    There is hope! 

    baldeagle For home and property owners that are having a hard time making ends meet and paying their mortgage, don’t give up, there are several opportunities for you if you’ll just try. I am seeing lenders doing things today that I’ve not seen in my 20 years of real estate. Oh, sure there have been programs to assist in the past, but not like the different ways of assistance the market is realizing now. “Short sales” (simply a real estate transaction in which the seller sells their property with the agreement and consent of the lender to accept less than a full payoff of the outstanding mortgage balance.), loan modifications (including refinance, adjusting the interest rate, etc) and a deed in lieu of a foreclosure (owner transfers the property to the lender) are some of the scenarios. Call or email Steve Young with RE/MAX to discuss alternatives that might be available to you. Remember, don’t give up!  http://www.steveyoung.pro & steve@steveyoung.pro
