We have assisted a large number of people facing foreclosure by either purchasing their home or negotiating a Short Sale with the Lender. We regularly work with the nation's leading firms to bring the highest level of expertise to our Short Sale negotiations. Our President and Founder, Susan Bouchard has been recognized as one of the premier short sale specialists in the Houston area. Susan Bouchard received her Master's in Political Science from the Sorbonne in Paris, before working with the Canadian government on constitutional negotiations.

"I wanted to write this short message about Susan Bouchard. Susan has been one of my readers for over a year now. Anytime I presented her with some type of actionable content that would help her business, she not only took action on but went far and beyond for what was expected. To me, that shows that she is a person of great integrity, action, and drive to not only succeed but help others. I know Susan invests in the Houston Area doing short sales for both residential and commercial properties. She has been doing it for 4 years now. If you are looking for someone to help you with your short sale in the Houston area, I would contact Susan because she cares and will help you out. Most of all, is a a doer and not a talker. Her business is family oriented. She is one of the few people who actually wants to help others. Thank you Susan. Stay in touch and I wish you best of luck in your business and personal life."
