The Group, Inc. Real Estate is
taking steps to help Northern Colorado
residents avoid foreclosure. Over 100
Group Realtors have earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert
designation after completing extensive training in foreclosure avoidance and
short sales. In addition, a Short Sale
Transaction Coordinator has been added to their staff to assist Realtors with
the process of short sales.
Short sales allow a seller to
repay the mortgage at the price that the home sells for, even though it is
lower than what is owed on the property.
Depending on the situation, a short sale can help prevent a seller from
facing floreclosure. Many lenders are
willing to consider short sales because they are much less costly than
foreclosure.
Foreclosure can have a long-term
affect on credit rating as well as serious tax implications. A short sale can be a much better alternative,
but requires knowledge of the complex process.
Realtors who have completed the training understand the steps that are
necessary to achieve a successful short sale.
They also understand the market conditions and can help sellers through
the emotional experience.
Homeowners who are facing
foreclosure should explore their situation with a real estate professional who
is trained in short sales. There may be options available that can help them
avoid foreclosure.
The Group, Inc. Real Estate has six
offices in Fort Collins, Loveland,
and Greeley. For more information call 970-377-4978.
