Who do you know that needs help? Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage
December, 2008 – The Holiday Season is filled with opportunities to help those less fortunate. At Coldwell Banker, each of our offices is involved in reaching out to local charities to help in whatever way we can. But there is another group of people we’d like to help as well. Who do you know that is struggling to make their house payment or may be facing foreclosure?
Often homeowners are unaware of their options when facing financial distress. Some just give up. Others believe that a “short sale” (a sale in which the proceeds do not cover all of the costs) is the only way to avoid foreclosure. While a short sale may work for those who are ready to relinquish their home; a loan modification agreement is becoming a viable alternative for those who wish to remain in their home.
The real estate market is changing daily and many lenders are now offering options that were never available in the past. As trusted advisors, we want to carefully lay out all of the alternatives, so our customers can decide which option is right for their situation. We believe it is in everyone’s best interest to assist homeowners who wish to receive and qualify for a loan modification agreement by providing information on the process.
If you know of someone who needs information on one of the many loan modification programs available, please have them give me a call. Coldwell Banker is celebrating over 100 years of always doing what is right for our customers. Please think of me as your trusted advisor.
