Dean suggests, the Tempe Luxury condo market and Phoenix luxury condo market over the last few years have been hit especially hard. Both condo markets have been slower to recover than the single family residential market. The primary reason for the slow recovery time is due in most part from the fact that most of the sellers owe more on their mortgage than the condos are worth. This means that most Tempe and Phoenix condos for sale must be sold through a short sale process. To protect yourself in this market it is imperative to work with an agent who specializes in short sale and foreclosure transactions.

Dean Ouellette spends a tremendous amount of time studying and working in the Tempe and Phoenix condo markets. He has the knowledge to help you buy or sell your condo in this challenging market.

Chandler Arizona Mortgage Company

September 15, 2009 3 Comments

I know, I know – you already know that we are located right here in Chandler, Arizona and we are a mortgage company.

Yawn.

But what you don’t know is that my boss just got a direct mail piece from a local SEO firm that wanted to put “him” on the front page of Google for being a Chandler Arizona Mortgage Company.

First, I have to take my hat off to the SEO firm. Really. I mean, they sent out a color brochure explaining how they could get him on the front page for “Chandler Arizona Mortgage Company” in one of two ways — either through pay-per-click or organically. Which I thought was nice since I have had some other companies try to pitch their “getting you on the front page of Google” only to launch a ppc campaign and charge $x per month to get you there and keep you there.

Anyway, if you are a Chandler, AZ mortgage company and you are wondering how to get on the front page of Google… well, you can do it yourself OR you can call an SEO firm. The truth is that there are many SEO firms that are great and do a great job. So if you want to be visible on Google but don’t want to put the time in that it takes to do it yourself, then outsource it.

But if you want to do it yourself and you can spend a few hours a week, it won’t be long before you can also be known as another Chandler Arizona mortgage company that works (hopefully) right down the street from me.

Is Your Landlord In Foreclosure?

September 12, 2009 1 Comment

Is your landlord in foreclosure?

A growing problem among people who rent their homes is that their landlord is allowing their home to go into foreclosure, but is not telling the tenants about it.  What happens if your landlord goes into foreclosure? Should you keep making your rental payments? If the bank forecloses, will it kick you out?

Although the laws are different for each state, here in Arizona, it appears that you might have at least some protection. According to a story that ran in the AZCentral.com not too long ago, you do have certain rights. Valley Real Estate attorney Christopher Combs, says that in the event that your landlord goes into foreclosure and you still have a period of time left on your lease:

Under a new federal law that took effect May 20, the bank generally would have to honor the lease of bona-fide tenants.

One of the exceptions to the new law is that if the bank sells the home to a buyer who will use the home as a primary residence, the bank can then furnish a 90-day notice of eviction to the tenants.

In regard to your liability as the landlord, if your tenants are evicted, you can be held liable for your tenants’ monetary damages, such as higher rent and moving expenses, due to the early termination of their lease.

What is the best way to know if your landlord is in foreclosure? If you just want to check once if your landlord is in foreclosure, you can easily check the county records – in the foreclosure process, a Notice of Default must be filed and is a recorded document. Here is also a site (Rentalforeclosure.com) that you can check to see if your landlord is in default (although according to at least one source, this site may not always be accurate).

And if you are concerned about monitoring whether your landlord is in foreclosure, there is a new service available from Lemonlandlord.com where it will monitor whether your landlord goes into foreclosure for something like $3/month.

Is it worth a few dollars a month to keep an eye on whether or not your landlord is in foreclosure?

Seems to make cents to me.
