How we assist our short sale clients

Our real estate team is assembling a group of short sale experts to assist our clients who need to sell before the lender takes possession. Our goal is to involve the right experts at the right time to ensure our clients get their homes sold.

First, we have a team of three Realtors who have achieved Certified Distressed Property Expert designation. The three of us work together to effectively price and market our listings. We also ensure our clients have the right paperwork in place for the proposal packet that is submitted to the lender.

Second, we have enlisted the services of short sale facilitators who assist in submitting the short sale packet and work with the lender once the packet has been submitted. Our short sale facilitators come from Homestead Title. The Homestead Title team works with the lender to keep the sale moving forward. If issues arise during the approval process, our facilitators work to get them addressed quickly. And, Homestead Title will ensure that there are no 11th hour surprises and that all lien holders are identified early in the process.

Third, we provide our short sale clients with the services of an attorney of their choice. The attorney's job is to protect our client's best interests as we facilitate the sale with the lender.

Soon we'll be launching a web site designed for people who are in danger of losing their home to foreclosure. More on that coming soon.
