Last week was another great success story. My clients at 5430 W. St. Kateri in Laveen, 85339, were able to unload their home. Having bought in the peak for over $334,000, we were able to help my clients short sale their home for $168,000. This home had two loans, and usually with two loans, the short sale can be even more challenging. However, we were able to have the first and the second play nicely and release the liens.

Is that a bold statement? Yeah, probably. But I used very careful metrics to determine this. I am going to reveal it here because I trust that my readers can keep it secret. Ready?
