unexpected medical bills or funeral expenses. 
  6. Divorces, in many cases, create the need to refinance a home when one of the spouses wants to maintain ownership of the home and often at that point they are required to remove the ex spouse from legal ownership and financial obligation.
  7. There are dozens of reasons why someone might owe more on their home than it is worth and in many cases it could even be a combination of any of the items listed above.
If you are looking for honest answers AND solutions when you are wanting to sell your real estate I can help.  It doesn't matter whether your specific situation requires a short sale, a distressed sale, divorce, an estate or any other reason. I have the experience and the systems required to help you.  If you know someone who you think could benefit from the video and information feel free to use the "Share This" feature that is listed below.
