Michael Traum....The Right Real Estate Agent

This headline may look a bit too self-confident but that's what has happened to me by helping hundreds of people, receiving so much positive feedback, and even finding my lovely bride, Julie, after selling her a home...NOW THAT'S FULL SERVICE!

***NOTICE***   September - 2011 .........

The Treasury Department is offering a free online calculator that helps borrowers estimate whether or not they qualify for the Home Affordable Modification Program ( HAMP).

The calculator is available at checkmynpv.com.

In the two years since its launch, HAMP has helped more than 270,000 borrowers receive permanent loan modification, thus lowering their monthly mortgage payments. That number falls far short, however, of the millions of homeowners at risk of foreclosure — which is bad for homeowners and bad for the housing market. The current glut of foreclosures — stalled by paperwork delays — poised to hit the market is already far more than can absorbed by first-time homebuyers, according to the research firm Campbell Surveys.

That is why HAMP is so important. Every homeowner who modifies a loan and stays in a distressed property adds one less property to an already flooded market. As a Certified Distressed Property Agent, I have the knowledge and experience to work through the channels to bring many options to the home owner seeking assistance.

People don't talk about it a lot but finding the right Realtor can be the difference between a happy, stress-free experience, and an unhappy, stressful experience.

First, you'll want an agent ready and able to make a full-time commitment to you. I've been a full-time Realtor since 1994. This is not a hobby or something I do because it looks so easy.  Working for free unless I sell a property is hard work and requires more confidence in myself than you can imagine.   

Second, you'll want an agent with the experience needed to know the local neighborhoods, schools, market conditions, ordinances, etc. I grew up on Norwalk, live in Fairfield, and have extensive knowledge of the surrounding towns of Westport, Wilton, Easton, Weston, Redding, Ridgefield, Darien, Bridgeport, Stratford, and Trumbull.  My 15+ years of experience in these markets have created the expertise and track record of success you need.

Third, you'll want an agent who embraces the convenience of technology without losing the personal touch. You'll love the resources available on my website and the e-mail alerts that I send, but these will never replace the time I spend with you, serving as your personal guide through this exciting process.  Don't miss www.MikesCorner.com/SEARCHTHEMLS as an example of how technology can help you.
