Twin2jlb,
Although the "Short Sale" seems to have become more the "norm" in recent years, it is not always the answer or an option. One of the main qualifiers is that you must be able to show a "Change" in your life that has caused you not to be able to afford your mortgage and you are already having difficulty makeing your payments or are currently behind.
There is also alot of paperwork that must be sublitted to your lender/s to see if you qualify which is where a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) such as myself can assist with.
What is a CDPE?
A Certified Distressed Property Expert® is a real estate professional with specific understanding of the complex issues confronting the real estate industry, and the foreclosure avoidance options available to homeowners. Through comprehensive training and experience, CDPEs are able to provide solutions for homeowners facing hardships in today’s market, specifically short sales.
While enduring financial difficulties is challenging for any family, the process of finding a qualified real estate professional should not be. Selecting an agent with the CDPE Designation ensures you are dealing with a professional trained to address your specific needs.
Please let me know it there is anything further I can assist you with,
