Berni's Comments: Foreclosure isn't jazzy but it is very real. As most of my clients know, I prefer to face reality when it comes to real estate. Unfortunately, there are many other folks who are now facing a very serious threat to their home: Possible foreclosure. Recently, I have had calls from protential clients asking for assistance in avoiding foreclosure. Some decide that selling their home asap is the solution, even if it means a short sale. Others desperately want to keep their homes by any legal means necessary. Therefore, since I am a member of the National Association of Realtors, I wanted to share some very important resources that you can share with everyone. If you have any concerns that you wish to discuss in full confidentiality, please contact me as soon as possible.
