Does A Deed In Lieu Of Foreclosure Really Help You In The Long Run

April 17, 2012

Hello everyone Shawn Polston here with Tucson Short Sale Negotiator, your top short sale team in the Tucson area, thanks for checking out my blog. I work with Keller Williams Realty in the Tucson area and my team and I are here to help distressed property owners avoid foreclosure on a daily basis. If you have questions on your underwater mortgage, or if you are already considering a short sale, please take a minute to browse my website or call me directly to discuss all of your Tucson real estate options.

Today I wanted to go over the option of a deed in lieu of foreclosure for Tucson homeowners who can no longer afford their mortgage or have stopped making payments. Lately I have had a lot of homeowners ask me whether this is a smart option to consider for getting rid of their underwater mortgage. A deed in lieu of foreclosure simply means you sit down with your lender and sign over your property to the bank. It is essentially a voluntary foreclosure and in most cases your lender may not be in favor of a deed in lieu. A homeowner has to qualify for a deed in lieu and it is possible that it may not help in the long run. Usually a deed in lieu will look the same on your credit as a normal foreclosure which is one of the reasons why I do not suggest them. In the case of a short sale, it will show up as a settlement of debt on your credit report and may inflict much less damage to your credit score.

If you are behind on your mortgage and unsure of your options give me a call today to figure out what is right for you. Stop by my website or call me today to arrange a free consultation to get you out from under your distressed property. Thanks for tuning in and I hope you have a great day.

Is Greentree Mortgage a Difficult Group to Work with when Trying to Complete a Short Sale?

April 12, 2012

Hi there, I’m Shawn Polston with TucsonShortSale.com, one of Tucson’s leading short sale teams. I wanted to talk to you today about Greentree Mortgage Servicing and short sales. If you look around out there on the internet, Greentree is someone that it’s not very difficult to find a lot of negative things about them in relation to short sales and how short sales work.

My team and I do an incredible job of working with Greentree and getting things accomplished with them. One of the big things we have seen is we have seen a tremendous number of Bank of America loans that have just recently been transferred to Greentree Mortgage. So at any given time we are working on 30 to 50 files with Bank of America and we’ve seen about 15 in just the last two months that have been transferred to Greentree through the process.

We are incredibly familiar with Greentree. We are incredibly familiar with how they do business and the main thing is for you is if you have a Greentree mortgage and you’re considering doing a short sale, the main thing to remember is we get results with Greentree. So I know you have other questions and I encourage you to look around at all the other videos on my website. If you have any questions, please feel free to pick up the phone and give me a call today. You can also click on the contact button on our website or you can fill out the short sale request form on our website as well. Again, I’m Shawn Polston, one of Tucson’s leading short sale teams and I’m here to help. Call me today and I’ll be in touch with you soon. I hope you’re having a great day.

How Can You Qualify For A Short Sale?

April 10, 2012

Thank you for joining me, this is Shawn Polston with TucsonShortSale.com at Keller William’s in southern Arizona. We are Tucson’s top short sale team and would like to help you with your difficult financial situation.

I wanted to talk to you today about a question that I get asked over and over again, "How do I qualify for a short sale?". Believe it or not, it’s not really that tough.

First of all, you either have to want to move, have to move or have some kind of situation in your life that is causing you to not be able to make your payments. We help anyone that is going through a death, divorce, job loss or transfer, medical issues or many other reasons. We have all kinds of great options for accomplishing a short sale if you are in a difficult situation.

One of the things that I want to get out there is that in most cases it’s incredibly rare that I run into people that don’t qualify for a short sale. If you are in a situation where your payments are not being made for any reason whatsoever, it’s nearly impossible that you won’t qualify for a short sale.

If you are in a difficult financial situation, are experiencing hardship in your life, or are tired of paying on your underwater home please reach out to me. I would love to talk to you more about how the short sale process works and discuss your specific situation with you. I can help you determine if a short sale is the best choice for you and, if so, provide you with the resources and tools that you need to successfully short sell your home. Please explore my website, TucsonShortSale.com, for more information, give me a call or fill out the Short Sale Request form on my website.
