Description
Killer short sale negotiators focused on the Spokane Washington market.

What we are all about:

Alliance Short Sales is a Washington State mortgage broker and licensed real estate team that specializes 100% in the negotiation of short sales for homeowners in Washington State.

 

Why we are so good at what we do:

Lending expertise and inside banking knowledge have added to the success that Alliance Short Sales has experienced working with sellers and Realtors to get short sale homes sold throughout the country.  (Alliance Short Sales was founded by CEO Matt Side who was formerly a Vice President at the largest mortgage servicer in the United States.)  Beyond this we just work really hard.

The fresh approach that makes Alliance so different:

Alliance Short Sales is a real estate team and licensed mortgage brokerage.  Our focus is to help homeowners in Washington State specifically the Spokane County area avoid foreclosure, minimize negative credit impact and sell their home even if the owe more than they can sell it for.

Alliance has trained hundreds of other real estate agents and real estate teams to help them lock in the Alliance time tested short sale strategies and techniques that consistently help sellers close on the sale of their home.  Training DVD's are available for real estate agents who are struggling with the short sale process.

Alliance is a real estate team licensed to practice real estate and we make sure we are continually in touch with the needs of real-estate professionals and brokers around the country.

Alliance Short Sales NEVER charges a fee directly to the seller for our services.  Our fee is paid only when the sale closes and it is paid out of the proceeds to the bank.  No performance, no payment.  The way it ought to be.

Testimonials:

Unfortunately, I was in an automobile accident which prevented me from being able to work for over a year.  During that time, the bank put a foreclosure into action and we were fortunate enough to receive information from Alliance Short Sales that they could help me.  It was the best thing that we could have done.  We were already to the point of foreclosure and we were afraid of losing everything that we had, including any good credit we may have had or anything good about our name.  Alliance Short Sales was able to step in and render us a tremendous service by stopping the foreclosure and then finding a buyer for our home and our property.  By doing that, they kept the foreclosure from showing up on our record.

Even in the most adverse of times, they put forth every effort they could.  They did not waiver in any way, shape or form.  They kept working and working until they finally got it done.  I could not be any happier that there was somebody out there that truly wanted to help and my wife and I were lucky enough to find them.
-Michael Toebben


I went through a divorce, and as everyone knows, divorces are expensive and hurtful.  Due to my ex-husband not making payments on debts that had my name on them, and the attorney fees, I found myself in a position where the bank began a foreclosure process and set a date to sell my house at a public auction.

I made contact with Alliance Short Sales three weeks before the auction date.  Alliance Short Sales took time to fully understand my situation.  Alliance Short Sales also took time to explain how they would be able to help me prevent a foreclosure, which was important to me.

Once Alliance Short Sales stepped into the situation, they took on all of the stress and labor of working with the bank, something that had been a huge headache for me.  Whenever I had questions, they responded immediately.

Alliance Short Sales treated me with respect and compassion during the entire process.  I would recommend Alliance Short Sales to anyone who finds himself or herself in a foreclosure situation.
-Dorothy J.  

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your contributions to the success of the closing of the property on SE Zambrana Street in Palm Bay, FL.  It has been a pleasure working with Alliance Short Sales on this transaction. Alliance Short Sales has been very helpful in working with the foreclosure lender and getting all the paperwork necessary for closing. Whenever I would call, the office was always very friendly and a pleasure to speak with.

Alliance Short Sales has demonstrated knowledge and expertise that can make what is normally a difficult situation for a seller that of a stress free one. At no point during this transaction was anything not handled in a smooth and efficient manner by your company. Not only was this appreciated by me as the title agent but also the seller who happens to be a relative.

It would be an honor to do business with you in the future and I will definitely recommend your company to anyone in need of your services. Thank you again for all your help and hard work, it was definitely a pleasure!

Thank you,

Tiffany Fortenberry
Owner, Prestige Title of Brevard

 

My name is Zach Bray. I am in the military, in the Air Force, and I am in Little Rock, Arkansas.  My home is back in Spokane, Washington.  I was in the middle of a divorce and did not know what to do with my house.  Alliance Short Sales came through and definitely helped me out and definitely gave me excellent information.  They were on top of everything and in a timely manner when I needed to hear something.  They had the communication with me when my wife wasn't doing it.  I am very grateful for that. I would recommend Alliance Short Sales to someone else.

My name is Mike Fairfield.  My wife Melanie and I,  bought a house.  We were really excited about it.  Then we had some family problems happen.  We had two deaths in the family and we got behind in the payments.  Then, just when we thought we might be able to catch up, we got a rate increase letter in the mail - our interest rates were back up.  We knew we could not afford our house and the property probably would be foreclosed on.

We got a hold of Alliance Short Sales and they got us out from underneath it. 

Anybody thinking they have lost hope and cannot get out from underneath their debt, they need to get a hold of them.  They got us out of the foreclosure and saved us.  I am really thankful for them.
-Mike Fairfield, Homeowner


I am writing to express my profound appreciation to you for the services recently performed on behalf of my clients.  Unfortunately, my clients found themselves indebted on a substantial second mortgage to a large national bank with no foreseeable ability to every pay it off.  They were in a rough situation - wanting to sell their home to pay off both loans, but not able to get enough price for their home to do so.  They could not continue to make the payments, but did not want to ruin their credit.  They turned to you for advice and help.

