If you, your family or friends are looking for refinancing strategies, tips for a quick sale or information on purchasing a home, I invite you to call me for valuable information on today's ever changing real estate market.

If you, your family or friends are facing a current or future financial hardship the BaltimoreShortSaleTeam.com can help please contact me Aaron Rice, Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE). 443-244-0051.

Most people think of calling Aaron Rice only when they're ready to buy or sell, but did you know www.BaltimoreShortSaleTeam.com is a good resource if you run into financing problems, and are worried about losing your existing home?

Foreclosures are at an all-time high, due in part to the sub-prime mortgage issues plaguing an increasing number of Baltimore homeowners over the past year. If you're having problems financing your current home, please call Aaron Rice as soon as possible. I have a wide network of resources that you can talk about your options, including payment deferrals or refinancing programs.

You'll want to do everything you can to avoid losing your home, but but if you're at the point that even refinancing won't work, make sure you call me before you run the chance of damaging your credit rating with a foreclosure. Selling your property before the bank initiates a foreclosure sale might allow you to generate enough money to avoid owing them any money, thereby saving your credit status.

Get in touch with the Baltimore Short Sale Team before you begin preparing your home for sale. We have valuable tips that might make the difference between a quick sale and a property that lingers in the market. First impressions can often make or break a deal, so you'll want to hear about the simple strategies that other Baltimore homeowners have used to sell their home quickly. Whether it's how your home looks or how it's presented, you'll want to take full advantage of the experience I've had selling properties similar to yours.

Our Client-First Philosophy

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.

That said, in my experience as a Baltimore real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.

This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.

Answer: The Baltimore Short Sale Team understands the current market conditions and how the market is affecting home sale prices. We will be able to back up our assertions with solid proof by obtaining a comparative market analysis to include three items: the listing and selling prices of homes in your area, a description of comparable homes, and the length of time the homes have been on the market. This gathered information will give you confidence that your home's proposed market value is set at an accurate pricing range.

9. Does your real estate agent have a pricing/marketing campaign for 14, 30, and 45days?

Answer: If your home isn't seeing much interest by prospective buyers after 14 days, the Baltimore Short Sale Team will promptly be able to provide you with a list of things being done on a regular basis to generate activity.

10. How do I know if I am really comfortable with the real estate agent I am selecting?

Answer: This is a great question to ask yourself. We have all had times where we went along with a decision because of pressure but knew it wasn't the right choice. Ask yourself if you trust The Baltimore Short Sale Team and more importantly, if you feel confident in the way we conduct business. We are happy to provide references so that you can be educated with our skill level and expertise in selling your home as a short sale. You are dealing with a very emotional issue...selling your home. Make sure you are making good business decisions during this trying time. If you decide what we have to offer is not for you, then we'll walk away with no pressure. Fair enough?
