Consultation:  The real estate market we are experiencing today changes from week to week.  I provide consultation to Buyers who might want to take advantage of the great prices in some neighborhoods.  However, these prices might come with some requirements like with lender owned or short sale properties.  If you're not sure you're ready to buy but just want some clarification of REO or Short Sale means, just give me a call or Contact Gail.   Sellers can get up-to-date information about their neighborhood with my online  FREE MARKET REPORT.

Foreclosure Consultation:  Facing foreclosure?  There might be an alternative.  A good real estate agent should give you resources to exhaust before considering foreclosure as the only option.  Lenders really don't want to take your home and sometimes there are options.  Contact Gail.

Buy REO (lender-owned) or Short Sale Properties: REO means "Real Estate Owned" by a lender through foreclosure.  These properties are usually priced lower than others in a neighborhood as the lender is just trying to recover as much of the debt they absorbed as possible.  However, these properties come with addendums and disclosures that may require an attorney to explain exactly what the benefit, or lack of, might mean to you.  Short Sale means that a homeowner is experiencing a hardship and needs to try to get out of their mortgage by negociating with their lender or lender(s) to settle for less than what is owned.  The time-line of short sales is the most frustrating part of short sales and Buyers who need to relocate within a specified time-frame should avoid short sales.

Have Credit Problems?  I have contacts with Lenders who specialize in credit repair.  Even if you have a bankruptcy on your credit, if you establish a relationship with a good Lender, in time you may be able to own a home.  The sooner you get this started, the sooner you could be in a new home.  Contact Gail.

First Time Home Buyer:  FHA is a home mortgage that allows for a home purchase or refinance with a low downpayment.  This is a great mortgage for a first-time home buyer.  The FHA limit in Maricopa County is $346,250.  This amount varies in other areas in the U.S.  For more information on FHA, Contact Gail or visit FHA's website.
