Understanding Deficiency Judgements-What Happens When You Let Your Home go to Foreclosure?
July 22nd, 2011 categories: Foreclosures, General RE Info, Tips for Sellers, Worth Sharing
Make an Informed Decision…
When we are approached by a Homeowner who is is considering stop or already stopped paying his mortgage we recommend them to talk to a foreclosure defense attorneys to get a good understanding of what they are getting into (Actually it would be better to meet 2 or 3 to get different points of view). A few years ago most attorneys offered a free first consultation but lately we have heard that most of them charge a basic fee for that first consultation; and I find it’s just fair! Even if you have to pay, it’s important to understand the possible consequences of a short sale, a foreclosure or any other option you may be considering. It is your opportunity to ask all the questions you may have.
In our Rotary Club Meeting this morning we had Roy Oppenheim as a guest speaker and he mentioned his Law Blog. We found in his site this great video that can’t explain better what a Deficiency Judgement is and how it can affect YOU.
If you are considering walking away from your home please call us at (954) 588-7260 or contact us and we can provide you with a few names of attorneys you may contact to set up that important meeting and to help you know how much your home is worth in Today’s market.

59 Homes Closed in Weston
In the last few months I have experienced being involved in multiple offers situations in most transactions…it’s a sign of either shortage of inventory and/or an early start of the spring and early summer high season for our area. We are still having a lot of issues with appraisals where we can notice that buyer’s offers being often higher than appraised values.

A Comprehensive Site…with an explanation of every possible option to guide you through tough times; even a link to free housing councelors.
We all have heard of the many, but some times hard to get options, to stay in the home. With detailed explanations of the benefits, how does each option works, how to start the process and even videos of people facing similar situations.
Options to Stay in Your Home:
Refinance
Repayment Plan

Options to Leave Your Home:
Short Sale
Deed-in-Lieu
It is very important to study your options before making a decision like letting go your home to foreclosure. As time goes by Short Sales with some banks are moving faster than in the past I also know a lot of people who have been able to refinance there home. The clue for any of the options is patience and preparation. Provide all the requested information and chances are you will find your best alternative. I have noticed that homeowners get easily discourage if they try to contact their bank and don’t get any feedback…you have to get educated and KEEP TRYING.
Good Luck!!!

*Three of the major Law Firms handling Foreclosures in South Florida are under investigation.
Who know for how long the word FORECLOSURE will be around us as part of our everyday conversations!
