Many of the homes for sale today - as many as half in some markets - fall under the category of "distressed properties."

These are homes that have either gone through foreclosure or are being marketed as "short sales." In a short sale, the homeowner can't afford to maintain the mortgage, but the lender - rather than foreclosing - agrees to the sale of the property for less than the
balance of the loan.

These types of sales have different dynamics than traditional sales - with more paperwork, often a longer transaction process and,
in some cases, more frustration. For these reasons, many buyers shy away from foreclosures or short sales.

However, if you understand the potential pitfalls of purchasing a distressed property - and work with an agent who has a
thorough knowledge of this market - you can get a great home at a great price.

Thousands of RE/MAX agents (including myself) have been specially trained in working with foreclosures or short sales through the Certified Distressed Property Expert class or a similar course. They can guide you through the process and help you locate and purchase just the right home for you.
