The Attorney Consultation with the Seller as a Cornerstone to our Short Sale Involvement

Our success ratio in closing short sale transactions is better than 90%. The primary reason for our success is the requirement that EVERY seller must have a consultation with one of our Senior Real Estate Attorneys before we begin.

In that consultation we will look at every aspect that is of concern for that client. A short sale is not always the best answer for clients. We will cover:

Short Sales
Bankruptcy
Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure
Foreclosure
Strategic Walk Aways
Loan Modifications
Foreclosure Fairness Act
Credit Impact Issues
Tax Implications

If a short sale is in the client's best interest then we will be happy to negotiate it for them OR provide them with the information they need in order to facilitate the successful negotiation by a real estate professional.
