Welcome to ExtremeShortSale.com and the Gregory Real Estate Group. Sometimes, when discussing short sale options, the homeowners may express concern about what their friends and neighbors might think. This is understandable, given the emotions we human beings associate with our financial difficulties. We at the Gregory Real Estate Group understand the tough road homeowners have traveled to reach the point of even making the decision to short sale. In the past, we’ve helped by keeping a low profile while short selling the home. Take a look at the video and read below to learn more. You may contact Matt Gregory directly at 661-713-4799.
.
If the homeowner is a little embarrassed about the short sale, we understand, and we can market the home in a low profile manner. The neighbors don’t even need to know the home is for sale. We don’t have to post a sign, fliers, advertise, add a lock box or do anything obvious when marketing the home. The home will have to go in the local Multiple Listing Service but appointments can be made in advance for any viewings. The real estate agents and their potential buyers will know it’s a short sale, but no one else needs to know. Unless your friends and neighbors happen to be active real estate agents, no one should find out you’re selling your home until you move out! This is how we’ve handled some of the more sensitive short sales and it’s been a success in the past. We can do the same while marketing your short sale home. Please contact Matt Gregory today! We’ll schedule a confidential consultation to help with your options and find a solution!

Welcome to ExtremeShortSale.com and the Gregory Real Estate Group! Matt Gregory is an Expert Short Sale Real Estate Agent and has successfully helped many friends and clients avoid foreclosure and short sale their homes. Take a look at the video and read below to determine when how to know it’s time for a Santa Clarita Short Sale:
How do you know when it’s time for you to short sale your home? That’s a good question, and the correct answer depends on the specific financial situation of the homeowner. Additionally, the emotional state of the homeowner should be considered as well. Let’s look at one fictious, but common scenerio and see if this helps answer the question:
.
A Santa Clarita couple decided to buy a home in 2007, when the Santa Clarita Real Estate prices were way up. They knew prices were high and would likely go down, but they didn’t mind because the planned to live in the home, long term. This was going to be their home first, and real estate investment, second! They went ahead and bought a Santa Clarita home they both loved. All was well for the first two years, but in 2009 one of the couple lost their job. Even then, between the two of them they had enough savings to stay afloat for about six months. Surely, a new job would pop up by then! No worries! Unfortunately, a year went by and still, no new job. Their savings was gone and they started to fall behind in their mortgage. They couldn’t just sell the Santa Clarita home normally because the home was worth way less than they owed on the loan. After struggling for several months, they finally started to accept the fact that they might not recover enough financially, to save their home. They looked at possible loan modifications but quickly realized, even if they could get the loan modified, it would cost them even more money and only stall the inevitable. Eventually, they learned about short sales and were able to avoid foreclosure, short sale their home, and move on with their lives.
.
This story is actually quite common and this couple is not alone! About 50% of the Santa Clarita homes on the Santa Clarita real estate market are short sales. We all know the stress associated with money and bills. Some of us react differently when experiencing financial hardship. Some think of their financial struggles nearly every waking minute of the day. Emotionally, we can only take so much of this, without it having a negative impact on our lives. How long did this couple really have to wait to finally accept their financial truth, and complete their Santa Clarita short Sale?
.
The answer is, it depends! They could have completed their Santa Clarita short sale shortly after the job loss unless they had a substantial savings account. It’s a question of just how much emotional turmoil we can live with and for how long. Was their situation causing problems with their relationship? You can bet, the answer is yes. They had to be emotionally attached to their home because they planned to live in it for a long while. Was this situation sucking the fun from their lives? Of course it was! This fictious couple stuck it out longer than really necessary, because it was a home and not so much an investment. To determine if it’s time to short sale your home, you must truthfully answer these questions:
.
Where am I really at with my finances? You must face your financial truth! When facing difficult circumstances, it’s not until we honestly admit and face our truths, that enables us to move forward in a positive manner.
.
How long will it take until the amount of your home loan is in balance with the market value of your home? We have software to determine the exact answer to this question. Many will be surprised at how long it could take to get even! Contact the Gregory Real Estate Group today!
.
Have you lost income (for whatever reason) and/or are you continuing to live with less income than planned when the home was purchased?
.
By honestly considering these three questions you’ll know the truth. Contact Southern California’s and Santa Clarita’s short sale leader, Matt Gregory with the Gregory Real Estate Group. We’ll schedule a FREE confidential consultation to help you consider your circumstances. Matt Gregory will help you avoid foreclosure, explore your options and find a solution. Let us, help you, help yourself! Contact Matt at 661-713-4799 or e mail us a mgregory@kw.com.

Hello! Matt Gregory here with the Gregory Real Estate Group. I just wanted to give everyone a real estate update on active listings in the Santa Clarita Valley real estate market .

Welcome to ExtremeShortSale.com and the Gregory Real Estate Group. Congratulations to this year’s Super Bowl Winners, the Green Bay Packers! They have proven to everyone they are the best TEAM in Football! To have achieved the most coveted goal in all of football is a success beyond measure. Since we here at the Gregory Real Estate Group, have both played and coached football, we have an understanding of what it took for the Green Bay Packers to reach their goal. We apply many of the same principles to our Santa Clarita Real Estate business. Take a look at the video and real below to learn more:
.
Think about what it took for the Packers to reach their goal! What did they have to do? I bet their head coach will tell you, the most important mind set each individual players had to adopt, was team work!
Each player and coach had to make their contribution for the good of the team. You can bet it couldn’t have been easy to set aside individual wants and needs and do what was best for the team as opposed to, what might have been best for the individual. Especially with a group of such naturally gifted and talented players. Of course it was hard, but I’ll bet each player will tell you right now, it was worth it, and obviously it paid off! If you’re asking, just what does any of this have to do with Santa Clarita Real Estate or Santa Clarita Short Sales? What does it have to do with loan modifications or foreclosures. How can any of this be of any help to me? Well, here it is! Please feel free to contact us at 661-713-4799 but I’m going to tell you right now!
