Please note that I am a Realtor and NOT a Mortgage Professional. As a result, I seldom get into the subject of finance when blogging with the exception of buyers needing their pre-approval before heading out to shop for a home. I simply leave the finance side to the Mortgage Professionals. Additionally, I know many really fine Mortgage Professionals that my clients have worked with through the years.

Having stated the obvious, I couldn't help but note an email this morning that directed me to a very good post about Mortgage Scams.

The post covers people that are upside down in their Mortgage, perhaps facing a Short Sale and/or Foreclosure. I hope you will take a moment if you are in this position to read the following article so that someone who is less than honest won't come along and endeavor to take advantage of your financial position:

David, it is wise for buyers to use either someone local or a Realtor referral.

All consumers and real estate professionals need to be alert for scams.  Many of them are very smooth.

Have a great day and a most productive week as home buyers continue to take advantage of record low mortgage interest rates.
