Buying Greenville SC Real Estate Foreclosures, REOs, and Bank Owned Properties, Listings, and Homes for Sale

Normally before a Greenville South Carolina foreclosure is listed on the market, it first goes to the auction on the courthouse steps. In the past, the banks could almost always unload any of these foreclosed properties at the courthouse auction because the bank only needed to recover the outstanding balance on the mortgage.  

Although today’s foreclosure buyers can still purchase some of these homes below market value, however, the bad loans that were made in the past years have made it difficult for most of these homes to sell at the auction. In most cases the homeowner owes more on the property than it is worth, and the bank needs to recover as much or more than the market value of the property, which means that majority of these homes will not sell at the auction.

When a property does not sell at the auction, it is said to become an REO (Real Estate Owned) status by the bank. At this point, the bank would evict the homeowners, get a BPO (Broker Price Opinion), and list the property with a real estate agent. Some of these foreclosure properties are in good condition, and sometimes some lenders would make some updates like, new carpets, paint, sometimes replace appliances, and then try to sell it at market value. But, in majority of the cases, these homes are sold as-is, and they are usually in need of repairs and/or updates.

Greenville SC foreclosed properties that are in good condition and are priced right usually sell quickly, and some of them actually receive multiple offers. The ones that don’t sell fast just sit vacant. Since the bank has no hope of getting any mortgage payments, the longer it sits, the more motivated the bank gets.

If you are interested in purchasing a foreclosure, REO or short sale property in Greenville County, and are considering the value, you need to look closely at comparable sales in the neighborhood and be sure to take into account the time and cost of any repairs or remodeling needed to prepare the house for resale. Victor Amadi can help you with all the necessary homework before you proceed with an offer.

Selling does not always mean making a sale. You sometimes have to sell yourself, your quality, your brand, or your trust. The way you treat an individual can go a long way. Embedding your company logo into the heads of your clients will grow your business. Having a honest and trustworthy presence will allow clients to do business with you. There are many ways to sell real estate properties which don’t involve making a direct sale.

The below tips are common ways to sell real estate properties without making a direct sale, these are the actions which commonly lead to a sale. Let’s go over the ways to sell real estate properties without making a direct sale:

Personality. Personality is a great business tool. It makes you personable, approachable, and the right personality can charm anyone. Unfortunately, personality is rarely a characteristic which a person can develop or imitate, it is something a person is born with. However, most people have a personality, they just need a little help getting it to shine through. I have some tips for getting your personality to shine through. Practice makes perfect, so attend social events and conferences to network with others. Continue this routinely until social atmospheres become a comfort zone for you Always, smile inside. If you smile inside then it will appear you are always smiling outside. Think happy thoughts! When speaking face to face look a person in the eyes, without it being an uncomfortable stare. Stand still if you are one on one with someone, but if you are in a full room or crowded conference center then use slide presentations and move from one side of the room to the other while projecting your voice and connecting with all sides of the room. When talking over the phone, talk clear and pronounce your words. Take brief pauses and breathes between sentences and speak in a calm tone. Don’t always be about real estate, unloosen your tie sometimes and talk about yourself, your hobbies, and your interest – show your personality. Start a blog or newsletter which allows you to express your personality while promoting your real estate business Use Signatures. Placing your real estate property listing in your email signature can generate traffic for your listing. You should also place your real estate property listing in the signature of online forums and discussion boards, thus increasing the visibility of your real estate listing. Free Classifieds & Online Directories. There are an unlimited amount of free classified services and online directories. The most popular online classified service is Craigslist.org. Having a real estate property listing in Craigslist is known to yield results and deliver high traffic. Social Media & Bookmarking Networks. Social media and bookmarking networks are increasingly popular. These networks can deliver high levels of traffic, especially if you become popular and sociable within these type of networks. Submit your real estate listing to these networks. It is most beneficial to find social networks which are dedicated specifically to real estate, such as Active Rain Real Estate Networks. Organic Referrals. Referrals are very important, because this comes as a trusted body of resource. Referrals increase the chances of a sale. If a homeowner has done business with you in the past and you have a new listing for sale, then you should send an email to your past clients to inform them of your new listing and to please refer you to any of their family or friends that may be in the market for a new home. Most homeowners no someone in the market for a new home and are more than happy to recommend a real estate agent who they have had a pleasant experience with.

The above are great places to start for promoting your real estate listings without ever spending a dime. Penny pinching and only free advertising should never be your core business model, but in many cases it is unavoidable and every business goes through times when they need to save, so using the tips above should help you get the most out of your free marketing campaign.

You may think that negotiating with banks in order to get them to give you a discount on their property is practically impossible! It is possible and real estate investment deals go through with the bank every day. Here’s why.

Why You can Get Discounts on Default Properties

Banks are rated in their ability to work out deals with homeowner in default. That means they are rated for how much cash they hold in reserve to cover each mortgage should it default and how well they work with the homeowner in order to keep a property from foreclosing. Some banks may hold as much as 8 times the default mortgage in cash reserve, which for a standard 0,000 mortgage is as much as 0,000. They are required by law to cover that mortgage in case it goes sour. The banks can’t use this money, invest this money and they certainly can’t use the property. It just sits there tied up for as long as that mortgage is in their books.

So a bank will accept a short sale on a property or a mortgage note purchase primarily because of the reserves they are required to set aside. They want that money freed up so they can invest that reserve money and make profits.

Your best deals come from the bank right before the end of their fiscal year or right before their auditing.

How eager the Banks are to get rid of Default Properties!

A particular real estate investor was interested in a small home in default. The investor began discussions with the bank that held the homeowner’s mortgage to see if they could negotiate a deal. He was holding out for a sale price of ,500 on this property and he wanted to make the sale as a note purchase. The bank was being difficult. They didn’t want to sell the property that low and they wanted a short sale deal on this property. The deal didn’t work out all three parties went their separate ways.

About 6 months later the bank calls the real estate investor back up to see if he is still interested in buying the property. They were willing to let him have his previous price of ,500 and let him have the property mortgage through a note purchase. In fact the bank needed to do a note purchase.

They had foreclosed on the homeowner during those 6 months, but neglected to show up at the sheriff’s sale. This naturally messed up their foreclosure.

The only way they could sell the property was by a note purchase. There may have been a lot of investors interested in this property, but because the investor had been holding out for a note purchase six months prior the bank remembered him and called him up to see if he was still interested in investing that property. Even better the investor saw what a pinch the bank was in and managed to negotiate an even lower sale price on the note purchase of ,000.

Banks are not in the real estate business, they are in the money lending business. The only use foreclosure as a last resort to recover some of their money. This process takes a long time though and it’s messy. Banks are much more willing to sell the property, work with the homeowner or take discounted short sales and note purchase deals to recover their loan.
