Short sale real estate transactions are one of the hot topics in the law today. Millions of American homeowners find themselves unable to make their mortgage payments and unable to sell their homes for what they owe on them. This sets up one of the most stressful legal issues any person will ever deal with. Families who never thought they would need to hire an attorney for any issue other than to draft a Will find themselves needing legal help to confront this new intimidating reality.
Jim Schroeder, an attorney with our firm and licensed New Jersey realtor has created a website to educate those facing foreclosure and or the potential of a short sale situation. The site is southjerseyshortsaleattorney.com.
Long, Marmero & Associates is generally recognized as a leader in municipal law in southern New Jersey. We believe this site will be a resource for elected officials in the municipalities we serve and those we would like to serve as they work to improve their communities by assisting their constituents. If you have a constituent who is facing foreclosure or a potential short sale please refer them to this resource and to Mr. Schroeder for a free consultation.
One of the best ways we can rebuild our communities and their financial base is to help people who are underwater financially to find housing they can comfortably afford. Clearing the current backlog in our communities of lis pendens, short sale and bank owned homes is the single largest thing that can be accomplished to encourage higher property values and improve the financial strength of our municipal budgets.
To learn more about how the short sale issue is affecting your community and what can be done to improve the situation read Mr. Schroeder’s posting about Lenders and the Short Sale process.
On the dais, in the conference room or simply out in the community, Long Marmero is committed to finding new ways to improve the lives of our neighbors in the communities we serve.
