Why HUD Sales Are The New Gold Standard In Real Estate Sales

By Len Dietrich


According to statistics, 25% of all hud contract transactions submitted get canceled due to licensed agents crudely filling out the contract or missing a deadline for an extension. Why is this? How are you going to disclose to your prospect that they didn't get their ideal residence because 'you, as their agent, didn't know the process?



Nationally, the Housing And Urban Development processes aren't covered by any real estate guide currently offered. Here is some of what you need to know. Most licensed real estate agents don't realize that the HUD bidding and contract process is completely opposite from your standard real estate transaction. we have had real estate agents email their state contracts when submitting a proposal when, in fact, all the HUD bidding is done online. HUD deals aren't difficult. They just require a little extra attention to detail and you must be well versed in how to not only fill them out but also be aware when certain deadlines are and what forms are required by HUD to be presented.

Why HUD property sales are the new gold standard for opportunities. Statistic: About 9.1 percent of FHA borrowers had overlooked at least three payments as of December 2009, up from 6.5% in 2008, the agency's figures signify. The Federal Housing Admin does not make loans but insures lenders against losses. And claims have already accelerated. The agency had to pay out on 47% more loans in October and November 2009 than in the corresponding period a year earlier, according to an Federal Housing Administration write-up. The year 2010 will be elevated according to some analysts.

Why are hud sales the new gold standard for realtors? Two reasons:

* The banks engaged incompetent, untrained Robo-Sign'ers to advance foreclosures through the system. Trends show law suits are developing for these with lawyers jumping on the bandwagon to represent the former homeowner that was foreclosed upon and those attorneys are asking "Who really owned the note?" Former owners are suing the establishments, the title company, the lender, escrow and even the new current owner and their agent. Why does this matter? Because we are in uncharted waters and for years to come no bank selling an reo will be able to ensure that their property has a clear and marketable title. Be hesitant of touching an reo as you may find yourself in legal procedures for years to come.

* Housing and Urban Development assures a clean and marketable title. How? Because all FHA insured lenders have been paid, Federal Housing Administration repossessed the property and contracted hud to re-list the property. And, simply, because they are the federal government and, you have to ask to sue the federal government. The title company contracted by HUD is insuring the interest of the federal government. Need we say more?

More and more of the properties on the market are HUD homes. It's never been more urgent than now for agents to effectively execute and understand all HUD procedures.
