About Bothell's Thrashers Corner

Are you at the risk of losing your home? Are you behind in mortgage payments? There are many reasons to be in this place. Losing a job, illness, divorce or not being able to refinance. Nobody wants to be in this situation and in many cases it is not their fault. Nobody plans on losing their job, nobody plans on getting ill or divorced. Nobody expects they can not refinance... AND nobody expected the market would go down like now! Often times, people in this situation are a bit too embarrassed to seek help and clueless as far as where to start... As I wrote in my previous post, my neighbors abandoned their home a few weeks ago because the rumor says they could not afford to live there any longer.

If you happen to be one of them, please know you are one of a million people. If you purchased a property at the peak of the market and got Pay Option Arms, you might be facing something you have never even imagined to have to go through in your life... If you've come to the point that you can't afford paying your mortgage and can't even refinance because you have second mortgage etc, please seek help. If you are in Snohomish County/King County, WA and need help in order to avoid foreclosure/bankruptcy, please feel free to contact me. Everything you talk to me will be CONFIDENTIAL.

Short sale is better than foreclosure. The inevitable result of a foreclosure is the bank taking away your home. But not only that, it will ruin your credit. Your credit will be in such a bad condition for many years. If you could, it should be avoided at all costs. I understand this is a very sensitive subject and nobody wants to be in this situation but if you are at risk and don't know what to do, where to start, please seek professional help. We all understand the situation... you are not the only one. Here to help...

I found out a couple weeks ago that one of our neighbors abandoned their home. The rumor was that they might have had one of those 3 year ARM loans when they bought the property and either they could not refinance or the husband might have lost his job... Nobody knows what happened to the family. All we know is one night, there was a truck on their driveway and they were loading their belongings and nobody saw them since then. Nobody knows where they are. I am sure there must be a reason why they had to leave, but how do they explain to their teenage kids what they are doing.... I wonder why they did not try to do a short sale when they were behind in one or two mortgage payments or why they didn't file for bankruptcy? Why did they run away? There are so many 'whys'... I wonder how long it would take for the property to be on the market as REO...?

I know there will be more and more short sales coming up. I took a short sale class a couple of days ago and the instructor said the mortgage payments could go up by 6 times after the 3 year ARM is over. I hope any home owners who are at risk of losing their homes will contact a real estate professional (especially a short sale specialist), real estate attorney or a loan officer and see if they can get help. We are here to help.

I finally made my Real Estate website. Please visit my page if you are interested in selling/buying a home or if you just want to check it out what is going on in your area... This website is there for you to search any properties in WA.
