Bloomfield Hills, MI , February 8th, 2011 - Local CDPE-designated agent, Mike Sher of Max Broock
Realtors, has developed a website report providing information regarding the availability of lender and
government programs to avoid foreclosure, including the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternative
Program, or "HAFA."
This community resource is available at www.ShortSaleOaklandCounty.com and explains the benefits short sales, or selling a property for less than the current mortgage amount owed. Benefits include
decreased damage to credit, protection of security clearance and the potentially harmful affects of
foreclosure on employment. Some programs offer cash incentives for homeowners who are struggling mortgage payments and successfully complete a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.
"Lenders and the federal government have recently updated and enhanced their foreclosure avoidance
programs, making more members of our community eligible for assistance." Sher said. "With this report,
I'm showing homeowners the benefits of short sales to their financial futures, and to the stability of our
community."
In late December 2010, the Department of the Treasury updated and improved eligibility standards for HAFA program. They also enhanced efficiency guidelines for lenders, streamlining the process and making
it a more effective solution for homeowners to avoid foreclosure.
Outline of government programs, loan modifications and short sales have been showing vast
improvements," Sher said. "Lenders are ramping up their resources and putting systems in place to make
their foreclosure alternative programs more efficient."
The CDPE Designation Sher has acquired provides a specific understanding of the complex issues
confronting distressed homeowners. Through comprehensive training and experience, CDPE-designated
