East Valley HUD Homes Available for Sale

Ed Cassady (HomeSmart Gilbert) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:00:33 -0400

East Valley HUD Homes

The U.S. Dept. of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) sells homes or residential properties that they have become owners of because of foreclosure action on an FHA insured property. Almost anyone can buy a HUD home if they have the cash or can qualify for a loan (subject to certain conditions).

HUD Homes are sold by an electronic bid process. There is a priority period for buyers that are going to occupy the home as a primary residence. After the owner occuiped priority period is over then the usold homes are available to all buyers and investors.

We are registered with HUD to submit offers and purchase contracts on your behalf. HUD will also pay our commission.

There are special programs through the "Good Neighbor Next Door" sales programs in certain designated areas that offer discounted sale prices to law enforcement officers, teachers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians, nonprofits and local governments.

To view HUD homes in the East Valley or the Phoenix Metro Area call or email the Cassady Team at 480-229-6610 cell, 480-471-8466 office or email Ed@EdCassady.com.

Gilbert Arizona Short Sale Homes

Ed Cassady (HomeSmart Gilbert) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:25:01 -0400

Today, there are 1257 active Gilbert Arizona homes for sale on the Gilbert Arizona MLS. Of the active listings in Gilbert, about 38.3% or 482 of them are short sales. Bank owned homes account for 10.5% or 132 of the active homes for sale. That means about 49% of the homes listed for sale in Gilbert Arizona are distressed properties.

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is "What is a "Short Sale"? Basically a short sale is selling your home for less than what is owed to the lender or lenders and getting them to accept the lower amount. For most homes owners behind on their payments, a short sale is a way to avoid foreclosure. For buyers short sale may take extra time, but offer some really good bargains.

The Cassady Team has several sites dedicated to distress properties. www.AZForclosuresforsale.com and www.ShortSales4AZ.com deal directly with bank owned and short sale homes. We also have localized city sites like www.HomesforSaleGilbertAZ.com to view all of the homes available in Gilbert Arizona for sale. For more information or a free short sale home evaluation, please call the Cassady Team office 480-471-8466 or my direct number 480-229-6610. You can also email me at Ed@EdCassady.com.

Do You Claim to be the Top Real Estate Agent – Are You Sure?

Ed Cassady (HomeSmart Gilbert) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:37:52 -0400

Just who is the number one or top real estate agent? How do you become the number one real estate agent in your market? How can you become the top agent on the Internet? Is it by selling the most homes? Having the most listings? Does the top agent have more clients than any other agent? Does the number one real estate agent read ActiveRain? How many number one or top real estate agents are on ActiveRain? Are there any bottom real estate agents on ActiveRain? What happens if we are not really the top real estate agent?

I did a Google search for the top real estate agent and got 765,000,000 results. That's about 764 million more that we have REALTORS® in the US. Since Google included results for the individual words (top, real, estate, and agent) and other combinations of those words, I added quotes to the phrase. The search for "top real estate agent" came in with 108,000 sites that have that exact phrase. Does that mean that one out of every ten agents think that they are the top real estate agent?

Maybe I could do better by trying for the title of Number One Real Estate Agent. The number one real agent has a good sound to it. I wonder how many number one real estate agents are out there on the web? Search results for the term came in around 129,000,000 and using the quotation marks only 1,850. There is less competition for "number one real estate agent" over the term "top real estate agent". There seems to be a large number of agent sites that think they are either the top or number one real estate agent.

What about #2? How much competition would I have as the #2 or #3 real estate agent? Search results for "number two real estate agent" showed only four sites with the term. There were no sites with the term "number three real estate agent".

Where am I going with all of this? Well, what does a prospect think when they see so many making the same claims? Do they see these claims as boasts or deceptions?

The Internet is about SEO and search terms that prospects would use to search us out. How many prospects do you think actually start searching for homes by typing in "top real estate agent"? This can be a very good lesson about how SEO works. Yes, we want to be our client's number one real estate agent, but for them to find us on the Internet, we need to have a site contains original content and a good MLS or IDX search to help them find the home they are looking for.

By the way, after the Google bot passes through this post, I just might be on a top page for "number one or top real estate agent" search results!
