Distressed Property Overview
Chances are, you or someone you know in Louisville is facing the possibility of foreclosure. But you need to understand that you are not alone.

Today, 1 out of every 10 homeowners in America is behind on mortgage payments. These are tough and frustrating times. Now more than ever, it's important to identify your options. Foreclosure can be avoided, your credit can be saved, and your financial future can be salvaged.

Through my experience handling distressed properties at Keller Williams Louisville East, I've found that homeowners today have more questions than answers about their circumstances. I have created this site to help you understand the possible solutions to foreclosure, as well as provide a detailed explanation of short sales, which may be the best course of action for some homeowners.

You may also have noticed that I'm offering you a FREE Report to explain your options and help you decide on a course of action. The idea of losing a home can be overwhelming, and I feel it is vital for you to have all the facts necessary to make an informed decision.

As an agent with the CDPE® Designation, I have a strong and unique appreciation of the factors affecting the market, and know that there are options available to you.

Who's Visiting

Let's Talk Real Estate

Yes – that was in all caps because I am yelling at YOU!   There was an article in the New York Times saying that the people of NY believe a cable antenna on the roof of a home means there  are a number of problems in the house and the antenna is the beginning of them.   “It’s a sign that other things may be wrong,” said Ron Perone, the office manager at Herricks Realty in New Hyde Park, N.Y., “a sign that the home has been neglected.” BAD BAD BAD

To be fair, there are still working antennas out there, just as there are still a few working water-powered sawmills. There are simply some people who want their TV free — no cable or even Netflix for them — and they’re not going to surrender their antennas.  BUT – for all of you don't think it matters or have forgotten that the antenna is even up there –  hire someone to take your antenna down!  Hire a professional – do not climb up on your roof and try to remove the heavy antenna.  DO IT!
