We do short sales...we get sooo much satisfaction from closing them...giving people their lives back. We have a team of five people or we would not be able to do the work necessary to give our distressed sellers the service they deserve and continue our practice.

We have learned that loss mitigators sometimes tell different team members different stories....fortunately we all know each other well enough to know that it is not one … (13 comments)
