Pre-foreclosure

I continue to be amazed at the number of foreclosures in this county. What amazes me even more is that more than half of those individuals and families did absolutely nothing to stop the foreclosure process. Maybe it's because they didn't know they had options available to them or maybe they let pride make their decisions for them. Whatever the case may be, the bottom line is that foreclosure can be prevented, in certain situations. I'm talking about selling a home via short sale. And while it's something many real estate agents claim they know how to do, very few actually do. So, it's important for homeowners to choose the right agent to list their home, and going so far as to check references beforehand. This will save valuable time, which is something that a homeowner does not have when faced with this situation.
