Our Upstate SC Real Estate Team / Foreclosures & Short Sales
Choose KNOWLEDGE. Choose EXPERIENCE. Choose the SHEILA NEWTON TEAM.
Whether you are considering selling, purchasing or both, we offer you the tools that inform and equip you to confidently move in that direction. We have helped thousands of folks in the Upstate of SC., and we bring to bear decades of combined experience for you to draw upon.
Looking for a new home? Use our Quick Search or Map Search to browse an up-to-date database of available properties in the area, OR use our Dream Home Finder form, and we will conduct a personalized search for you!
Thinking about selling your home? The single most important element you will need is a fair asking price. There are plenty of agents who will list your home for anything you say, but if the price is not in line with what the market will support, you are wasting your time and exposing your home to “shop wear” – (once your home is seen by other agents as overpriced, it tends to get ignored and just sits on the market and stales) Let us give you a real figure – we don’t tell folks what they want to hear; we give them a real range based on facts and experience.
Behind on your payments and think you may be headed to foreclosure? We provide you with information about how to avoid a foreclosure, explain the effects it can have on you and your family, and offer other options that may be available to you. This includes a short sale, and we can help youdetermine if you qualify.
Interested in buying SC Foreclosures or Short Sales? We have specialized in distressed properties for over 20 years. We are well versed in foreclosures and short sales and dealing with the contracts and addenda that banks use when selling their properties. Be careful – if an agent doesn’t have this experience, YOU will be the one to pay the price. We can also provide you alist of available SC foreclosure or short sale properties.

Your lender - also called a servicer - has a variety of options to help you with your mortgage and avoid foreclosure. These options include:
You can find your lender's contact information on your mortgage statement or coupon book.
If your lender has called or mailed you documents, do not ignore them. Your lender is trying to help you. Remember, when you contact your lender early, there is a greater chance your lender can help you with your mortgage and avoid foreclosure.

It is wise to get pre-approved before going out to look for a home because knowing how much you can borrow may help you narrow your home search.
It may also give you more leverage when it comes time to negotiate a price and is generally well-accepted by sellers and their realtors.
To find out about getting pre approved with Franklin American Mortgage Company, call us at 800-295-1020 or click above to apply online.
Before applying for pre approval, you may also want to carefully assess how much money you can afford to spend on a home.
This can also save you time and effort during the homebuying process by allowing you to focus on homes that fit your price range.
To find out the cost of monthly payments on a particular home mortgage, use FAMC's suite of online mortgage calculators.
