Short Sale Power Hour

Short Sale Power Hour is happy to welcome Trent Chapman, Short Sale Genius, back to the episode. Trent has exhausted a lot of time teaching agents how to escalate. He provides a form letter on his website, theshortsalegenius.com, to give people an illustration of how to impart the escalation idea to the lender. Basically, it gives a universal script as to how you can rationalize that the short sale is better than foreclosure.

My parents bought their home when we 1st moved to Florida which was in 1998 I believe. We’ve been living in it since then and my parents have been w/ CountryWide for a while and they messed around with their rates and made it a variable rate when it was fixed. My mom has called them countless times to resolve the problem but they just keep giving her different numbers to call. She calls all those numbers and no one even tries to help her. Shes tried looking for help in other places but they’ve been no help, not even the bank can help. We really need help because in 2 months the rent will go up even higher than it has already gone and my parents wont be able to pay it and the house is going into foreclosure. We really dont wanna leave this house and my parents have done a lot of work to it. I am a college student in my 2nd year and dont make much money at all, so Im trying to help them the best that I can.
Is there anyone out there that can help us? We need help right away. Thank You.

My house was schedule for foreclosure sell on April 18, 2008. I had 10 days (28 April) to file bankruptcy if I wanted to keep my house. The attorney I talked to wanted too much money to help me. What can I do? I am considering “Pro Bono” Services for assistance. I only receive military retirement pay as income.
