We’re all in the same boat

March 17th, 2009 · No Comments · macomb county MI, macomb county mi real estate market

I’m not ashamed or embarrassed to admit to my callers that my home has also lost value (what an understatement) nor that my husband and I would love to move to a condo in Macomb County but would not be able to sell our home in this market.

Sometimes when I hear the stories from you about your own personal experiences I just want to sit and cry. The frustration, the sadness, the anger that comes out in all of your personal stories causes an ache inside of me that I know I will carry forever.

Just so you know: We’re all in the same boat. Real estate agents, mortgage professionals, home inspectors, title company representatives - all of us who own homes are aching.

Please don’t be embarrassed to talk to us about your own situation. Heck, I’ll even admit to you that I wouldn’t put my home on the market right now unless there was a job relocation in store for my husband. We’ll stick it out, wait for the market to correct (It will - It will) and then purchase the condo that we both long for.

Kris Wales: Hi Karen, You have several different issues with this one: Making the payments but not being on the note for the home, and your husband being on the deed of the home. I am not sure if there is any difference in the way a foreclosure would be treated in this instance (with the passing away of the relative who signed the note) or not. You could be considered a tenant, and yet your husband is on the deed, so the interpretation may be different. What you need is good legal advice. Most first consultations are free. If you want me to send you contact information for an attorney in Macomb County please feel free to email me and I will do that for you. Good luck to you, Kris Wales Kris@Chataboutmacomb.com

Karen Lowe: Hi, I have been living in a home for 15 years the **mortgage** only is in someones name who passed away I have been making the payments and went to the bank to try to assume mortgage i was told by the broker to get a loan of my own and let the house go, at this time i am still making payments but cant get caught up as deceasaed was 2 months behind I been trying to catch up since last july when the mortgagee passed, will this property go though the normal foreclosure process of redemption periods and sherrif sale if she is deaceased, my husband in on the deed only!

Kris Wales: Hi Deborah, It sounds like you have 2 distinct issues that need to be answered by a mortgage professional, one that is familiar with the MSHDA down payment program. Please call Michelle Cyplik at 248-601-1349 ext. 206. She's my "go to" gal when it comes to MSHDA. I'm sure she would be happy to answer your questions about what is applicable in your case - no pressure. Good luck, Kris Wales
