Your Maryland Short Sale Specialist Has a Proven Record of Short Sale Success

A short sale specialist’s ultimate objective should be to help you avoid foreclosure and potential bankruptcy, while preserving your credit history and your dignity. You will see results when you work with a Certified Distressed Property Expert like Vladimir Kats.

As a true short sale specialist, I understand the differences between various types of short sale options available to the short sale seller and know how to turn those differences into advantages for our clients.

A homeowner who may qualify for HAFA short sale has to go through a different process and has a different timeline than someone who has an FHA or VA mortgage, for example.

Different sets of paperwork are required from lender to lender that also have different guidelines for diverse types of loans. Being oblivious to these distinctions may result in serious financial ramifications for homeowners in distress.

There is much more that makes a short sale different from a standard sale of a home. To learn more and to get expert help from a team of short sale specialists contact us today.

What makes a successful short sale transaction?

To us, it is a transaction in which the homeowner in distress understood his or her options and had right expectations about the short sale process.

It is a transaction in which our clients were kept informed about each step of the way and participated in the decision making. Furthermore, it is a transaction in which we minimized the financial and credit score ramifications for our clients.

And finally, it is a transaction after which prospects of foreclosure becomes a distant memory.

On this page you will find testimony from short sale homeowners just like you. Homeowners that I and my team of short sale specialist have helped to avoid foreclosure and get on the path to financial recovery.

“Thank you Vlad for your help in selling the four investment properties that I had and was over $100K under water on each.

$8K condo lien negotiated down to $1K and got it covered by the short sale lender

Details: Condo in Columbia with a very high outstanding condo fee balance. The lender cut down balance owed almost in half and our team of short sale specialists was able to negotiate partial deficiency waiver. FHA buyer found within 2 months of listing.

Feedback from sellers:

Vlad Kats and his team are incredible. They made the impossible happen for us. We had a condo that’s market value was way below what we owed. We couldn’t afford it anymore. Rather than letting it go to foreclosure, Vlad and his team took on our condo. They worked very hard to find a buyer quickly, negotiate with our bank and the lawyers from our condo association. They took all the headaches away from us and kept us in the loop every step of the way. Within four months, they were able to sell our condo and have the bank release us from our loan. Our credit was barely touched and we were able to avoid foreclosure and possible future bankruptcy. We are extremely grateful to Vlad and think the world of him. We HIGHLY recommend Vlad to everyone!

From the first time we spoke with Vladimir we could tell that he and his team were true short-sale professionals. My wife and I listed our house in Annapolis with Vladimir. He seamlessly guided us through the entire complicated short-sale process which resulted in a outcome that greatly exceeded our exceptions. Vladimir and team are intelligent, extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and very friendly. We could not recommend Vladimir and the whole team more highly. They are simply a delight the work with.
