Experience!  Combined, we have IN EXCESS OF 98 YEARS of Real Estate experience! As licensed Brokers at RE/MAX Advisors we have formed a special Short Sale Team dedicated to helping homeowners who may be experiencing financial difficulties and therefore are 'upside-down' on their mortgage payments. We are all Brokers and are required to take additional continuing education classes over and above what Salespersons are required to complete. Our Team members have also attended numerous short sale training seminars and participated in classroom studies to fine-tune our skills in this ever-changing area of real estate.

Our goal is to help you retain ownership of your property, if at all possible, and provide you with several options along with providing you names of local Certified Public Accountants and Attorneys familiar with the ramifications of short sales, foreclosures and bankruptcy.

We have created a "Team" system for processing short sales that puts our results head and shoulders above the competition. We are familiar with the policies of most major lenders. We know what questions to ask the lender(s) and how to negotiate in terms that are relevant to your lender(s). We take full control of the process and will provide you, the buyer, and the buyers agent up-to-date information every step of the way. That has been the biggest complaint from buyers and their agents; they feel left out of the process.

Even after the short sale is complete, we will be there to assist you, such as referring you to professionals who can help you with the complicated tax issues a short sale can create. You may also need help in restoring your credit in the quickest possible time, therefore we will introduce you to credit repair experts who can help you get your credit back on track

How is buying a preforeclosure or short sale property different?

Purchasing real estate through a short sale or preforeclosure is quite different from traditional transactions and requires both experienced agents and attorneys familiar with dealing with the short sale process. When you work with us to buy or sell a short sale property you will benefit from our combined 98 years of real estate experience. We are here to share our vast knowledge with you. If you are interested in buying or selling a short sale, preforeclosure property in either Illinois or Wisconsin, please contact one of our Team Members or use the Contact Form below.
