The Beach Show has a long history with PCBDaily.com.  I founded it more than two years ago with Karen Smith of Beachy Beach.  If you ask her, she’ll tell you The Beach Show has played a huge role in the growth of her business.

The Beach Show’s origin.

The whole idea behind The Beach Show was to bring you the best real estate deals to be had in Panama City Beach, each week.  Over the last two years, we’ve only missed a small handful of weeks and have increased the real estate exposure of the Panama City Beach area dramatically.  Tons of people have copied the idea and some have stood the test of time, but none have created the same amount of Buzz.

Karen’s career as she’s done The Beach Show

When her and I first started doing The Beach Show back in April 2009, she was an agent at Beachy Beach Real Estate.  At the time, it was owned by it’s original founder, a good friend of mine, Gabriel Stephani.  As she grew the brand of Beachy Beach with her natural pizzazz, she realized how much a part of her it really was.  She ultimately ended up purchasing it from Stephani in 2010 and began a quick and strategic growth.  Stephani went on to found Pineapple Properties and Karen now has several agents working for her and is having the best summer of her career.

The 100′th Episode of The Beach Show

The Beach Show is part of our Real Estate category where we talk a bit about real estate in the Panama City Beach area. This post originally appeared on The Beach Show which airs a new episode of super hot real estate deals each Wednesday morning.

You know, it never ceases to amaze me the kinds of real estate deals you can find out there.  This is definitely a buyer’s market.  A buddy of mine just closed on a fantastic little beach cottage in Laguna Beach for less than $60k – bank owned, one block from the beach.  The place is already rented, he had to do nothing to it!  Instant positive cash-flow is what it’s all about.

You may be a Realtor, you may be working with a Realtor, or you may not and still be looking to buy something.  But, you’ve got to keep an eye on these girls, they’re always coming up with some great deals.  And if you have the cash and good credit to be buying right now, that’s exactly what you should be doing.

This week on The Beach Show, those zany girls look at two steals on the gulf: a 3 bedroom in Emerald Beach for less than $400k and a 3 bedroom in Sterling Reef for $265k.  The third deal looks like an amazing home with gulf views in Seacrest Beach.

This week they have ALL THREE DEALS under $186k.  The first one is on a quaint lake in Riviera Beach – a 3 bedroom, 2 bath with a covered car port.  Hot deal number 2 is also in Riviera Beach, similar size as hot deal number 1, but it comes in at only $130k.  These two seem very nice for the price.  Deal three is a split floor plan with a HUGE master bedroom.

I am very excited about news coming down the pike as a Realtor and my happy news may well be good news for would be buyers and sellers of short sales. When someone calls me about a home and I, through gritted teeth, tell them that it is a short sale, I can just hear their eyes rolling in their head. Hopefully these new Treasury proposed guidelines will help us all.

The main reason for the gritting of teeth and the eye rolling is the unsure outcome and the long time frame in waiting for the bank to give us an answer on a short sale. The new guidelines proposed by the federal government for short sales will address this issue. The new rules will give lenders a 10 day limit to respond to offers, free borrowers from dept and even provide financial incentives to lenders.

As the housing slump enters its fifth year these guidelines should factor into helping us see the light at the end of our tunnel. To speed up the process the U. S. Treasury is calling for lenders to respond to short sale offers within 10 business days. Sellers would be eligible for $1500 in moving allowances and they will not be strapped with repayment of any dept.

To further encourage banks, lenders will get $1,000 to cover administrative costs, while investors owning the mortgages will receive a maximum $1,000 for allowing up to $3,000 in short sale proceeds to be distributed to less senior lenders. Loan servicers participating in the Obama Administrations Home Affordable Modification Program are required to follow the guidelines.

The plan that must be implemented by lenders no later than April may be too late for my short sale that has been waiting on a decision since last April. We have gone through 3 buyers and it looks like we are at an impasse and off to foreclosure we go even though we have a willing buyer and seller. The first and second position lenders are not being good playmates. It is my hope however that we will see a change for the better. There are some banks that are already doing the responsible thing and working hard to make this painful process as pleasant as possible. You can rest assured that I will be using my brand of getting even with those fellows!!!

So till next week you know the drill by now, “The only people we have to get even with are those that have helped us”…… So get busy and go get even.
