Short Sales and Preforeclosures
This seems to have been my week to work with desperate families that are looking to short sales and preforeclosures as a means of getting out from under debt that has become unmanageable. I'm happy to do what I can to help, but there is a lot of outright bad information, misinformation, and confusing information floating around. In an attempt to better understand the various options, I have spent a great deal of time asking questions of some of the more experienced real estate attorneys in the Northern Virginia area. As a result of those conversations, I have concluded that in general the best advice that I can give a family is to consult with a qualified bankruptcy attorney before finalizing any decisions. One of the groups that I work with has furnished me with a series of check lists and questionnaires that when fully completed will lay out the total financial picture and generally will save time and money when meeting with an attorney. I would be happy to share them with you. If you know someone who could benefit from some good, honest advice, please have them get in touch with me. I do not charge for initial consultations, and my preference would be to work with clients who would rather keep their home than to work with clients who are simply looking for a "fast fix". These are trying times for way to many families. The real estate industry has been good to me over the years and I feel a responsibility to try and give back.