They were truly amazed and grateful when you were able, in a very short period of time, to negotiate a settlement with the bank, whereby the bank would accept substantially less than what was owed, thus enabling my clients to sell their property to a third party, with them netting zero.  Netting zero, not having the continued burden of paying the monthly payments, and preserving their credit, was all my clients ever really desired, but did not realistically think was possible.  You made it possible, and for that they are extremely relieved and grateful.

I will recommend your company to any other clients that come to me with problems of this nature.  I commend you for your professionalism, experience and genuine concern for others.  I am,

Sincerely yours,

ROBERT S. DELANEY, Attorney at Law

To Whom It May Concern:

I would just like to commend Alliance Short Sales on what a wonderful job their company did for me.  I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone having home loan problems or facing foreclosure.  Alliance Short Sales not only stopped the bank from foreclosing on my home with only days before the auction, but saved my credit as well.  I am also carrying no debt from the home they were able to sell for me.  So thank you, thank you, thank you.

Sincerely,

R. Clark

"With the tools and techniques that I have learned from Alliance Short Sales training I have successfully closed 17 short sale transactions in 14 months, and I am on track to close even more this coming year!"

-Todd Sullivan, Keller Williams Realty

"Any realtor that has dealt with short sales knows that they can be a tedious and time consuming process.  I was doing both jobs, dealing with the banks and being a Realtor.  I was getting burned out and was actually losing money.  I did the math and realized it is too difficult for a realtor to be a realtor and be a bank negotiator at the same time.   A couple of years ago, I got connected with Alliance Short Sales. My perception of short sales completely changed!  Because Alliance Short Sales dealt with the negotiation with the banks, I could concentrate on the realty side. I now seek out short sales from other agents who are burned out from dealing with the banks. Alliance Short Sales got my first short sale through without any problems or delays and the rest is history.  Now I can focus on getting more business and more short sales and stop wasting time on the phone with banks.


Last year, my county was rated by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) as the fastest dropping county in price with the highest rate of foreclosures and short sales then any other county. Alliance Short Sales allowed me to focus on getting more short sale listings. According to NAR, realtors have a success rate of around 30%-40% with short sales. Alliance Short Sales has a success rate of over 70%. Thanks to Alliance Short Sales, not only is my job easier but because of their vast experience, they get twice as many short sales through. I would highly recommend any realtor to use the services of Alliance Short Sales.  Allow them to do the negotiating for you and see your success rate double, even triple. Your clients will be served better, it will save you time, headaches and last but not least, will make you a lot more money. There is no down side to the successful relationship between Alliance Short Sales and realtors."  
-Joel Robinson ReMax 2000, Brevard County Florida

My name is Julius Weiler.  I was recently involved in a transaction with Alliance Short Sales in a debt negotiation situation.  I was the note holder on a second mortgage loan that was attached to a property which was found to be in foreclosure with the first mortgage.  This put my position at high risk of being eliminated at foreclosure auction or having to bring the first mortgage current and start foreclosure proceedings myself.  I did not want to have to deal with all of the expense and time involved with a foreclosure.  I was also aware that if I proceeded to auction it was highly likely that I would have to take the property back.  This would add an additional expense of both time and money to evict the occupants and repair the property in order to re-sell it. 

 

Fortunately for me, I was approached by Alliance Short Sales a company that works with lenders like me as well as larger lenders such as Countrywide or Chase Home Finance.  They work with the lenders to help them mitigate the loss that they will incur going through a foreclosure.  I was very relieved to have someone assist me in mitigating the loss of both money and time involved. 

Alliance Short Sales has performed a great service for me as a private note holder.  I would recommend that anyone who finds themselves in my situation work with them to find a resolution that reduces the potential loss as well as time and energy that come along with foreclosure.

"I had no idea that this kind of service existed. Glad to know now." 
Mary Guderjohn Realtor

I have been selling real estate for 16+ years and have had the frustration of dealing with only a handful of short sales. Needless to say I have avoided them "like the plague" since. I will definitely use your services in the future instead of continuing to run from short sales."
-Judy Flemmer, ABR

 Alliance Short Sales streamlines the short sale process and allows busy agents to tap into this growing market sector without getting buried in paperwork or spending hours on hold, waiting to talk to lenders.  With their expertise and support behind me, I can feel good about offering homeowners a valuable service. 
 
 As a first year agent, partnering with Alliance Short Sales was the best decision I could have made.  Not only did I triple my listings, but I gained invaluable experience and confidence in dealing with complex transactions.  Any agent would benefit from working with Alliance Short Sales.
-Erika Kahler The Cascade Team

"I invited Matt Side of Alliance Short Sales to come to an office training.  With the market as it is, this was a timely topic and I had more agents than I had ever had at any in-house training.  The information and materials provided were very clear and easy to understand.  Matt is an excellent instructor with great knowledge about the short sale process.  All my agents appreciated the information shared and we will continue to have Matt come in for on-going training updates."
