Short sale is always a better option than foreclosure for homeowners in distress

Dont't Walk Away From Your Mortgage

Hinesville, Georgia (Grassroots Newswire) August 3, 2012 – When homeowners find themselves facing foreclosure, it can sometimes be difficult to get out from under the weight of the pressure and stress. Homeowners who find themselves in this circumstance are often blind to the options that are available to them.

“Many experts have popped up on the news saying some untrue things about foreclosures and short sales. In reality, a short sale is always the better option for numerous reasons,” says Angela Powell Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) EXIT Team Realty.

“Most people know that a foreclosure is bad for your credit,” said Powell “but not many people realize that it can affect things like current and future employment as well.”

As a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), Angela Powell has intimate knowledge about the benefits of a short sale over foreclosure. “These benefits are nothing new,” Angela Powell said, “but there is so much misinformation out there that it is easy to be misled.”

A Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) is knowledgeable of the entire landscape of foreclosure avoidance options and is distinctly qualified to negotiate with banks and help struggling homeowners regain peace of mind and a sense of stability for the future.

Angela Powell has developed a free report entitled, “The Foreclosure Fairytale,” which is accessible from her website, www.angelahelps.com

The report provides a thorough rundown of all of the ways that a short sale is more beneficial to homeowners than foreclosure.

Helping Homeowners

EXIT REALTY GRANADA

GRANADA HILLS , CA (Grassroots Newswire) 07/30/12 -- Eleanor Dullas of EXIT Realty Granada  in Granada Hills Ca, has earned the prestigious Certified Distressed Property Expert^® (CDPE) designation, having completed extensive training in foreclosure avoidance, with a particular emphasis on short sales. At a time when millions of homeowners are struggling with the possibility of foreclosure, the skills and education amassed by Eleanor will help benefit Granada Hills CA-area residents and communities.

Short sales allow the distressed homeowner to repay the mortgage at the price that the home sells for, even if it is lower than what is owed on the property. With plummeting property values, this can save many people from foreclosure and even bankruptcy. More and more lenders are willing to consider short sales because they are much less costly than foreclosures.

Today, more than 13 percent of homeowners are delinquent on their mortgage or in the foreclosure process. This is occurring across all price ranges, and the fastest-growing category of homes in foreclosure is the luxury home market.

“The CDPE designation has been invaluable as I work with homeowners and lenders on complicated short sales,” said Eleanor. “It is so rewarding to be able to help families save their homes from foreclosure.”

Alex Charfen, co-founder and CEO of the Distressed Property Institute in Austin, Texas, said that agents such as Eleanor with the CDPE Designation have valuable perspective on the market, and training in short sales that can offer homeowners real alternatives to foreclosure, which can be devastating to credit ratings.

“These experts better understand market conditions than the average agent, and can help sellers through the complications of foreclosure avoidance,” he said.

The Distressed Property Institute provides live and online courses to train real estate professionals how to help homeowners in distress, with a strong focus on handling short sales.

“Our goal is to help as many homeowners as possible, by educating as many real estate professionals as possible,” Charfen said. “Eleanor has demonstrated a commitment to struggling homeowners, a commitment that can provide much-needed stabilization to the community.”
