Homes for sale, Wilton CT 06897


MYTH-      I can’t afford to pay my mortgage payments!       I stress about how I will find the money to pay my next payment.       All my other bills and providing for my family is way too much stress.       I give up.     I have no other option, but to have the bank foreclose on my property.


FACT-       I want you to know that you have options.       Allowing the bank to foreclose will not relieve you from your debt nor give you a clean slate.     What will help you is the process of a short sale and the Mortgage Relief Act.

To have a better understanding on the Mortgage Relief Act:

What is a short Sale in Wilton CT?


We all hear the term “short sale” thrown around.        But what is a short sale?

A short sale is when your bank agrees to accept less than what you owe on your mortgage to AVOID foreclosure on your property.       For the bank to approve you though, your house must be worth less than what you owe on your property.      And 2nd you must have proof that you are facing hardship, and therefore cannot continue to pay for your mortgage.

Shorts sales have become more and more popular as the years have gone on.

So before you walk away from your mortgage and allow your home in Wilton to be foreclosed on, know that:

1. Foreclosure will not relieve you from your financial suffering

2. Options are out there that can help.      SO DON’T PANIC.       REMAIN CALM and call Dagny at 203-858-4853.       I will help you navigate through this process and help you further understand your options.

Dagny, sometimes the biggest obstacle to getting help is just getting up the nerve to call someone. Short sales do work, and banks are very sympathetic to people in distress and do encourage short sales as an alternative to foreclosure

Thank you, Ed!  You are so right!  Banks are now so cooperative with this process.

Yes, a short sale is a much better alternative vs. foreclosure.  This way, the homeowner can actually move on with their lives.  And, yes, I agree w/ Ed's comment.  I'm glad they have someone like you to help them in Wilton CT.
