The Bill Fitzgerald Team wants to help 50 Families avoid Foreclosure:

There are many families in our area faced with losing their homes to foreclosure.  In some cases a loan modification is possible, but for most, if they are behind on their payments a foreclosure is looming.  The alternative to foreclosure is the “short sale”.  In a time where property values are on the decline, often times a home is worth less than what was paid for it, thereby necessitating the bank and the seller to sell “short”.  While not an ideal situation, but in a time of de-valuing home prices, it could be the best possible option for both the home owner and the bank.

The Bill Fitzgerald Team has dedicated 2009 as the year of the “short sale”.  Our team would like to help 50 distressed families avoid foreclosure by short sale selling their homes.  In order to meet this objective, we need all our business partners and friends to be on the alert for families that may be in trouble and to refer them to us.  We begin with a FREE NO OBLIGATION confidential consultation, explaining the short sale process.  If the home owner wishes to proceed, we ask for a list of important documents such as pay stubs, tax returns, and bank statements.  Once the information is provided, we begin the marketing process.  Upon offer and acceptance of a contract, The Bill Fitzgerald Team begins negotiations with the mortgage lender.  If the lender accepts the price, terms and conditions of the contract, a closing date is set and the buyer takes ownership.  In some cases, mortgage lenders may issue a deficiency judgment for the amount owed, but in many cases, lenders may write off the deficiency, thereby salvaging the seller’s credit.  In either case, the outcome is better than the damage caused by a foreclosure.

If you or someone you know is faced with mounting debt and perhaps the loss of their home due to foreclosure, please contact The Bill Fitzgerald Team immediately.  The cost is free.  Our fee is paid by the lender and we only get paid if the transaction closes!  For more information about short sales or to schedule a confidential consultation, please call Bill Fitzgerald at 850-814-2814.

Because of the vast open over water ranges, Tyndall is an ideal location to conduct pilot training and air-to-air weapons evaluation. The Wing also trains air battle managers to provide command and control expertise throughout the Air Force in a variety of operations centers. Tyndall Air Force Base is also home to First Air ForceAir Combat Command, Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia.

The Navy also operates an Experimental Dive Unit to develop and test state of the art dive equipment and procedures. The Navy Coastal Systems Station is also the test and evaluation location for anti-mine warfare activities.

We are very appreciative of the men and women that train and conduct military missions from our two bases, but Bay County and the Panama City area offers much more.

Real Estate Tips
Making An Offer >Bargaining

You found a house that seems perfect and you really love it. The chemistry is there, and the price is right. If you are like many buyers, you start off by asking the real estate agent if the sellers will take less than they are asking.

A real estate agent doesn't know what the sellers' bottom price is. The sellers often don't know themselves until they get an offer. In many cases, the price is negotiable, but the only way to test it is to make the sellers a written offer to accept or counter.

Attractive, well-priced homes usually sell quickly in any market. If you get involved in offers and counter offers, another buyer could come in with a better offer while you are negotiating back and forth. If you cannot qualify for financing at the asking price and you are willing to risk losing the house, you can make a lower offer. But if it will break your heart to lose a home you really love and you can afford it, it may be better to avoid bargaining and simply pay the asking price.
