• HAMP Takes Hit | Short Sale Best Option

    Welcome again to the Gregory Real Estate Group! Today’s post will focus on the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) that was implemented by the government to help homeowners who were close to foreclosure to stay in their homes. Hamp took a hit this week! Like we always say, loan modifications are only right for a very few! Take a look at the video and read below to learn more:

    .

     This HAMP program was expected to help homeowners who were close to foreclosure, stay in their homes. Unfortunately, it turns out to be another failed attempt. According to Bank of America only a mere 14% would qualify for a permanent HAMP modification. Originally HAMP was projected to benefit 4 million homeowners but that number is closer to 600,000. Now the House Financial Services Committee voted to end HAMP as well as another bill to end the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. The program was originally set to expire in 2012.

    .

    This just validates our beliefs here at the Gregory Real Estate Group regarding the best options and solutions for homeowners struggling with their mortgage. It’s best not to waste time hoping the government or your lender will somehow assist you and bail you out of your mortgage troubles. The best solution is almost always to take control of your situation, protect your future wealth, and short sale your home as opposed to a loan modification. Loan modifications are only right for a very few specific situations. 67% of all those receiving loan mods will default within one year. Never trust the lenders to help you out! That’s not what they’re in business for and it’s completely understandable. They’re in business to make money! That’s their job! It’s what they do! Our government certainly means well but they always seem to be way off the mark or a day late and a dollar short. Usually both! Got to love them though!

  • Santa Clarita Short Sale | Best Choice?

    Greetings! Welcome to ExtremeShortSale.com and the Gregory Real Estate Group. We continue to examine the choice a homeowner might make to short sale their home. When homeowners struggle with their mortgage, the search for a solution often becomes clouded and confusing. This is largely due to the personal emotions associated with financial difficulties. Santa Clarita Short Sales continue to make up a large part of the Santa Clarita Real Estate market. Mortgage struggles and foreclosures continue and many people still make the wrong decision and obtain loan modifications. Take a look at the video and read below to see if a Santa Clarita Short Sale. or any short sale, is right for you.


    .

    If you’re struggling with your mortgage payments the most important thing you can do is be proactive and take control of your financial situation. The worst possible outcome is foreclosure. Avoid Foreclosure!

    .

    It’s not just about credit score impact but the impact on your financial stability. By taking control of your mortgage situation you can prevent further damage to your credit and mitigate against increased tax liability.

    .

    Short selling your home will allow you and your family to repurchase a home sooner than foreclosure. Keep in mind that loan modifications are usually the wrong solution. They are only a good solution if you’ve experienced a short term loss or reduction of income. It’s not a solution if you know you will continue to experience income losses.

    .

    Don’t delay, the sooner you start the process, the higher your success rate will be. If you’re behind in your mortgage, or upside down with your mortgage, it’s important to start exploring your options as quickly as you can. Especially now, because some lenders are only agreeing to extend the sale dates one time. Contact us today to get started.

    Santa Clarita Short Sale Myth Number Six – Banks are no longer accepting Short Sales – This is false!

    .

    The banks are absolutely accepting short sales! Today, more banks are aggressively pursuing short sales and working with those agents that understand them. In most cases a lender would much rather agree to a short sale than foreclose. It’s just simple math! They make more MONEY and there’s less hassle. Some lenders are even improving the manner in which they process short sales and it is helping the process. Yes, short sales are still slow but they are possible and they do close. If your a homeowner considering a short sale, it’s critical you work with an experienced Real Estate Agent such as Matt Gregory. Short Sales are tough and why add another obstacle to your short sale success by using an agent without experience in this sometimes complex transaction.
