temecula and murrieta short sale specialist: Are Resetting Mortgages causing more short sales in 2015? - 06/10/15 02:51 PM
Are Resetting Mortgages causing more short sales in 2015? Yes,just when it looked like it was over for short sales they have picked up again inpart due to many homeowners not being able to afford the raise in their mortgage payment.This time the number one cause is unaffordability.

temecula and murrieta short sale specialist: Beware of the high offer in a short sale,it could cause foreclosure! - 08/17/11 03:53 PM
Beware of the high offer in a short sale,it could cause foreclosure!
Think twice before jumping to accept the highest offer on your short sale. The offer that comes in at asking or near it may really be the better offer for your home.

Here is just one reason to maybe reject that offer......
You accept the highest offer and your agent and you work hard for 3 to 5 months to get the … (11 comments)
