I receive depressing emails from Kansas City homeowners who have never wondered why they should do a short sale versus having their Kansas City home foreclosed on. - Loan Modification

Weekly, I receive depressing emails from Kansas City homeowners who have never wondered why they should do a short sale versus having their Kansas City home foreclosed on. 
Many of these homeowners write with great emotions, frustration and and irritation about how their banks  have messed around with them for months and still never grant their loan modification. They will write about the over promises, idiotic demands and repetitive steps in getting their loan modification granted. Although every story is different, the theme is the same. The mortgage bank lost my documents, skipped my file, gave conflicting updates by multiple representatives, or gave misleading progress reports. In the end, the homeowners received a foreclosure notice rather than the loan modification acceptance letter. By this time there is very little time to work out a short sale. Some homeowners say the banks lied to them, tricked them into going into default, refused to give them documentation that verified any verbal agreements, and then left them up a creek without a paddle.
For these people, a short sale might be the answer. It's not the answer that results in homeowners keeping their homes, but it is better than a foreclosure. Most clients who we help with a short sale, wished that they would have started the short sale process much sooner.
Most homeowner don't know that there is not cost and in many cases the mortgage lender will offer relocation assistance.
If you know of someone who is struggling to make their house payments and have been fighting for a loan modification, maybe we can help.
