Successful Short Sale Newcastle, WA

I listed, facilitated and negotiated a very difficult short sale for this home in the Olympus area of Newcastle, Washington.  The home had four liens on title that needed to be cleared prior to selling.  Each lien required coordinated and separate negotiations with every lien holder. Using all my business and real estate skills I carefully worked through each lien.  We recently closed...buyer and seller were fully satisfied.  I am very proud of what I was able to do.......I definitely have the skill, experience and contacts to handle most any short sale. Please contact me if you'd like more details or would like to discuss short sales.
