Upcoming Guests Scheduled:

August Guests:

20 August - Real Estate Roundtable - Carissa Ramey (Central Willamette Community Credit Union), Greg Jackson (AmeriTitle), Andrea Beem and Gina Bindle (RE/MAX Integrity). Current events in the mid-Willamette Valley's housing market.

29 August - David Brown (Disaster Restorations/Steamway) - Do you know what to do after a fire or a flood? How do you take care of mold issues? We'll help you get answers!

One great thing about RE/MAX Integrity is that many of our brokers have had special training in helping people avoid foreclosure by going the short sale route instead. As far as how this affects your credit, a short sale is much less damaging in the long run. The special designation to look for if you find yourself in this situation is CDPE or Certified Distressed Property Expert. An agent with this specialized training will understand your options and can help you through a stressful time. To reach a CDPE in Eugene, call 541-345-8100. In Albany, call 541-791-2002; in Corvallis the number is 541-766-2000. Simply ask for an available broker who has the CDPE designation. Your situation may not be as bad as you think!
