The Country Club of Lakewood Ranch Owners Who Are Facing Foreclosure Determine Short Sale Is the Better Option In Bradenton Florida

The bursting of the housing bubble has led to falling property values, a historic rise in unemployment, and increasing foreclosures throughout the Florida Gulf Coast region, including Manatee and Sarasota Counties. The mortgage crisis knows no boundaries and cuts across all social and economic lines. Unfortunately, many homeowners at The Country Club of Lakewood Ranch are finding themselves in a position they never would have expected to be in just a few short years ago -- facing imminent foreclosure.

This educated and savvy group of property owners understands that they are not the cause of the circumstances leading up to the mortgage debacle, so they are smart enough not to berate themselves for their circumstances, but are going into "damage control" mode in order to minimize the negative impacts upon themselves and their families.

Here's the testimonial of one Lakewood Ranch homeowner who successfully executed a short sale at no cost to themselves using the services of the SaraMana preForeclosure Short Sale Assistance Team:

Successfully Avoided Foreclosure -- Lakewood Ranch, FL

I first listed my home with another company, but they weren't able to get it sold. Due to circumstances beyond our control we were forced to close our business. I paid on our mortgage for as long as I could, but without a regular income we eventually fell many months behind on our $800,000 mortgage.

As a businessman myself, the thing I liked about John and his team right from the start is that they were up-front with me from the beginning -- they didn't try to sugar-coat the situation and I could just tell that they knew what they were doing.

As it turned out, my bank was extremely difficult to deal with, because they kept insisting the property was worth $150,000 more than the current market value -- you try selling a property currently worth around $450,000 for $600,000 and see how far you get!

SaraMana kept working on the bank -- sending comparable property statistics, sending photos, sending local newspaper articles, sending regular neighborhood sale updates -- they were relentless. Finally, after months, they were able to bring the bank around to reality.

The biggest compliment I could give John and his team is this, They did exactly what they said they would do! The first broker I tried talked a good game, but couldn't produce. In the end, SaraMana found a cash buyer, and got my bank to accept a sale price that was over $330,000 less than my mortgage balance!

Advantages of Short Sale vs. Foreclosure Chosen By Homeowners in Miramar Community at The Country Club of Lakewood Ranch Florida

Many area property owners find themselves shaking their heads and wondering what to do. Few anticipated the mortgage crisis, or the impact it would have on the local real estate prices, including those in Miramar at the Country Club of Lakewood Ranch.

In a curious turn of events, both homeowners and lenders alike are choosing Short Sales vs. Foreclosure. Owners obviously benefit greatly by substantially decreasing the damage to their credit, and by avoiding the long-term, overhanging debt of a Deficiency Judgment. Lenders benefit by avoiding the added legal and administrative expense that pursuing and securing a foreclosure entails. Both are finding Short Sales a "win-win" proposition.

That said, lenders are loathe to accept a Short Sale Proposal from any other than a recognized and experienced Short Sale Professional. The reason for this is simple; the complexity of these transactions means that anyone less than an experienced pro is likely to get it wrong, thus wasting countless months of time and effort, which will inevitable lead to an eventual Foreclosure anyway.

The good news is that experienced Short Sale Teams typically have success rates exceeding 90%!

The SaraMana preForeclosure & Short Sale Assistance Team helps property owners in Miramar, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton and throughout Manatee & Sarasota County Florida to STOP Foreclosure, Avoid Deficiency Judgments, Successfully Short Sale their homes, and move on with their lives without the long-term overhanging debt, embarrassment, and social stigma that a Foreclosure often brings.

Benefits of Short Sale vs. Foreclosure Offered to Lismore Residents at The Country Club of Lakewood Ranch in Bradenton Florida

Bailouts, HAMP's, HAFA's, TARP's -- these are all vain attempts to fix what the politicians and bankers have caused. Of course, I'm talking about the national mortgage crisis that is affecting Lismore homeowners at the Country Club in Lakewood Ranch just as it is everyone else. Truthfully, the housing mess is here to stay . . . for at least the next 5-7 years, or more.

While there are literally MILLIONS of property owners facing Foreclosure every year, most don't realize that Foreclosure is virtually 100% avoidable. I'll say that again, "Foreclosure is virtually 100% avoidable!" The answer to stopping Foreclosure and moving on with your life is a Short Sale.

While it is true that many area homeowners attempt a Short Sale and fail, it is almost always true that the reason for the failure has nothing to do with the efficacy of Short Sales themselves, but with the ability of those trying to accomplish the Short Sale. It's a fact that Short Sales are among the most complex and difficult of all residential real estate transactions and that they will almost always fail if attempted by an inexperienced, or unknowledgeable practitioner. The flip side to this truth however, is that a Short Sale is almost always successful when managed and executed by an experienced, knowledgeable, Professional Short Sale Team.

The SaraMana preForeclosure & Short Sale Assistance Team helps property owners in Lismore, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton and throughout Manatee & Sarasota County Florida to STOP Foreclosure, Avoid Deficiency Judgments, Successfully Short Sale their homes, and move on with their lives without the long-term overhanging debt, embarrassment, and social stigma that a Foreclosure often brings.
