View a home without leaving your house!

A new listing comes on the market that catches your eye. The interior photos look bright and inviting, while the exterior shots show well cared for landscaping that give the home great curb appeal. This could be the one you've been waiting for!

You immediately call your realtor and set up a personal showing for the next day. After taking off a little early from work to see the home in good daylight, you arrive at the property.

What awaits you is the dissapointing realization that your dream home is locating directly next to a busy gas station!

Of course this situation could have been avoided if you or your real estate agent had previously driven by the property, but often due to busy schedules it is hard to find the time. A more simple solution is to utilize a couple of online websites to view the exterior of most homes from your computer desk!

The first website I would recommend that you use is Google Maps. Simply type in the address of the location you are interested in. You will first be given an overhead street view of the neighborhood. This alone can help reveal the property's true location. I've included photos of the Capitol Building in Madison Wisconsin for dramatic effect!

Now, use the ‘+' sign on the left hand side of the screen to zoom to a closer overhead view. When you get close enough, Google Maps will actually convert your the view into a Street View. This will show you what the home looks like from street level. You can even turn left or right to look up and down the street.

For overhead shots, I actually prefer what Bing Maps has to offer. This site has more clear overhead views. You simply need to select ‘Birds Eye' from the menu at the top. On this site you are able to rotate your view by 90 degrees at a time. This can give you an idea of how large the trees in the backyard are, if the house has a fenced in yard, or where the shed is exactly located.

Using sites like these is just another tool a potential home buyer can use to narrow down the field of potential properties. I use this tool as a realtor almost every day and it really has helped me be that much more efficient. I hope it can help you as well!

WORRIED ABOUT FORECLOSURE?

We want you to realize that your situation is not hopeless, regardless of what you might be thinking or may have been told by others. Your lender is not looking for an excuse to foreclose. The truth is most lenders would rather have you keep your home and keep making payments each month. You are not alone. Thousands of people across Wisconsin have similar issues with their mortgages every year.

The most important key to resolving your situation is being proactive. Even if your mortgage payments are just a few months behind, your lender has probably already started foreclosure proceedings against you. Doing nothing is the fast track to foreclosure. Thousands of dollars in penalties and legal fees may be added to your balance due. The longer you wait, the harder it is for us keep foreclosure off of your records.


WHAT IS A SHORT SALE?

You may have heard of a transaction called a short sale. This is just one tool that Rock Realty uses to help WI home owners keep foreclosure off of their credit. With a short sale, sellers avoid having to go through a lengthy foreclosure process and prevent the impact of a foreclosure on their credit score.

A short sale occurs when a lender agrees to take less than the amount owed to payoff a loan as an alternative to foreclosure. Lenders know that it will cost them a significant amount of money to take a property back. The real estate agents at Rock Realty can often convince them that they will be better off financially if they sell the property now rather than taking the home through foreclosure and trying to sell it later. So, a short sale can actually be good for them.

WE CAN HELP!

Our first priority is to help homeowners overcome the obstacles that could result in the loss of their home. We specialize in helping homeowners who have fallen behind on their mortgage payments. We've helped people in Dane County & Rock County, from Beloit to Janesville and north of Madison. You deserve a fresh start. If you are facing the possibility of foreclosure and you live in South-Central Wisconsin, we can help you.

Michael Collins Completes Prestigious RSD Designation to Specialize in Bank Owned Homes

Michael Collins in Janesville WI, has earned the prestigious Harris Real Estate University Certified Real Estate Owned Specialist Designation (RSD), having completed extensive training in the techniques necessary to secure, negotiate and sell (REOs).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 28, 2011 – Michael Collins Completes Prestigious RSD Designation to Specialize in Bank Owned Homes

April 1, 2011 Michael Collins, Broker of Rock Realty in Janesville, has earned the prestigious Harris Real Estate University Certified Real Estate Owned Specialist Designation (RSD), having completed extensive training in the techniques necessary to secure, negotiate and sell Bank Owned Properties (REOs). This REO training is invaluable during the current recession, especially in housing markets where foreclosure rates continue to climb.

A property becomes an REO if the original owner fails to pay their mortgage and the lending bank is forced to repossess it. The bank then reaches out to qualified REO designated brokers and agents to sell the home and recover their investment. Without access to experienced REO Listing agents, lending authorities must continue to hold onto the foreclosed property as an investment loss.

“The Harris Real Estate University RSD designation has been invaluable as I work with banks and lenders on complicated BPO & REO assignments. In Janesville Wisconsin, an increasing number of homes are in some stage of foreclosure. And it is happening with homes of every price range,” said Michael Collins, “It is so rewarding to be able to help banks rehabilitate these homes, get them back on the market, and find eager homebuyers so we can improve the condition of our neighborhoods. My RSD training through HREU has enabled me to work with more lenders, move more properties and get some of these vacant homes sold!”

Tim and Julie Harris, founders of the Harris Real Estate University in Las Vegas, NV, said “Realtors such as Michael Collins with the HREU RSD designation have valuable training in REO properties and can help banks find qualified buyers using our extensive techniques. Through our in-depth training and continuous education programs, these agents better understand market conditions that will help lenders appraise their properties through a BPO and eventually sell their REO inventory.”

The Harris Real Estate University opened in 1998 and provides REO agent training through webinars, teleseminars and teleconferencing. Agents can earn their HREU REO Listing Designation remotely from their offices all across the nation. The RSD is the premier designation for Realtors who develop an expertise in Bank Owned properties.

“Our goal is to prepare our enrolled agents for the increasingly competitive REO market. It’s becoming more difficult for uncertified agents to out-sell our graduates. Our comprehensive RSD Designation gives them everything they need to gain an edge over other agents in their communities,” Harris said.
