Real Estate as A Career

Many people, our neighbors, friends, family, co-workers are struggling with making their monthly payment to the lender.  Majority of homeowners quietly fret, not seeking help as in the past this was a shame to admit.  NOT in Today's world.  There are ways to help you if you want to stay in your home or if you want to move on.  Foreclosure if far worse then a short sale.  The banks today are finally "getting it" and we are having more and more shorts sales approved.  You can move on with your life, a new homeowner moves in and the best part....start the paving the way to own another home under much better circumstances that you had to endure these past several years.

My partner and I are experienced with helping homeowners who owe more on their home then they can sell it for...we are getting your short sales approved.  We are constantly enriching our knowledge by making connections with the major banks.  In addition I am now a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) and Short Sales Foreclosure Resource (SFR) and  Certified Short Sale Negotiator.  This extensive training enables us to streamline the process and in the end, shorten the time it takes to get a short sale approved.  The newly released HAFA program is now in place as of the first of April 2010.  As a Certifed HAFA Specialist, let me help you navigate the complex set of guidelines the government and loan servicers have put in place.  In today's market getting a buyer does not take long.  The process we have put in place enables our team gets the transaction accepted and closed.  You can get on with your life with respect and dignity, knowing you did what was right for your situation.  Give us a call for a confidential unbiased consultation to review the opportunities you have.

My knowledge of Solano and Napa County runs deep.  Benicia, CA and Vallejo, CA are two of my favorite cities.  I have lived in this area for over 21 years plus served the business community in my previous corporate positions.  Having a healthy business climate provides the starting point for people who sell and buy homes.  I use that knowledge and expertise to assist my clients in making their investment decisions.  Whether my client is a first time home buyer or savvy investor, I take the time to communicate and smoothly facilitate every transaction. 

Now is the time to buy, if you wait because you think the market will go down...the only way you will know if it was the right time is when the market goes back up...then it is too late.  There is no crystal ball, interest rates are good, inventory covers a wide spectrum of homes.  Go ahead, put pen to paper and Just Do It!!  Look to the Future, as time proves over and over, real estate does appreciate again.
