The Karten Group

Visited Vegas to look for a seasonal home. Mark showed us a great bank owned town home in a gated community!
We made an offer which the bank accepted and it was closed within 30 days.

Ok so my husband I want to move back east and needed to sell our house. Since the housing market in Vegas is craptastic our options were foreclose or short sale (the banks wouldn’t even look at us for loan mods because 1) we weren’t behind on payments and 2) we both make good money but I can rant about the damn banks all day. ANYWAY…)
We started out using a realtor that we personally knew and had our house listed with that person for over a year. During that time we had 2 offers and the banks would not work with us. After having our house listed with this person for about 9 months and having 2 sales fall through, my dad suggested that we attend one of Mark Karten’s informational sessions on short sales.
O.M.G. I am sooo glad we went! Not only did we learn that our current realtor had provided us with incorrect information (that would have allowed us to sell our home with limited liability to us) but we realized that this person was not well versed AT ALL in the short sale process. After setting up a meeting with Mark and Cynthia (one of the realtors at TKG), we decided to change to them.
Again O.M.G. WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! First of all, the pictures that Cynthia took of our house were amazing and the slide show that she created was awesome! We started getting calls for showings right away. We listed with Cynthia at the end of August 2010, got an offer in January of 2011, got bank approval like 2 weeks later (I know, miracle right!!) and we closed on our house today.
Throughout the entire process, both Mark and Cynthia were available for questions about anything. Cynthia even helped us in our search to find a rental home after we sold our house. They are very quick to respond to any e-​mails, texts, or phone calls and are always friendly and upbeat. And for all you techies out there… all the paperwork was electronic! No faxing, no scanning, you get set up in this system and it notifies you when you have papers to sign, you go in, sign electronically, and then you can save a copy to your computer. Even if you don’t want it, Shelley Karten, the Office Admin, will give you a cd of all your documents once the entire process is complete. How is that for being green! :)
So obviously I can go on and on about what a great experience we had with Mark and Cynthia so I am just going to close with if you are looking to short sale your home or buy a short sale, give Mark or Cynthia Ward a call at TKG. All they do are short sales so they know whats what!
