Short Sale vs. Foreclosure

MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR A STABLE FUTURE

There seems to be no end to the debate of whether a short sale or foreclosure is a better decision for homeowners who can no longer afford their mortgage payments. For many, the anxiety of dealing with this challenge is so overwhelming that they give up and let their home fall into foreclosure. This is unfortunate. Weighing the benefits of a short sale when compared to foreclosure may have led to a decision that would have secured a brighter future.

I want distressed homeowners to be able to make an educated decision about how to proceed when faced with this challenging situation. That's why I've developed a special report that outlines the differences between a short sale and a foreclosure. It is available for free at the following site:

GUIDING DISTRESSED HOMEOWNERS THROUGH THIS CHALLENGE

If you know someone who owes more on their home than what it is worth and can no longer afford the mortgage payments, please let them know I can help. Having the right person navigate a distressed homeowner through foreclosure avoidance is key to providing for a financially and emotionally stable future.

Please think of me when you find those who need help in finding solutions to foreclosure. Your referrals would be my highest priority! Referalls are the way I do business.

With gratitude,

Is Your Mortgage Payment Dragging You Down? I want you to know there are options Hattiesburg MS.

It's no secret that millions of Americans are having trouble making their mortgage payments these days.

In fact, one in seven homes is headed toward foreclosure. That's a troubling statistic for so many reasons, and what I find particularly disturbing are the reports that in the majority of the cases, homeowners do not reach out for help in exploring alternatives to foreclosure.

As a real estate professional who has earned the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, it is my mission to help homeowners to avoid the indignity and financial devastation of foreclosing on their homes. In the process, I help them to move forward on a positive path.

Chances are, you know someone who is having trouble making their mortgage payments, and I want you to know that I am distinctly qualified to help with options for very tough circumstances.

I invite you to visit my website and contact me if you know someone who I could help. And please feel free to refer my contact information to others within your sphere.

CDPE agents are held to a very high standard and times like these deserve nothing less.

This is no time to go it alone.

I have never understood why an agent would accept a task they are not capable of doing just to get a commission. If you were not knowledgeable about commercial contracts would you sell commercial property? Would you take a short sale listing if you had never completed one nor had you had one ounce of education in short sales? I would like to think NOT but that is not what is happening. I have spent thousands of dollars learning the short sale process and have become a CDPE among other designations through the short sale education process to be as knowledgeable as I can be on this process before undertaking this task. We are never perfect but we can strive to be the best at what we are doing. We owe that to our clients and ourself. I continue daily learning as much as I possibly can to do this correctly and to protect everyone involved. My experience has been some agents take listings just to get leads or dollars from it and then when they actuallly get an offer on the short sale listing it is a disaster. It is your fudiciary duty in the state of MS to have full accounting and the duty to use skill, care and diligence to the seller (as i'm sure it is in all states). It is not demonstrating skill when you do not know the process at all. If you are going to accept the business KNOW the business you are in...this is not a traditional sale process. You may sell millions of dollars of real estate and be a great buyers/sellers agent but are you educated in the short sale process? Please take time and educate yourself via online classes, in classrooms, somewhere just please educate yourself to protect everyone and do the best of your ability to help your client avoid a terrible situation - Foreclosure or worse bankruptcy - which for some people means the loss of a job if you are in a position that requires security clearance, etc. Go to cdpe.com for more information about obtaining education. It is worth it!

I personally think it should be a requirement if you are going to accept the listing you should have gone through some formal education.

Is Your Mortgage out of Balance with your Budget?

It can happen quickly.

An expensive car repair, an unexpected hospital visit, a missed week of work – just a few little things and the life you’ve worked so hard to build can feel like it’s tipping dangerously out of balance.

Once the scales turn against you, it can feel like it is impossible to ever tip them back in your favor again. When your financial problems reach the point where they threaten your home, it is difficult to manage the stress. Sometimes it is even difficult to force yourself to seek help.

As a real estate professional who has earned the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, my mission is to provide financially-challenged homeowners with options to foreclosure, ensure that they steer clear of scams, and help navigate them through the solution that best meets their needs.

Choose to face the challenge with a professional on your side.

I can help you realign the balance in your financial life and tip the scales back in your favor. Call or email me and schedule your free, confidential consultation. We can work together to make sure you end up ahead.

I am proud to be able to help homeowners in distress. I have recently had other real estate agents "knock" me for doing short sales and being classsified as an "expert" in this field. I take great pride in being able to help homeowners not just make a sell but to get them out of a stressful situation. All real estate agents with knowledge of the business can make their way through a sale but not all real estate agents can successfully complete a short sale. You as the homeonwer, definitely want an agent with experience and education to back them up when it comes to this ! Trust me - I have worked with (and am currently working with) agents who don't have a clue how to handle a short sale and it can create disaster on top of distress! Please do your homework - ask for references from the agent don't just take their word that they have completed short sales - get phone numbers and contact names of the clients whom they have helped out. You can be putting yourself into a worse situation by trusting this process to an agent with no experience in actually CLOSING short sales successfully. So for that agent who chooses to make light of my interest in being an "expert" in this field - shame on you! I love what I do and am more than happy to help homeowners in this situation.

With that being said, I also assist homeowners in every facet of real estate with buying or selling home in the traditional side of selling - I have closed hundreds of transactions so I am very well versed in the traditional sales as well. I choose to specialize in short sales at this time but am happy to work with everyone.
