Easy Soft, has announced today the update of their popular software package Easy HUD. According to a press release the software is used by more than 10,000 attorneys nationwide. Dr. Rick Kabra, the CEO of Easy soft was quoted saying the following:
While preparing HUD forms was simple, balancing the closing, preparing disbursement checks and bookkeeping for trust accounts was always tedious and time consuming for law firms, especially smaller firms who do not have dedicated staff for each task. We are pleased to have eliminated all these processes with this new release. We serve more than 15,000 law firms and are known for our low cost, easy-to-use, innovative and time-saving programs that help law offices achieve automation.
According to the same press release the latest version of the software can:
automatically generate a Lender Statement listing each pre-disbursed/deducted item;
automatically generate escrow checks and a ledger statement listing all deposits/disbursements without any additional data entry (all required information is automatically extracted from 2 pages of HUD-1 or 1 page of HUD-1A);
automatically complete trust bookkeeping with Easy Trust program without any manual transaction entry;
place title order to any participating title agency and automatically save entered information as a partially completed purchase or refinance document;

save all settlement forms in PDF/Word format and email right within the program;
identify state charges for the more than 40 jurisdictions that are now built into the program; and

Easy Soft is a North Brunswick, NJ based company and has been developing legal software for the last two decades.
After announcing the list of Top 100 Real Estate Blogs, I realize that I left many are under the impression that this list will be published here on this blog. In yesterday’s post I just simply copied pasted the list from http://geekrealtors.com:
As you can see from the above screen shot, there are two main columns on the list. Named Property Links and Real Estate Blogs Top 100. Basically the entire page is produced from data we receive via API from websites like Technorati and Alexa. The Property Links column shows the latest post from the blogs on the list to the left- the Real Estate Top 100.
I do not anticipate to publish the entire list on my blog again any soon, so if you would like to see how your blog is doing you have to visit the above described page yourself. Please remember that the list will be updated once a week.
I know that creating the list I have missed many outstanding real estate blogs. If you have one feel free to submit it to me at vlad @ go-beyond-mls.com
A new website called 96short.com was launched today. The website is aimed at providing assistance to overextended homeowners in Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC. If you live in one of these areas and have fallen behind on your mortgage payment and are facing a foreclosure make sure to visit the website.
A short sale means selling your home for less than what is owed on the mortgage. Short sales can be a good deal for many borrowers - those with piggy-back mortgages, mortgages that exceed the current market value of the property and other overextended homeowners - provided the lender agrees to accept the proceeds of these short sales as payment in full
Matt Maritn, who is also the president of Matt Martin Real Estate, claims that his short sale team has closed on 10,000 of such transactions in the past fourteen years, effectively saving about $1,000,000,000 to customers.
Martin also quoted a real life example of how the short sale can help individual homeowners:
We met a great couple who had purchased a home in Bristow, VA, $630,000 at the height of the market in late 2004.They had taken a Pay Option or Negative Amortizing loan for the property and, when they contacted us, they owed close to $700,000 because of the negative amortization. The biggest problem was that the property was only worth $550,000 and, after fees and commissions, they would only be left with around $510,000 to pay towards the mortgage. We negotiated a short sale with the lender to write off the $190,000. The lender only asked for $5,000 in return for the write-down. The couple was then able to buy a new home in the same neighborhood for $200,000 less than what they were stuck with in their old home.
The idea to compile such a list was born a few months ago. Just as other similar top lists where appearing. After talking to Mark from 45n5- who is an outstanding programmer and internet marketer, a decision was made to bring the idea to fruition. Mark was in charge of programing the list, while my job was to find the blogs to be placed in the list- an easy job I should say for a former real estate agent.
So I present you today with GeerRealtors Top 100 Real Estate Blogs. It is a must bookmark page for many reasons. Not only will you be able to see who is who among real estate bloggers. You can also see the latest posts from the blogs featured on the list. If you are on the list this will give you an opportunity to see how your blog compares to your colleagues and/or competitors. Visit those blogs and see what are they doing that makes them more popular than yours.
If you visit the list, you will notice that there are actually more than 100 blogs.This means that you also can submit your blog, and then work your way to the top. If I have missed your blog feel free to submit your blog, and depending to the rankings elsewhere (Google Page Rank, Alexa Rankings, Technorati Rank) you may very well end up in the top 100. If not, you have some work to do.
The list will be updated once a week, so if you see N/A next to your blog, it means it was added after the last update. Just bookmark the Top 100 Real Estate Blogs and come to look at it one week from now. Finally I hope the list itself will bring you a visitor or two.
And now, without further ado, I present you with the first edition of Top 100 Real Estate Blogs:
This is not a real listing!!! This is how your listing will look on this website!
The White House is a grand mansion in the neo-classical Federal style, with details that echo classical Greek Ionic architecture. James Hoban’s original design was modeled after the Leinster House in Dublin, Ireland and did not include the north and south porticos. The presidential mansion is situated on the angled Pennsylvania Avenue at the 1600 block, down the street from the Capitol building, and so is given the address 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC.
Price: Not For Sale

As a token of my appreciation to my readers I have created a system called Free Classifieds at Go Beyond MLS- where any real estate agent can showcase their properties. I can’t promise you exposure via national TV stations, but you will have the share of 2,000+ monthly visitors to this website. Unfortunately there is a limit of how much I can give a way. If you decide to use this service, your classified ad will remain only 30 days. All I ask is to please let me know if your listing sells before the 30 day period is up. To use this service all you have to do is to fill out following form.
My next post, while being a bit humorous, will show you how your listing will look like on my website.
