My Friends Buddy Has A Brother Whose Mother Bought A Foreclosure

Mark Zawaideh

Friday, May 29th, 2009 at 3:08pm. 161 Views, 1 Comments.

You Want The Truth?

It never fails when we start working with a new buyer, they come to us with the thought that banks are listing homes and then selling them for fifty cents on the dollar. I love their enthusiasm, and they always

have the story about how their friend has a buddy whose brother at work bought a $900,000 foreclosure for $250,000 and here's the best part, it didn't need anything but paint and carpet. It's hard not to LOL,(laugh out loud).

What they fail to realize on those "deals" is the fact that it was NEVER a $900,000 house, in fact it was only $900,000 because it was sold with the intent of getting some cash back on the deal and that was in 2006 or 2007, when it's real value was $650,000. Here we are 2…

$8,000 Tax Credit that doesn't have to be paid back!

To qualify for the tax credit, a home purchase must occur on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009.

The law defines "first-time home buyer" as a buyer who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase. For married taxpayers, the law tests the homeownership history of both the home…

Why I Left Coldwell Banker & Chose Keller Williams...

Mark Zawaideh

Friday, February 6th, 2009 at 1:47pm. 524 Views, 9 Comments.

There isn't a week that goes by that a real estate agent or a past client doesn't call me and ask how I like Keller Williams or why I left Coldwell Banker after spending my entire career with them. Most Realtors call me and wonder why, after finishing 2008 with 102 transaction sides, why would I leave?

I'm going to be perfectly honest. I am a salesman, and it's my job to be an expert at marketing for my clients, right? How can you honestly say you're an expert at marketing your clients properties if you can't even market yourself? So a couple years ago I decided to create the MARK Z. brand.

It was the most successful marketing strategy I have ever created. My clients all love the signs because you can't help but notice the real estate signs. This…

On January 13th, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac came out with even higher increases to the fees borrowers pay based on their credit scores.  Se my 1/24.09 blog for details.  The result will be higher rates and more fees to borrower's with lower credit scores.  Below are rates for a credit score of 720 or higher.

JUST LISTED $79,900 FORECLOSURE IN BLOOMFIELD

JUST LISTED! $79,900 IN BLOOMFIELD 

6915 Cedarbrook, Bloomfield Township, MI 48301

I can't believe the bank gave me authority to list this foreclosure for $79,900. THATS $34/SQ FT including the lot. UNBELIEVABLE!! I just put this on the market today. The SEV IS $137,080 WHICH MEANS CITY VALUE OF $274,000. It has 4 bedrooms with 2 1/2 baths and over 2,300 square feet. This is a great opportunity to get into a house and do the work yourself for a great investment.  The house obviously needs some work, but for this price and the square footage, even if you put $50,000 into the house you will still be way under value.  Call me to get a private showing at 248-937-1337. This may end up being one of the best deals in 2009!
