Why Real Estate

When I look back at life after high school, I would have never thought that I was going to be a Realtor.  I began working part-time for a local bank during high school.  While I was there I met a wonderful man named Bill who I will credit for helping me find my way and ultimately my career.

Bill was a regular at the bank.  He noticed how miserable I was and constantly told me I was in the wrong profession.  One day Bill handed me his wife's card and told me she was expecting my call.

I absolutely hated that job at the bank.  In preparation for Y2K (remember that!) the bank made all these changes to ensure that their computers would not crash.  The bank manager took this as her  opportunity to embezzle quite a bit of money and it didn't take long before the FBI showed up at my home questioning me and threatening to take me to jail... ON CHRISTMAS EVE!!

I immediately made the call to Bill's wife, interviewed and the following week I became the Office Administrator for a nationwide real estate firm.  I learned the business from the inside out.  I started off answering phones and scheduling appointments and soon enough I learned what it takes to get a listing, to service clients professionally in all markets and how to negotiate offers like a pro.  Listings weren't on the Internet yet so I watched agents hustle on a daily basis - going door to door, sending letters and making daily phone calls to build their contact base.  It didn't take long for me to realize that I love real estate.  I love meeting new people, I love making my own schedule and I love seeing the inside of houses and how they are decorated; upgraded and painted.

Several years ago I transferred my license from Pennsylvania to Delaware and I am currently a Realtor with Joe Maggio Realty in Rehoboth Beach, assisting those looking to Buy and Sell houses in Kent and Sussex Counties.

Can I List My Home For Sale if I am Late on Mortgage Payments

Many times a stroke of bad luck will come along and as hard as people try to stay afloat, they will fall behind on their mortgage payments.  Sometimes it just happens.  Change in job status, reduction of hours, medical disability... there are many reasons why good people fall behind. If this has happened and you are looking to sell your house but don't know where to start, remember that in most cases, the first step is list your house For Sale with a Realtor.  While listing your house For Sale By Owner may seem like a smarter way to go, it is usually just a waste of valuable time and resources (not to mention money paid for signs, advertisements, lockboxes, flyers, etc) The first thing you want to do is call a local Realtor who is familiar in Late Payments, Short Sales and Foreclosures.  A Realtor who is experienced in these types of listings will be able to explain the Short Sale process to you, come up with a plan of action and be able to list your home For Sale while working

Purchasing a Foreclosure

Many homes listed as Foreclosure properties are listed in the MLS.  These properties may need more work than a personal home sale but the repairs that are needed are usually taken into consideration when pricing the property. Many times when purchasing a Foreclosed property, the bank has already completed an inspection on the property so they are aware of any issues.  If this inspection was done, it will be available to you.  It is recommended that you complete an inspection of your own as well. In many cases, a Buyer will be able to get a Sellers Assist when purchasing a foreclosed property as well as a special loan that can help offset the costs of repairs. It is recommended that you call a Realtor who has experience working with Foreclosed properties.
