Are you struggling with mortgage payments? 1 out of 10 homeowners are currently delinquent on their mortgage or they are facing the foreclosure process.

Short sales allow the financially challenged homeowner to repay the mortgage at the price that the home sells for, even though it is lower than what is owed on the property. With dropping home property values, this can save many homeowners from foreclosure and even bankruptcy. A Short Sale is much less costly for a lender than a foreclosure.

I am a REALTOR® not an investor. I am highly experienced working with banks and lenders – upper management and staff. I have trained on lender negotiations, process, and real estate finance for 20 years. I am a Certified Distressed Property Expert and I recently completed The Center for Asset Preservation certificate course detailing the new rules and regulations for the Making Home Affordable program. My Short Sale Comfort Level: HIGH!
