Austin, Texas (PRWEB) November 15, 2011

Regent Property Group has released a detailed profile of the Lago Vista community, The Hollows, located a short 30 minutes from Austin, to give prospective home buyers an idea of the lush amenities waiting a short drive from the rush of city life. Northwest Austin shares shoreline with Lago Vista along Lake Travis, where The Hollows development is located. The luxury home community doubles as a secluded homestead for Austinites seeking a peaceful retreat in the hill country and as a vacation spot for city dwellers who want an escape to nature they can reach before dinner time. The master-planned development spans 1,400 acres, and boasts over 18 miles of scenic hiking trails, a marina, a Beach Club, dining and bar-b-que facilities, swimming pools, and an array of private amenities available to property owners.

Brian Talley, the founder of Regent Property Group, is an expert on this hill country resort property, providing video tours and online information for those interested in real estate in beautiful Lago Vista, home to The Hollows community. Set apart from the city, the sense of a small town combined with proximity to Austin and the beauty of the lake, woods, and hills is tough to beat in terms of desirability, said Talley about the communitys draw.

The profile of the community includes detailed information about each amenity, including The Hollows Beach Club, a prime place for relaxing or spending time with friends and family. Active residents can wait until the evening to wind down at the Beach Club, as daytime offers volleyball, swimming, kayaking, boating, fishing, hiking, biking, and a fitness center to keep nature lovers entertained for a lifetime. A large covered marina housing motor boats, jet skiers, and sail boats is also available for property owners to house their water craft, refuel, or have a scenic picnic. Lake Travis has over 60 miles of shoreline to explore, most of which can only be reached by watercraft.

Saint Louis, MO (PRWEB) November 25, 2011

Joe LoPiccolo, Broker/Owner of American Realty Group, a real estate brokerage based out of St. Louis County, today announced the availability of a free, educational report for St. Louis homeowners which will help area residents understand their options when facing foreclosure. The report, which was launched earlier today on their website, will allow homeowners to become more knowledgeable about the various alternatives to foreclosure.

A Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), LoPiccolo pointed out that the long-term implications of foreclosure cannot be underestimated, and has developed a report entitled, Need a Helping Hand?

Nationwide, 10.9 million or 22.5 percent of all homeowners with a mortgage owe more on their property than its worth in the current market, and another 6.3 million are in some stage of foreclosure, noted Joe LoPiccolo of American Realty Group.

The downloadable report, which can be accessed from http://www.stlshortsaleexperts.com, offers St. Louis area homeowners an easy to understand, yet detailed informative list of frequently asked questions and solutions for those who are facing foreclosure and are exploring additional options. Any local homeowner in pre-foreclosure can benefit from reading the report and at the very least, begin making important decisions on how they want to proceed with their lenders.

Too often, the anxiety associated with missed mortgage payments and the fear of putting trust into the wrong hands, causes homeowners who are heading toward foreclosure to avoid seeking help or pursuing a short sale, LoPiccolo said.

This community resource defines foreclosure alternatives, including short sales, loan modifications and forbearance.

The holidays are a time of joy and family, but for many in St. Louis, this is also a time of increased financial strain, LoPiccolo said. With this report, Im helping homeowners in my community learn more about their options so they can have hope to carry them through the holidays.

The report highlights the benefits of a short sale, which occurs when the current market value of a home is worth less than what is owed on a mortgage and a real estate agent negotiates with the lender on behalf a financially strapped homeowner to accept a loan payoff that is less than the amount owed. While lenders were once reluctant to negotiate short sales, the current glut of foreclosed properties on their books has prompted an aggressive push to mitigate losses, and some are even paying homeowners significant cash incentives to make a fresh start on their lives after the close of the short sale, LoPiccolo explained.

The report also details other foreclosure alternatives such as mortgage modificationswhich is another process that the federal government and trade organizations are pushing to be streamlined and how it has become a viable solution for both struggling homeowners and lenders to find common ground in this challenging housing environment.

The CDPE Designation LoPiccolo has acquired provides real estate professionals with specific understanding of the complex issues confronting distressed homeowners. Through comprehensive training and experience, CDPE-designated agents are able to provide solutions for homeowners facing financial hardship in todays market.

“Taking twenty minutes of your time and reading this report should be the first step”, LoPiccolo stated.

The house buying procedure in Ottawa can be very puzzling and composite. Most people do find it supportive to appoint a Real Estate agent particularly because the seller usually pays the real estate agent’s commission. There is a lot of paperwork that they are very well-known with and it is second nature to an Ottawa real estate agent that has been effective in the business and has done many dealings. There is much other stuff that will be transpiring at the same time and it can be very helpful to have someone that is paying attention on this so you can hold your normal day to day business. Beside tons of paperwork it is also good to have someone conduct other parts of the deal like scheduling checking, appraisals, and the mortgage procedure and requesting repairs. This is all AFTER you have found the house you want to buy in Ottawa.

Finding your house and preparation schedules to see potential homes can be very time intense. Likely, the house that you are buying will be “listed” and the real estate agent you have appointed will have contact information and right to use to the most information about the home you are allowing for, not to mention the “know how” on talking the best contract for you and looking for facts about the house that you may overlook.

The Sellers Agent

One of the major reasons you would want to appoint your own Ottawa real estate agent is that the seller most likely has an agent of their own and you should have someone that is looking out for your top attention. A dual agency” which is when the same agent corresponds to both the purchaser and seller may previously have a strong relationship with the seller and may look out for their top importance, not yours. Not to state, the upper the sales price, the upper the commission and if you are using the sellers agent, they are receiving compensated for both ends of the deal. Some people are liable to believe if they use the selling agent it will save them money on bargaining a better contract by saving the seller from all those charges. Not true, they before now have an agreement with the seller and will basically be paid more for conduct both ends, it will NOT save you money, and any savings that would be negotiated will probable is the vendor’s savings.

The process

Regardless if you use an Ottawa real estate agent or not, try to publicize yourself with the procedure and ask questions of your agent, that is why you appointed them in the first place. Have them explain you comparables in the area before making a tender and be sure to remain the lines of statement open so you know what is happening.

Choosing an Ottawa Real Estate Agent

Remember that your Ottawa real estate agent only requires paid when and if the contract closes, you are not out any money up front or if not. Ask your friends or family for an appointment of an Ottawa real estate agent they faith or meeting a couple of special agents. You are hiring somebody to grip one of the major transactions you will ever make so be sure not to mend on just anyone.
