This is the situation thousands of families are dealing with as the housing market tumbles. One option that's becoming more popular is a short sale.

Basically, the short sale is when the lending company handling the mortgage accepts a payoff for less than the amount owed. The homeowner avoids the consequences of a foreclosure.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. In a situation where a homeowner is behind in mortgage payments, looking at possible foreclosure, a short sale provides a way out.

“There are some short sales out there that are great deals where the banks are maybe wi...

Potential buyers take a look at one of six homes in West Ashley on ChuckTown Homes' first foreclosure bus tour.

To learn about upcoming foreclosure bus tours, see the web site at chucktownhomes.com

Ethel Campbell says she and her husband are going to try to buy one of the six homes they saw on ChuckTown Homes' foreclosure bus tour Saturday.

But she doesn't want to stir up any competition, so for now, she isn't going to say which one.

The couple owns a house in Summerville, but the pair wants to purchase another to provide a home for their son, who might relocate to Charleston, she said.

The tour was a great way to go house- hunting, she said. 'We really liked that we c...

House Buying Strategies in Charleston's Down Market

There are some special considerations when looking to buy a home in Charleston's buyer's market

When the housing market is slow, referred to as a "buyers' market," there are typically more houses for sale than buyers interested in purchasing them. Anxious sellers may reduce their prices and offer concessions to lure buyers in.

That can make it a great time to buy -- but don't throw caution to the wind. To get the best deal, evaluate whether you're truly read to buy, learn the ins and outs of the market, consider the pros and cons of buying a foreclosed home, and take advantage of market conditions wh...

Realtors display courage tracking down man accused of attempted West Ashley kidnapping

The dirt-encrusted five pound weight was just there in an alley, no telling for how long. Donald Russell picked it up almost without thinking.

Now, it’s a keepsake, a memory of the strange events of Jan. 18.

Russell, a partner in Chuck Town Homes real estate agency, and associate Jeremy Wilson would chase after an alleged violent crime suspect near their Savannah Highway office. Russell would corner the suspect -– a homeless man who allegedly had entered a car wielding a pocket knife and demanded a ride from a woman driver.

Both Wilson and Russell acknowledge that this was out of the ordinary. Bu...

From energy tax credits to vacation home deductions, check out these tax tips for Charleston homeowners looking ahead to 2010 returns.

Claim remaining energy tax credits

It's time to get cracking if you didn't exhaust your full allotment of residential energy tax credits during 2009. Although tax credits for big projects like residential wind turbines and solar energy systems have no upper limit and are good through 2016, energy tax credits capped at $1,500 expire at the end of 2010. Eligible capped projects include new windows and doors, insulation, roofing, water heaters, HVAC, and biomass stoves.

Here's how it works with capped federal credits: You can earn energy tax credits wor...

Okay...I know you are thinking why is there a blog on a Real Estate website about where to find the best deal on a Christmas Tree in Charleston, South Carolina. Well...it is because I spent 3 hours hunting one down the other night with my wife, son, and dog Jasper and I thought it may save someone else a little bit of time.

Less than 10% of Real Estate agents are making a living in Real Estate...be sure you find one that is!!! You do not want a new or part time agent...there are too many things that can go wrong in transactions these days...not to mention you need...

OK, now that you have a very basic understanding about some basic terms and putting in an offer on an REO let's talk about how to find some of the best deals.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

First, of course, you should find a Realtor that is experienced and knowledgeable in buying and selling general real estate IN ADDITION to being experienced in REO's. I would highly suggest an agent that has worked both sides of these transactions...buying from banks and selling for banks. There are not many of these agents out there and always be sure to make sure they can back up what they say!! What banks have they listed and sold...
