I firmly believe that foreclosure is not the answer to the current home ownership crisis looming throughout Maricopa County, Arizona.

Foreclosure, not unlike a surgical procedure, should be viewed as the only course of action left after everything else has been explored.  It is not the only available remedy.  Many Arizonans are fearful of their situations and do not realize that there are very positive steps that can be taken to avoid foreclosure.

Recently I completed the rigorous certification process for the Distressed Property Institute.  As a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), we witness nearly an 85% success ratio in assisting homeowners to avoid foreclosure.   Alex Charfen founder of the Distressed Property Institute believes that homeowners surrounded by a strong CDPE real estate agent team including legal and financial referrals have the greatest chance of avoiding foreclosure and at minimal financial investment to the homeowner.

Not having a clear understanding of the elements and consequences of foreclosure lead many homeowners to just give up.  And believe me there is a huge difference in life after foreclosure as opposed to life without foreclosure. We may not be able to save every house, but we can offer the saving hand to every financially distressed homeowner.
