I have been working with various professionals in the legal field as well as Realtors and Brokers who have questions pertaining to their short sale.

If you have any questions or need a free consultation on your short sale and are either a Realtor or a homeowner who has decided to sell their home through a short sale, please contact me so we can discuss your options.

I am limiting my services to New York City and the surrounding New York Area.




Short Sales are complex and should be handled by a detailed oriented professional. Get smart get represented by a professional. If you are working with a Realtor we can still help. Let your Realtor focus on selling your home and let me focus on getting the bank to accept your Short Sale proposal.

Contact me directly by email or just pick up the phone and call! Time is on the Banks side, do not wait before it's too late.

I just got a call from an agent who had a deal go south and it was as simple as having the lawyer ask the client if they had other assets. The intake on a Short Sale is very important. The finish line of a payday is not the only measurement of a successful short sale.

Distressed home owners need good representation and a good intake is part of good representation. This can be either done by the Realtor working with the distressed home owner or the Attorney who undertakes the negotiation aspect of the short sale.

Again I cannot emphasis that detail is an important component of a short sale and inaccurately collecting all of the important information from a distressed homeowner who is stressed and possibly in denial is not beneficial to you as the professional Realtor or loss mitigation negotiator.

I have been doing short sales since 99 and know that policies change daily with lenders, but we must pay attention to detail.

Good luck with those tough short sales and drop me a line if you need some help.

SHORT SALE NEW YORK

If you are like me and are deep in the Short Sale side of the Real Estate business you come across many horror stories. Families left high and dry by agents who have never completed a short sale, Attorneys who guess their way through the short sale process making families wait months and months and finally figure out they needed an authorization before they could speak to anyone at the Mortgage Company.

I have been hearing all sorts of horror stories about short sales and that is why I am committing myself only to Short Sale Listings and Short Sale Closings.

My unfortunate situation is that I am only in New York. I wish there were a nonprofit out there that would train attorneys how to complete a short sale.

If you need help with a short sale in New York City and need an attorney who can complete your short sale deal contact me.

Even if you just want a free consultation on a short sale, email me and I will see if I can help you.

Too many families are being devastated by people who just want to make a quick buck without providing the services that are so dearly needed.

I am limiting my services to short sales and short sale closings at this time so do not hesitate to contact me.

I have been frustrated lately with the lack of information on my MLS. Basic information like square footage, number of rooms, bathrooms, driveways etc is very apparent.

My MLS in Queens Long Island Board of Realtors does not make these entries mandatory since the Fields are not required to submit the listing. I believe that Fields such as Rooms and Square Footage to name two should be required.

What is your point of view on MLS listings and how can they be improved?

We do pay a large fee to have this service, should this service not be worthwhile instead of worthless when putting together your next CMA, BPO or property search.

I find that in most circumstances when I had the chance to reach the agent whose listing is, lets say scarce of information, I get a reply; I did not bother with that info, the picture is there.

I hope that this changes, but at this point only the MLS can make the change. Agents will be agents some great some not so great, but the MLS must do the most it can to make information standard and available to all users of its MLS.
