Kathleen Daniels | Short Sale Agent
Kathleen Daniels specializes in helping people find answers to their short sale questions, getting the home sold quickly, and the short sale approved by the lender in the shortest time. She understands the short sale process is stressful for homeowners. The longer the process drags out the more stress homeowners feel.
It is not a time to delay if you have missed even just one mortgage payment. Homeowners do not want to wait until it is too late. Most lenders will proceed with foreclosure if the homeowners/borrowers do not attempt to work something out. Foreclosure delay tactics may backfire. Contact Kathleen to understand your options.
Short Sale Realtor fees and all other fees related to the sale are approved by the lender. From Kathleen’s experience, it is rare for a lender or servicer to require a homeowner to make a financial contribution as a condition of approving the sale.
Beware of self-proclaimed experts with short sales. Before you hire an agent be sure to verify they are a certified short sale specialist and have experience. Also, confirm they are not hiring out negotiations with the lender to a third party who may or may not be licensed real estate agents and trained negotiators.
If you are facing foreclosure, one way to help reduce the stress is to hire a trained and certified short sale agent to manage San Jose short sales or the short sale of a home anywhere in Santa Clara County.
