A crowded room at the 5 Star Conference this week erupted as Gabriele Harrison announced that Fannie Mae will be using asset management companies to handle their companies short sale requests in the future. Fannie Mae, the single biggest player in the mortgage market, will be informing clients that they will need to work with asset management companies when “short selling” their property.

An asset management company acts as a middle man between the banks that own the mortgage and the client that is trying to short sale the property. Asset management companies are already big players in the Foreclosure market, but up until now have not worked with short sale properties. The change that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are making should have some positive effects. Because most major banks use them for their foreclosed on properties, making the shift to Short Sale homes should be fairly straightforward. Using one company for all short sales will also streamline the process and speed up the time it takes for a client to short sale their house.

However, the new process is not great news for everyone. Since the housing collapse in late 2006 real estate agents have struggled to stay afloat, many agents have turned to short sales and working with distressed properties to help them stay afloat during the down market. When Fannie and Freddie start working exclusively with the asset management companies they will essentially be cutting out these agents. Fannie and Freddie currently own roughly half of the mortgages in America, if other big banks follow the lead small real estate agents will be all but cut out of the picture.

Details on the short sale process are still to come. We have put in calls to Mrs. Harrison (Fannie Mae) and Mrs. Beckles (Freddie Mac) however they were both unavailable for comment. We will keep you up to date on all the new developments as they come. We are still doing research but thought this information was worth sharing even in its primitive state.

There are some major changes that participants and attendees of the parade should be aware of. To cut down on parade costs, the distance the parade travels has been cut in half. The parade will now start out on Guadalupe road and run to Hackmore Street. Because of the shorter distance money will be saved on police monitoring, road blocks and trash containers. Also paved school district lots will be used to stage parade participants instead of the dirt that was used previously. This will cut down on costly dust mitigation.

The Gilbert Town Council voted last night 7-0 to put the parade back on due to the new funding received by the parade committee. The next hurdle is getting word out that the parade is still on. So tell your friends and enter your business to be in the parade for only 250$ this Nov 14th!
