Auction Lite - our fastest growing real estate solution!



AUCTION LITE

Pay just HALF commission… or NONE at all!
Sell in DAYS, not months.
Get MULTIPLE offers, not just one.
Sell for MORE, not less.
No gimmicks, no fine print. Here’s how…

What are the top reasons to work with a trusted real estate broker?
Results-driven marketing, negotiation expertise and qualified closing representation.

Now, what are the top reasons to auction your home?
Multiple qualified buyers, a quick sale, and more important — paying less in commissions.

Now there’s a revolutionary new way to do real estate that combines the BEST of traditional real estate and the BEST of auctions! It’s called Auction Lite, and it’s only available through 24by7bid Realty!

That’s right, you get the BEST of both worlds. You are represented by a broker who has hundreds of successful closings and has worked with hundreds of unique clients. Plus, you get the benefit of their complete professional marketing team that will bring tons of exposure (and lots of showings and ultimately several offers) to your home.

In addition, because Auction Lite works similarly to an auction, you have the option of paying only HALF or even ZERO commission!

Full representation AND reduced commissions — No wonder Auction Lite is our fastest growing real estate solution!

In addition, because Auction Lite works similarly to an auction, you have the option of paying only HALF or even ZERO commission!

With traditional real estate, for weeks and months, you have to keep your home at showroom quality. You wait and wait for an offer. Then when one finally comes, in many cases the financing kills the deal.

Auction Lite is like traditional real estate on steroids. You’re no longer waiting, you’re SELLING! In most cases, Auction Lite brings multiple offers on your property within 15 days or LESS! Plus, rather than meeting with different agents and different buyers and juggling paper contracts, everything is done from the comfort of your home or office.

Want more advantages? Here you go.
  • With Auction Lite, your house only shows when you want it to. No more running around and cleaning for an hour for a last minute showing.
  • Prospective buyers are approved online — so you only deal with people qualified to buy!
  • There is ZERO risk to you because the seller reserves the right to accept or reject the highest bid.
  • Plus, you benefit from aggressive Internet marketing campaigns, unlimited image uploads as well as YouTube videos of your home, and the entire process is eco-friendly since it’s all online without paper and waste.

Another difference you’re sure to notice is what happens once the auction starts. Human beings are naturally competitive, and an online auction brings this competitive fire to the surface! The result: You get higher offers, even exceeding the negotiated sale price.
Our highly trained Real Estate professionals are eager to help you in all aspects of your Real Estate business. Call us today to learn why Auction Lite is the real estate option for you.

Serious Delinquencies Decline, Foreclosure Rates Steady

Serious delinquencies are on the decline, while foreclosures have steadied at 5.5 percent, according to recent data from Foreclosure-Response.org, a joint venture of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, the Urban Institute, and the Center for Housing Policy.

Among the 100 largest metropolitan areas, serious delinquencies – those 90 days or more past due or in foreclosure – declined from 10.4 percent to 9.3 percent from its December 2009 peak to June 2011.
The decline in serious delinquencies can be attributed to a decline in delinquent loans, according to Foreclosure-Response.org, which states delinquencies fell from 5.5 percent at the end of 2009 to 3.7 percent in mid-2011.
Areas experiencing higher rates of serious delinquencies include Florida, California and some areas of New Jersey, the Great Lakes region, and the South.
Areas with lower rates of serious delinquencies include Texas, the Central and Mountain Time zone regions, and some areas of the Pacific Northwest.
Seventeen of the top 25 metros ranked for serious delinquencies and four of the top five are located in Florida.
While serious delinquencies decline, foreclosures have “flat-lined,” according to Foreclosure-Response.org. The foreclosure rate has stayed at about 5.5 percent over the three quarters ending in June.
The two metros experiencing the greatest decline in foreclosures are in California – Riverside (1.9 percent) and Stockton (1.7 percent).
In contrast, metros in Florida, New York, and Illinois are seeing rising foreclosure rates. Tampa saw a 2.8 percent increase from December 2009 to June 2011, while Chicago saw a 2.3 percent increase, and New York saw a 2.1 percent increase.
Foreclosure-Response.org notes that these three states are judicial states, which “can create a significant backlog of foreclosures.”
“The foreclosure inventory that is building up is going to take an incredibly long time for lenders to clear,” said Urban Institute research associate Leah Hendey. “At the current pace of foreclosure sales, we are looking at a process that could take decades to complete.”
“It is critical that the status of these properties be resolved quickly if we want to stabilize communities and housing m

arkets,” Hendey continued. (Krista Franks - dsnews.com)

Fannie Mae: Economy Is Growing, But Momentum Will Wane

While the euro-zone crisis continues to depress the economic outlook here stateside, the U.S. economy is growing and we will see “a decent close to a tough year,” according to a fourth-quarter report from Fannie Mae.

The fourth quarter will end with more than 2.5 percent economic growth, making it the best-performing quarter in 2011.
Fannie Mae also notes that 140,000 private sector jobs were added in November, while September and October employment data was revised upward.
The report also mentioned “slight improvements in housing.”
However, Fannie Mae predicts the positive momentum will slow as we move into the new year.
Second and third quarter data for wages, salaries, and real disposable income were revised downward.
Additionally, consumer spending rose, surpassing income growth, which caused the saving rate to fall from 4.8 percent to 3.8 percent in the third quarter. This is the lowest saving rate since the fourth quarter of 2007. (Krista Franks - dsnews.com)
