How to Buy Seattle Area Homes at a Discount

by kevin_kim

Looking for Seattle Area Homes for Sale?  Well, before you rush off trying to make purchase, I strongly recommend you read this article first as it may be the most important one you’ll ever read if you’re currently seeking to purchase property.

Be Careful How You Negotiate Your Washington Loan Modifications

by kevin_kim

First of all, if you are negotiating a loan modification on your own as a homeowner, good luck, because if you lack knowledge, time, organizational skills or a strong ability to negotiate, your results will most likely suffer.  I say this as an expert who has watched multiple short sale and loan modification files go down the drain because a homeowner decided that they know more about the business then myself and/or the bank’s hired negotiators.
