Avoid Foreclosure in Arizona


You can Avoid Foreclosure in Arizona doing a Short Sale, but you better read this before you hire just any Real Estate Agent!

Welcome to Short Sale Straight Talk!

I put together this blog because I realize that many people in Arizona are facing the decision regarding home foreclosure and I wanted to give you an option that could save your credit and relieve some stress from a bad situation.

We all know that property values have dropped like a rock over the past few years, the economy is in the toilet, and people are unable to either justify paying a mortgage on a upside house, (also known as a Strategic Default) or are no longer able to make the mortgage payments due to circumstances beyond their control.

Arizona is one of the hardest hit housing markets and it is not getting better as of the writing of this post.

Before you just walk  away from your home, here is tip to help you Avoid Foreclosure in Arizona!

If you have never heard of a short sale you are not alone. When my wife and I decided that our house was so far upside down that it was no longer a good investment, we dreaded the thought of destroying our credit with a foreclosure. We decided that a Strategic Default might be the best thing moving forward.

I began researching our options and had no idea what a short sale was or how it worked. Most of the people I knew, just handed over the keys to the bank and left their homes. I knew that a foreclosure would ruin any chance of buying another house, car, credit cards, for at least 5 years.

I wanted to avoid foreclosure but also realized that we could not stay in our home under the present conditions.

I heard from a friend about doing a Short Sale. At first I was completely ignorant about what it was or how it could help us.

Here is where it got really crazy! I started calling real estate agents and got so many different stories about how short sales work in Arizona that I was dazed and confused. Some agents even told me there was no difference on my credit report between a foreclosure or a short sale. I also found many real estate agents were very inexperienced in how to do short sales. In fact, clueless might be a better word.

Just because a Real Estate Agent says he does Short Sales, does not mean he knows how to effectively get them done. Choosing an inexperienced agent to list your home can damage your chances of getting it done and avoiding foreclosure.

I started doing research on how to do a short sale in Arizona!

In a short time I actually knew more about Arizona short sales then most real estate agents I had spoken with.  I am not a real estate agent.

In my research I found that there are real estate agents in Arizona  that are Certified Short Sale Specialists! These are people that have gone the extra mile to become experts in doing short sales and helping people avoid foreclosure in Arizona.

I want to use this blog Short Sale Straight Talk to help people in a bad situation and help them get the straight facts about how to avoid foreclosure in Arizona and do a short sale.

I am NOT a Real Estate Agent, Consultant, or Lawyer,  just someone that wants to help you avoid the pitfalls of getting bad information from unqualified realtors.

I will be posting articles on Short Sales in Arizona and have even put together Free eBook called Short Sale Secrets which gives you a complete overview on how to avoid foreclosure in Arizona and why you need to be very careful when choosing a real estate to do your short sale.

The one thing I learned is that not all Real Estate Agents are created equal when it comes to getting them done properly.
