You need to think of your house as a marketable commodity. Property. Real estate. Your goal is to get others to see it as their potential home, not yours. If you do not consciously make this decision, you can inadvertently create a situation where it takes longer to sell your property.

The first step in getting your home ready to sell is to “de-personalize” it.

RE/MAX Honored for Commitment to

Military Families

Company Recognized as Top Military Spouse Employer (Denver, CO September 20, 2010) For the fourth year in a row, in recognition of its commitment to military families, RE/MAX has been named a Top Ten Military Spouse Friendly Employer by Military Spouse magazine. This year’s Top Ten was selected from a pool of more than 2,500 large companies, and RE/MAX, once again, is the only real estate company to make the list. “Military spouses make excellent, dedicated employees,” says Dave Liniger, RE/MAX Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board. “They are sacrificing for our country, and RE/MAX hopes to make the lives of military families a bit easier at a most difficult time.” The innovative military employment program, Operation RE/MAX, has been helping military spouses and former military personnel find jobs in real estate for the past four years. Created in cooperation with the Department of Defense, the program matches members of the military community with volunteer RE/MAX brokers, who have made a commitment to coach, train and mentor military personnel. As a result of the success of Operation RE/MAX, the company was honored with the Office of the Secretary of Defense Exceptional Public Service Award in 2007. The prestigious award is one of the highest given to civilians, and was presented to Gail Liniger, Co-Founder and Vice Chairman of the Board, in a special Pentagon ceremony. Operation RE/MAX has earned the cooperation of over 500 military installations and enlisted the support of more than 700 individual RE/MAX offices. Most importantly, it has placed more than 1,100 military spouses in jobs all over the world. “Military spouses have a desire to perform well, a dedication to get the job done, and they honor their commitments,” says Liniger. “In the real estate profession, military spouses have a built-in clientele because they have a personal relationship with many families who are moving regularly and trust them.” –more– Military Spouse magazine’s October 2010 issue.

The Treasury plan provides incentives for lenders and homeowners to complete Short Sales – transactions in which the lender agrees to a sale price that’s less than the borrower owes on the mortgage. Short Sales are preferred to foreclosure because homeowners may take less of a hit on their credit and lenders realize a smaller loss.

However, Short Sales often get bogged down because of the complicated nature of the transaction. Deals can fall through because the process takes too long.

Under the plan, which speeds up and simplifies the Short Sale process, mortgage servicers have 10 days to approve or reject a request for a Short Sale. And when the sale is done, the borrower must be fully released from the debt of the primary mortgage.

Read more details of the Treasury plan.

The plan is a positive step for the real estate market and for communities across the country, RE/MAX CEO Margaret Kelly says. RE/MAX has been advocating simplified Short Sales for more than a year and has been actively working with U.S. government officials, including legislators and the Obama administration.

“Foreclosures have played a major role in keeping housing values down,” Kelly says. “This will help the market return to normal, stabilize prices, improve neighborhoods and prevent hundreds of thousands of homeowners from suffering the agony of being evicted from their homes. It should also play a role in the continued recovery of the economy.”

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have issued their own Short Sale guidelines, which are similar to the Treasury plan, but different in some respects.
