long realty: A few simple real estate tips for seniors - 12/15/09 09:20 AM


 
Because this is an important and life changing decision, do not just pick a real estate agent out of the phone book, and/or stick with the first agent you meet - interview at least two agents. Make sure that you feel comfortable with the agent you will be working with. In the interview question the agents about their experience in handling clients dealing with the issues that you are dealing with.

Here is a list of web sites that maybe of value to people who are facing foreclosure or need to do a loan modification.
  www.hud.gov  
www.hopenow.com                                                                                         
www.makinghomeaffordable.gov                                                                  
www.homeloanlearningcenter.com                                                                            
www.betterborrowers.com                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Stats say that over half the people who lose their homes never contact their lenders. Strange.
I would be interested in any other information or web sites that other agents and loan officers have that could help those home owners stay in their homes when they are having financial problems.
