Need help stopping foreclosure or negotiating a short sale? Los Angeles short sale expert Dave Rozansky shares his favorite tips and experience.
Question: In all the years you have been in the short sale business and stopping foreclosures what is one of the worst cases you have experienced?
Dave: We have recently completed a short sale on a home that was vacant. The owner lives across town and never frequented the property as it was a rental and vacant after not being able to keep up with the payments.
Shortly after we had done our inspection on the property and during the short time we were working with the bank on the value, an unscrupulous person broke into the house, changed the locks and found a renter willing to pay cash each month for a place to live. The person posed as an imposter of the actual owner as he had pulled public documents to attempt forging the owner’s signature. The unsuspecting tenants were clearly victims of a rent scheming case which is now being handled by the local detectives but this was not before these people handed the imposter $2,000 in security deposits and $2,000 in rent, all in cash.
Question: How did you handle the situation?
Dave: I worked with the local detectives in supplying all documents, proving the facts in the case and the unsuspecting tenants they were given a week to move out. Once they were out I had a cleaning crew come in and tidy up the home and yard, changed the locks and successfully completed the short sale for the homeowner.
Question: What tips would you give to someone needing a short sale on their investment home?
Dave: It is important to know your neighbors to help keep an eye on the property and make sure they have your phone number. Let them know that you do not expect any activity on the home and when you do contract someone like myself who can stop foreclosure and short sale your home be sure to let them know and share the contact information. Everyone wants what is best for their neighborhood so taking this extra step will help secure the community and minimize damage to the home.
