Find the Dignified Solutions to Foreclosure   http://hosted.cdpe.com/kimhelps/ Today, millions of homeowners are facing the possibility of foreclosure, often due to reasons they simply couldn't avoid like a job lay off or medical bills. Those are the people I'm here to help. Are you or someone you know struggling with mortgage payments and don't know what to do? With more than one in seven homeowners currently missing mortgage payments, you're not alone.

GREEN VALLEY CA SHORT SALES AND HIGHER EDUCATION What on earth could Green Valley Ca short sales have to do with education?  Let me illustrate.  Two years ago I had a client who declined the terms of their short sale and let the property go into foreclosure.  They were advised by an attorney that this would be the better option.  They could declare bankruptcy and everything would be fine.  Yes, surprisingly, the same attorney did their bankruptcy for $2700. Well, the husband got into a car accident which totaled the car five months after the bankruptcy was discharged and had to pay over 12% interest for a car loan.  His payments are over $600 a month on a car that cost less than $15k.  Ouch. Now comes the heartbreaker.  His oldest child applied to California State University at San Fran... 06/03/2010

GREEN VALLEY CA REAL ESTATE-MODIFYING MY MORTGAGE Due to recent economic events, many find that they are having difficulty keeping up with their current mortgage payments.  Given the fact that many will soon see low or no interest rate mortgages adjust up, they are knowledgeable that they will not be able to afford their mortgage payment. Enter the loan modification.  LOOK OUT!!!!  A loan modification promises under the HAMP or HAFA programs to lower your monthly payment to one that meets your current economic situation.  First ask yourself, why would my bank really want to help me?  Most would say, because they do not want me to foreclose, they get nothing.    Banks know how to protect their investments; they most likely have insurance that you are unaware of. A loan modification sound... 05/24/2010

CORDELIA REAL ESTATE-WHAT IS CONTINGENT VS. PENDING Many clients are mystified by what the difference between a property that is contingent versus one that is pending.  Hopefully, I can clear some of that confusion up for everyone.  When you as a buyer place an offer on a property and a seller accepts, you are given a certain number of days to complete your contingencies.  A contingency can be an inspection, an appraisal, loan verification, etc.  Typically in California the purchase contract allows for standard timeframes for each contingency.  Acceptance begins the day after the acceptance date.  So if you get a contact back from the seller on May7th, the clock starts ticking on your contingency period begins on May 8th.  LOAN APPLICATION, meaning within seven days after acceptance, bu... 05/18/2010
