If you are having trouble making your mortgage payment, we will need to explain your hardship to your mortgage servicer and why this a long term problem. Your mortgage servicer will need to understand the reasons why you’re having difficulty in order to find the right solution for you.

Will You Qualify For A Short Sale?
In our experience, most people who find themselves unable to pay their mortgage are responsible, honest people who experience a life-changing event that is outside of their control.
In many cases, the event itself is difficult to endure. Most of our clients are successful people who are temporarily sidelined by the financial burden caused by these events. We help them find their way forward in a difficult time, with strict confidentiality and kindness.
Contact us for a phone consultation to review your financial situation and determine if you meet the financial qualifications for a short sale.
