Mortgage Savvy Realtor Rescues Homeowners Facing Foreclosure Using Short Sales

Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) February 5, 2008 -- The current mortgage meltdown is still young; but Marc Cormier the owner of the foreclosure help website www.help33.Biz with a combined 21 years of business and real estate experience has already saved many homeowners from a foreclosure tidal wave that's sweeping America. Jane, (name changed to protect privacy) a D.C. area homeowner was facing mounting debts and unable to remain current on her home mortgage. The bank had already moved forward with foreclosure procedures and Jane was discovering that there were no buyers willing to pay $613,000 for a house that was valued at $540,000. She was upside down and drowning fast.

"When homeowners are facing foreclosure on a home that's worth less than the mortgage they often panic and are tempted to either try to sell their home themselves (FSBO) or simply walk away. That's a big mistake," said Marc Cormier. "A foreclosure on your credit report is worse than a bankruptcy and there is a better way?a short sale."

According to Cormier, a short sale can be the saving grace for many homeowners facing foreclosure due to the tightening credit squeeze and falling home values.

"With Jane, we knew that we would have to use the short sale; but Jane feared the bank would come after her for the difference of what she owed on the mortgage," Cormier said. "Through careful negotiations with the bank we were able to negotiate the forgiveness of the $113,000 loan balance. My client walked away without owing a dime."

According to Cormier, there was a time when a homeowner like Jane would face hefty taxes on the $113,000 balance that was forgiven; but due to recent legislation, that money is no longer taxed.

"Short sales offer troubled homeowners an opportunity to save their credit score, repay debts and help prevent American communities from becoming choked with foreclosed and abandoned properties," Cormier said. "I created www.help33.Biz to make homeowners aware of another way to avoid foreclosure. This website offers free information about short sales and foreclosures."

Why would a bank accept a short sale? According Cormier, banks are highly motivated to short sale properties that are worth less than the mortgage especially if they are in preforeclosure because foreclosure proceedings cost them money that they may not be able to recoup. "Banks are in the business of loaning money, they have no desire to be landlords," Cormier concluded.

How To Avoid Negative Equity In Real Estate Investment Financing
Real Estate Investment Financing is simply industry jargon for a real estate investment loan. In a bad property market where rental yields are low, the most dreaded word that you can say to a real estate investor is negative equity. So what is negative equity? It is a situation which arises when the foreclosed value of your property is less than the price that you paid for it and in certain states like in New York, the mortgagee (the bank) can then bring a deficiency action against the owner to reclaim the difference.
