Through our experience and extensive training, and that of our strategic partners, we support homeowners as they deal with challenges during this unprecedented time in real estate history. Our network's goal is to educate homeowners and help them explore every option available so they can make informed decisions regarding their futures. Having a network of competent professionals who are dedicated to seeing homeowners weather the storm with dignity, integrity, independence and without abuse, neglect, and exploitation is where we start. Beginning with the goal of home retention we evaluate a number of aspects, including a comparative market analysis of homes in the area, expert opinions of the future of the real estate market, and the homeowner's current and projected financial situation. If it is not possible to keep the homeowner in their home or they feel it is more financially prudent to move on, our trained real estate professionals endeavor to facilitate a short sale to preserve the quality of the homeowner's credit. After a Realtor(r) has found a buyer for the home our experts handle all negotiations with the servicer on the homeowner's behalf. If it is necessary for the homeowner to move, we assist by recommending other qualified professionals to aid in the transition. But, we don't stop there. Looking to the future we suggest families begin working immediately with our credit repair experts, so that when the market shifts to a more favorable position they are ready to buy a home again. We don't like to consider foreclosure an option. The Real Estate Rescue Network is your complete resource from A to Z. Give us a call today at 816-875-8481. "A must read for every homeowner...

Download or read book When the Bubble Bursts written by Hilliard MacBeth and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2018-06-23 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A newly updated edition for the fast-changing real estate market in Canada! Over the last two decades Canadians have become convinced that real estate is the “safe haven” investment. This widely held belief and obsession with real estate led millions of Canadians to take on massive amounts of debt — tripling their collective financial burden — ensuring that Canada is one of the most indebted nations on the planet. Drawing on dozens of interviews and even more conversations with individual Canadians and couples, this second edition also tackles the economic conditions and regulatory rules that allowed such a dangerous situation to develop in Canada, formerly a nation of conservative and prudent citizens. Hilliard MacBeth argues that Canada is in the midst of an unprecedented real estate bubble and that there will soon be a crash in house prices, triggering a financial crisis. Individual Canadians and families can still take action to protect themselves from the fallout of the bubble bursting — if they act quickly.

Download or read book In Defense of Housing written by Peter Marcuse and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2024-08-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In every major city in the world there is a housing crisis. How did this happen and what can we do about it? Everyone needs and deserves housing. But today our homes are being transformed into commodities, making the inequalities of the city ever more acute. Profit has become more important than social need. The poor are forced to pay more for worse housing. Communities are faced with the violence of displacement and gentrification. And the benefits of decent housing are only available for those who can afford it. In Defense of Housing is the definitive statement on this crisis from leading urban planner Peter Marcuse and sociologist David Madden. They look at the causes and consequences of the housing problem and detail the need for progressive alternatives. The housing crisis cannot be solved by minor policy shifts, they argue. Rather, the housing crisis has deep political and economic roots—and therefore requires a radical response.
