The MDFRA Gets Extended; Start The Short Sale Process Today

Hi there, this is Shawn Polston with TucsonShortSaleNegotiator.com and Keller Williams Realty in Tucson, I’ve got some great news for homeowners today. Our leaders in Washington have decided to extend the Mortgage Debt Forgiveness Act for another year, so it’ll be around until the end of 2013. Given the timing involved in closing most short sales, it could be anywhere from three months to nine months, I strongly suggest that if you’re considering a short sale and you want to take advantage of the Mortgage Debt Forgiveness Act you probably don’t want to wait to get the short sale process started. It may not get extended again and even this year it took a couple of days into the year to get the job done. If you are curious whether the Mortgage Debt Forgiveness Act applies to you, we can help you figure that out with the help of a CPA.

If you have any questions, please feel free to pick up the phone and give us a call or fill out the short sale form on our website and we’ll be in touch with you soon. I’d also like to encourage you to check out our Short Sale Calculator. It can help you determine whether or not a short sale is the best financial decision for you as well as provide you with your property value. It’s very easy to use, all you have to do is enter in some of your basic mortgage information, such as interest rate, remaining principal balance and monthly mortgage payment as well as your property address. You’ll receive an email instantly outlining how much time and money it will take for your home to break even. It’s a very useful tool that a lot of homeowners in Tucson are using, so I’d like to remind you again to take advantage of this free tool on my website. Thanks again for joining me today at TucsonShortSaleNegotiator.com.

Make Sure Your Short Sale Agent Is Truly An Expert And Not A Rookie

Hello everyone Shawn Polston here with Tucson Short Sales and 520 Short Sales thank you for your time today. I work with Keller Williams Realty in the Tucson region and use this blog to share valuable information with distressed property owners who are ready to get out from under their mortgage debt. If you are struggling to make your mortgage payments every month or have seen the value in your home dissapear please browse through the website or call me today to learn about your real estate options.

For my blog today I wanted to talk with Tucson homeowners about the importance of finding a trusted short sale agent with experience and results to represent them. As short sales have become more common, or cool as I like to say, more and more agents are claiming to be experts or specialists when they simply are not. When choosing your short sale agent in the Tucson area make sure you see there results first hand and don’t be afraid to ask the tough questions. Right now in Tucson there are one day semninars being given that will teach any average joe how to complete a short sale. These seminars do not even require you to have a real estate license and may result in short sale beginners handling your important file. When I meet with a Tucson homeowner who needs to sell their distressed property I am very upfront with my results and my door is open to anyone who wants to know how successful I have been closing short sales over the last four years. Completing a short sale, or avoiding foreclosure in general, is a very important matter to you and should not be trusted to just any short sale agent.

If you have questions about your distressed property or are already considering a short sale please fill out a contact form on my website or call me directly to chat with a real expert about your options. Thank you for checking out my blog and I hope you have a great day.
