Don & Kathy Vallee HELP…people figure out if they should consider a “Short Sale”

Resolve to Face the Facts!

Since 2007, 8.9 million homes have been lost to foreclosure and millions more are headed in that direction.

As a real estate professionals who have earned the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) designation, our mission is to ensure that you or anyone you care about does not add to that statistic.

The unfortunate fact is that so many homeowners who have played by the rules and never imagined that they could be facing foreclosure are now in a very tough situation.

More than one in four homeowners owes more on their mortgage than their home is worth. On top of that staggering statistic is the fact that millions of homeowners are unemployed, or underemployed and falling further behind every month.

Sound familiar? Rest assured you are not alone.

If you feel that you are headed toward foreclosure, or if you are avoiding facing that fact, the sooner you reach out for help, the better your options.

As a distressed property consultants, we help distressed homeowners to work through every aspect of the denial and discouragement that accompanies a mortgage which is no longer manageable, and in the process, to move toward financial solvency.

If you or someone you care about is ready to tip the scales back toward financial solvency, contact me today and let’s get started.

 Local Agent Provides Resource on Foreclosure Alternatives, Short Sales 

For homeowners struggling with mortgage payments, website explains differences between foreclosure and short sales.

 Tucson, AZ – September 29, 2010 – Local CDPE-designated agent, Don and KathyVallee of RE/MAX Excalibur Realty, has released an informational report comparing the consequences of a short sale and foreclosure. 

The report can be found at www.CallToAvoidForeclosure.com and provides a thorough explanation of how a short sale may potentially improve a homeowner’s future financial stability.

 “Considering how damaging foreclosure can be for the homeowner and the surrounding community, it is important that everyone knows all of the alternatives available,” Vallee said. “This report is the latest addition to my website, which gives distressed homeowners a way to inform themselves on their best options.”

 Currently, one in seven mortgages is in some stage of delinquency. Once a mortgage payment has been missed, the lender has the ability to begin the foreclosure process. A short sale can potentially minimize the damage to one’s future loan eligibility, credit score, employment, security clearance and more.

 “We often see homeowners enter the foreclosure process without any visible means of professional guidance,” Vallee said. “My hope is to inform the community that there are legal, dignified alternatives to foreclosure.”

 The CDPE designation provides real estate agents with the tools and knowledge needed to efficiently, ethically and effectively pursue foreclosure alternatives, specifically short sales. In addition to their initial training, CDPE-designated agents are connected to a network of professionals via the Distressed Property Institute, allowing them to remain regularly updated on the complex and quickly changing real estate market.
