Springfield Foreclosures - The List Is Growing

Another Short Sale

Springfield Missouri foreclosures are continuing to grow.

Living in the Mid States section of the United States, our market is sheltered by the conditions that are affecting the rest of the country. 

Our economy steadily grows, fueled by small business, great medical facilities, average weather and it is a great place for retirement. 

No area is free from all the "short sales" and bank foreclosures that are hitting the markets, including the Springfield Mo Real Estate market.

My business is now focused on helping homeowners salvage their credit and hopefully recover from the stress of loosing their investments.

Working Short Sales - Saving Homeowners from Foreclosure

Not all home owners understand the term "Short Sales."

Short sales are a way for homeowners facing foreclosure to possibly save their credit and recover faster than turning the keys back to the bank and walking away from their most treasured possession.

I'm currently working with several homeowners to sell their home quickly and avoid foreclosure from the banks.  Many agents steer away from these type of homeowners from lack of knowledge on how to successfully close short sales.

Losing their job, a death in the family, or medical problems are some of the reason homeowners fall behind in their payments.  Refinancing is only a "short term" solution to stay in the home a little longer (if the bank will refinance).  Selling a home in today's market, with falling prices, has forced more homeowners  to accept offers and bring money to closing.  Closing become impossible if a homeowner has no money to spare.

But banks are not willing to accept a low offer on all short sales.  If you are facing foreclosure, call me.  We may be able to help you sell your home quickly and help save your credit rating.

Help Me Welcome Cheryl Willis - Ozark Mo Real Estate

Help me welcome Cheryl Willis to RE/MAX Solutions!Cheryl Willis

Many agents are facing the facts that real estate offices are having financial difficulties....but many do not have options on where they want to work.

I have the privilege of having Cheryl join our company this week.  Her determination to stay with the same company and knowledge of the Mt Vernon, Aurora and Monett area makes her a great addition.

Moving from any company is difficult.  With today's technology, working from home has become more convenient, allowing agents to focus more on their clients, Cheryl will be able to market her current base and expand her real estate base to include Springfield and surrounding areas.  Read Cheryl's blog.
