Whittier SHORT SALE SPECIALISTS - FREE Consultations
Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource Certified (SFR)
Stephanie Frymyer and Shirley Williams
Your Whittier Short Sale and Foreclosure Specialists
Are you having problems making your monthly mortgage payments? You are not alone - many Americans are facing the same problem and are faced with one or more of these difficulties:
- Jobloss, business failure or decrease in income
- Personal problems, such as death of a spouse or divorce, forcing you to sell your home, but there is not enough equity
- Health problems that resulted in major debt
- Relocation, forcing you to sell your home, but there is not enough equity
- Increase in mortgage payments
- You are already in default and are facing foreclosure
- You are experiencing another form of hardship.
If this sounds like what you are going through, don't try to hide from the problem, it won't go away, and there is help out there for you.
We are Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource Certified (SFR, the only Certification acknowledged by the National Association of Realtors). Our main goal is to help you stay in your home! We offer FREE consultations and have compiled a list of government programs (like HAFA and HAMP) and non-profit services that are at your disposal free of charge.
In the sad event that you do not qualify for any of the government programs or your bank does not approve a loan modification, again, foreclosure is not your only option! Your other option is a Short Sale which we can help you with. What is the difference for you? A foreclosure can lower your credit score by 200 points and more! AND a foreclosure remains a public record and on your credit history for 7 years.
Short Sales are different. There are different ways of reporting a short sale and how it will affect your credit score. The lender can report the short sale as:
1. Paid in full - which would be "paid as agreed", however, this is very rare
2. Paid - settled
3. Paid - unrated
In addition, if the owner of a Short Sale property is current with their payments, a Short Sale may only lower the score by 50 points.
We understand what you are going through, being faced with personal and financial problems is a big burden, but ignoring the problem will not make it go away. We are licensed Realtors and will do anything in our power to help you. If a Short Sale is a feasible solution to your problem, we can help you sell your home in a timely manner. As with our regular sellers, we offer FREE STAGING with our listing of an occupied home, we will take professional quality photos and market your home to the same standard as a regular sale. You might think "Why would I care, I'm selling it!" and the answer is this: you should care how your home is marketed because if it is marketed in the right way with a fair price, it will attract potential buyers fast, and the faster you will sell your home, the sooner you will see an end to your problem.
Whatever your situation is, we are here to help you, so call us today so we can solve your problem together, you are not alone.
For questions or to schedule a free and non-binding consultation, please feel free to call us 310-308-6107 or 562-355-8120, or email us with any questions you might have.
Warm regards,

WHITTIER AFFORDABLE HOME OWNERSHIP PROGRAM
Even during these tough, economic times, the City of Whittier has good news to report: Besides the possible development of the Fred C. Nelles site (almost 74 acres of land) and the changes in Uptown Whittier (Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital with its estimated $5mil investment for interior and exterior improvements as well as the new construction of "Amber Blu", a restaurant and dinner theater North of "Crepes & Grapes"), the City has been able to introduce the brand new Affordable Home Ownership Program (AHOP) for the new home development site called "The Gables of Whittier".
Under this program, moderate-income households will have an opportunity to get a "silent" second loan in order to purchase a home with an affordable first mortgage (very much like the programs already in place in cities like Long Beach and Lakewood).
As with most of these programs, certain income limitations apply and program specific requirements have to be met in order to qualify. The following are the generalized criteria potential buyers have to meet (according to the Whittier Redevelopment Agency):
1. The Program Participant must not have owned a home for a three-year period.
2. The Program Participant has to attend a mandatory education course for homebuyers.
3. The Program Participant has to be able to qualify for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage for the maximum mortgage amount fixed by the Program.
4. The household size of the Program Participant must fit the available unit size.
5. The Program Participant must have a minimum of 3% down payment and be able to pay for the closing cost on the first mortgage.
6. The property has to be used as a principal residence.
7. The Program Participant has to maintain property insurance.
8. The income guidelines have to be met.
If you would like to find out more about this special program and see the exact income guidelines, and requirements, you can download the program specifics (including the application) at http://cityofwhittier.org/ and click on the "Affordable Home Ownership Program" tab on the right.
I just got off the phone with a representative of the Community Development Department, and at the current time, the program only extends to "The Gables of Whittier". The developer has set 24 units (of a total of 96) aside for the Program, there is no technical deadline, you can apply as long as they are still for sale.
If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me!
Whittier, a great place to live!
