Professional News:

I just got back from a 2-day short sale training class in Rancho Cucamonga, where I completed studies for and earned the Pre-Foreclosure Specialist Certification (PSC). As the practice of listing and selling short sales is evolving rapidly, ongoing training is required to ensure that I will always offer the highest level of service and care to my clients. Topics included setting seller expectations, evaluating the probability of short sale success, working with loss mitigation, short sale ramifications, effective short sale negotiating strategies, short sale best practices, and more.

If you have a friend, co-worker, or family member that purchased their house in 2005 or 2006 with little or no money down, it is possible that they may be at risk of foreclosure. I would be happy to talk with them and discuss alternatives to foreclosure. Please call or e-mail me with their name and best number to reach them. I'll be sure to take great care of them.
