About:

I'm originally from New Jersey, I have lived in Southern California for over 20 years, making the Santa Clarita Valley home for the past 14 plus years. I'm originally from New Jersey, I have lived in Southern California for over 20 years, making the Santa Clarita Valley home for the past 14 plus years. I am an active member of this community, I was one of the original committee members that formed Troop #499 a local Boy Scout troop out of Stevenson Ranch. I have also coached AYSO Soccer and have taught Karate within our community. I have devoted my life to serving others through leadership in my profession and in my community.
Upon graduating from high school, I served in the United States Marine Corps, where I received various specialized small unit leadership training. I'm a veteran of the first Gulf War. Upon seperating from the military, I enjoyed a 15 year career in law enforcement, where I expanded my leadership abilities. The experience of living and working within multi cultural communities expanded my ability to communicate effectively with others.
I specialize in residential real estate, single family homes, condominiums and investment properties. I have the training and experience to help struggling property owners avoid foreclosure. I am here to provide my professional guidance to assist you in evaluating your real estate needs. I listen to my clients and formulate a plan that is tailored to their specific needs whether they are buying or selling.
Continuing education is essential to staying on top of the latest real estate trends in this volatile market.. I have received my designation as a Certified Distressed Property Expert, from the Distressed Property Institute. http://www.cdpenow.com The Distressed Property Institute trains agents to understand the foreclosure process that all together too many agents do not understand. CDPE agents have an arsenal of foreclosure solutions available to make certain they are doing everything they can to help a distressed property owner out of their situation. I will analyze which options best suit the client and move towards resolving their financial difficulty.
With both my wife and I having worn the badge and my service in the United States Marine Corp (Semper Fi), one of my focuses is to help law enforcement and military families. While our men and women are serving our local communities or our country, I am here to help those families with the largest and most important investment of their lives. Whether your buying, selling a home or facing a financial hardship, I"d like the opportunity to earn your confidence and your business.

"Over the last 20 years, I have experienced the purchase and sale of several homes, and have dealt with a variety of Realtors. By far, my experience with Gary and Jennifer Ricco has been the most satisfying of all. From the moment we met Gary and Jennifer, I was extremely impressed with their professionalism. The sale of this house was a very difficult decision for my family and me, due to the tragic circumstances surrounding this resolution. When I called Jennifer to arrange the first meeting, she was empathetic, showed great compassion for my situation, and was strongly equipped with all sorts of relevant information. Through the entire process they explained every procedure, had great strategy in place, and went above and beyond to promote the sale of the house. Additionally, for hours and days at a time, Gary relentlessly negotiated with the mortgage company in order to get the lengthy and tedious process sorted out. Fortunately and thanks to all their great efforts the house was sold! My family and I will forever be grateful for their hard work and determination. Because of this wonderful support; we can now look forward to owning another home in the not so distant future."
Jeanette Marquez Fri May 29

"Caring, diligent, aggressive, thoughtful are just some of the character traits that describe the dynamic duo of Jennifer & Gary Ricco. The short sale process was a long process that had its share of frustration and angst; however, Jennifer & Gary never gave an inch to the lender, worked constantly with the lender and other parties to ensure we received the best possible terms for the sale of our property. In addition, they walked us through the process, kept us up to date with the latest information, and remained positive throughout the entire process. Jennifer & Gary worked out a great deal for us that allowed us to sell our property as well move on with our life at a new residence that Jennifer & Gary were instrumental in helping us to secure. We could not have closed the sale of our home with such agreeable terms and moved on successfully to our new residence without the tremendous efforts & skills of both Jennifer & Gary. We sincerely thank you and will recommend you both to our friends, family & peers."

Asked Wed Jul 8 2009, 23:30 by Samir - Foreclosure in Valencia - 6 answers

Gary Ricco answered:

Samir,
I have a working relationship with IndyMac, which is now One West Bank's, senior management. I have successfully negotiated short sales with IndyMac / OWB, should that be the option required to reslove your hardship. I am currently assisting a client, where IndyMac / One West Bank services the loan for Fannie Mae, which has their own rules regarding Loan Modifications and Short Sales.

You have several options to avoid foreclosure, however now that the NOD has been issued you need a professional experienced in postponing the NOTS. I am experienced in anaylzing your financial situation, which will be required in order to show you the options & programs available to resolve your hardship. I am current on President Obama's Making Homes Affordable" Streamlined Modification Program" and can provide you guidance on this program.

Please feel free to contact me for a free consultation, this is a very complex situation with to many variables to provide you with an indepth answer to your question. At this point it's unnecessary to pay attorney fee's, should your situation require an attorney I have a great referral.

Sincerely,
Gary Ricco, Certifed Distressed Property Expert
