New Report for Homeowners Seeking to Avoid Foreclosure

Cynthia has developed a website providing information describing several opportunities for homeowners to avoid the negative financial impact of foreclosure, starting with mortgage modification. This community resource is available at www.shortsaleyelm.com and defines foreclosure alternatives, including short sales, loan modifications and forbearance. The holidays are a time of joy and family, but for many in Thurston and Pierce counties this is also a time of increased financial strain. With this report, Cynthia is helping homeowners in my community learn more about their options so they can have hope to carry them through the holidays. Foreclosure alternatives such as mortgage modifications and short sales—both processes the federal government and trade organizations are pushing to be streamlined—have become prime solutions for both struggling homeowners and lenders to find common ground in this challenging housing environment. At this time of year, distressed homeowners are easily overwhelmed by finances, obligations and the added stress of the holidays. The best course of action for homeowners looking for options is to gather more information. The report available on Cynthia’s site is a strong first step. The CDPE Designation Cynthia Schmier has acquired provides real estate professionals with specific understanding of the complex issues confronting distressed homeowners. Through comprehensive training and experience, CDPE-designated agents are able to provide solutions for homeowners facing financial hardship in today’s market.
