One of the most dreaded situations you, as a borrower paying a mortgage, can face is when you can’t afford to make the current month’s payment. If you don’t pay the mortgage within 30-days of its due date, you are now facing pre-foreclosure action. A homeowner confronts pre-foreclosure action from the bank when he or she is behind on the mortgage payments due to some sort of financial distress (loss of job, death of a spouse, etc.). Pre-foreclosure is the beginning communication and remediation process to allow you to work with the bank to get caught up on missed payments or to work out a loan modification

In today’s market, I’m talking with a lot of homeowners who are considering a move but are on the fence for a variety of reasons.

Real estate is usually the most valuable component of a deceased person’s estate. During the probate process, the executor may sell the house of the Decendent, or person that has passed. The executor is granted the legal authority to manage the estate’s assets. The executor must be formally appointed by the Probate Court to have authority over estate assets. If the executor is not local to the property or other assets, the executor may name a Resident Agent to handle certain administrative matters and to sign in the executor’s stead with approval.

We get this question all of the time. In fact, we’ve all been here. You start out as a young twenty-something in the Dallas-Fort Worth area with the dream of home ownership in your eyes and like what happens when you see a puppy, you say to yourself “I want one.” Especially when your friends start hopping on that band wagon. But the process can truly be daunting. Where do you start?

I recently consulted a friend of mine on listing his property out of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I helped him think through the process and steps to identify a great local Realtor to get his house sold in the fastest way and for the most amount of money. I’m personally a really big proponent for making sure the Realtor you select earns your business. They should pitch you to win your business, coach you, guide you, and ultimately keep you out of your own way (or from self-destructing as both have been known to happen :)).
