Find A Arizona Short Sale Specialist

A testimonial about the importance of hiring a Arizona short sale specialist that you need to read!

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who is upside down in her condo in phoenix. She heard about my Arizona short sale and wanted more info about avoiding a nasty foreclosure.

She was very confused because she had heard so many different stories about short sales that she was ready to just walk from her home. After I explained why I did a short sale on my home in Scottsdale and how it worked she felt better and wanted to get the ball rolling.

Here is where it got interesting! After more discussion I found out that her auction date was only 1 week away. Honestly, I really did not have much hope for her, so I told her to call the only person I thought would give her any chance of possibly saving her from foreclosure. This particular real estate agent is actually a certified Arizona short sale specialist that has vast experience in getting them done.  I wasn’t sure if there was time to save her house!

Can this Arizona Short Sale specialist get it done in time?

She just called me very excited. Here is what happened. The Arizona short sale specialist got her paperwork done in record time, submitted an offer to the bank and best of all, got her auction postponed for 60 days. I was flabbergasted. She said they treated her great and helped her get the paperwork done and did it fast.

Okay, here is the bottom line.  If you are facing foreclosure in Arizona and are wondering if a short sale is a solid option you need to take action today.

The Arizona Short Sale Specialist you choose makes all the difference.

Do Not pay some so called consultant money up front. In fact a short sale should not cost you anything if done right. Many of these foreclosure consultants are scam artists.

As Arizona short sales continue to gain popularity more and more realtors that are not a Arizona short sale specialist are doing them. Unfortunately many of them are not an Arizona short sale specialist or are not willing to put in the time and work required to get them done. just because a realtor says they do short sales does not mean they are good at them.

There are many positives to doing a short sale and a top Arizona short sale specialist has told me that the lenders are realizing that it is in their best interests to do a short sale versus a foreclosure. There are no guarantees that you can get one done, so make sure you choose a Arizona short sale specialist.

My friend is feeling much better and her stress level is way down.

Many Arizona Foreclosure and Mortgage Consultants are Scams

Beware of Arizona Foreclosure Consultants wanting money up front to provide services. It may be a scam!

It is a sad story indeed that there are slime bags out there that would take advantage of down and out people losing their homes. Beware of any so called loan modification or foreclosure consultant or service that want money up front.

According to the Attorney General’s offices in Arizona and California reports of these scams are on the rise.

In fact here is one report from the Arizona Attorney General’s office this month (Jan 2010)

http://azag.tumblr.com/post/332934790/attorney-generals-office-sues-loan-modification

As part of a consumer alert, California AG Brown offered the following tips to homeowners:

Don’t pay up-front fees. Foreclosure consultants are prohibited by law from collecting money before services are performed.

Don’t ignore letters from your lender or loan servicer. Responding to those letters is your best bet for saving your house.

Don’t transfer title or sell your house to a “foreclosure rescuer.” Beware! This is a scam to convince homeowners they can stay in the home as renters and buy their home back later. It might also be part of a fraudulent bankruptcy filing. Either way, a scammer can then evict the victim and take the home.

Don’t pay your mortgage payments to anyone other than your lender or loan servicer. Mortgage consultants often keep the money for themselves.

Never sign any documents without reading them first. Many homeowners think that they are signing documents for a loan modification or for a new loan to pay off the mortgage they are behind on. Later, they discover that they actually transferred ownership of their home to someone who is now trying to evict them

Going through a foreclosure is a stressful and complicated situation. The important thing to realize is that there are a lot of slime bags out there trying to give you false hope and drain your bank account by offering phony promises.

A Short Sale in Arizona is an option you should investigate.

There is no guarantee that you will be able to do one, but you should talk to short sale specialists that can look at your situation and give you sound advice. Do not wait until the last minute. The more time you give the specialist to work with you and your lender, the more chance you have of completing a short sale and saving your credit from a foreclosure.

I have worked with several Arizona certified short sale specialists that will give you a Free Consultation. You need to get straight answers and work with professionals that know how to get short sales done. Unfortunately, many real estate agents that claim to do short sales are inexperienced and can actually hurt your chances of completing your short sale in Arizona.
