Biography

Full time real estate practice specializing in the distressed property market.  I help homeowners, at no charge, trying to get their mortgage payment modified.  If that fails, I explain the mechanics of a short sale in a homeowner's presentation that takes approximately an hour and a half and we go over reinstatement, forbearance or re-payment plan, selling the property, renting the property, loan modifications, HAFA, short refi, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, deed for lease, refinance, Maine bankruptcy, servicemembers civil relief act, homeowners assistance program, short sales, short sales vs. foreclosure, tax consequences, etc.

Buyers that would like to buy a short sale property enjoy a confidence that I'll be able to save them the heartache of getting into a short sale transaction that will never close.  By asking the listing agent, 8 or 9 questions about their short sale listing, I'm able to identify the properties that will have the greatest degree of success in getting closed while also identifying those properties that are the most challenging and have little chance of success.
