Protect Yourself from Short Sale and HAFA Scams

There are many people out there trying to scam homeowners by requesting up-front fees for HAFA short sales.
This is fraud. A CDPE-designated agent will never ask you for money.

MakingHomeAffordable.gov (MHA) provides the following guidelines:

1. Beware of anyone who asks you to pay a fee in exchange for counseling service or modification of a delinquent loan.

2. Scam artists often target homeowners who are struggling to meet their mortgage commitment or anxious to sell their homes.

3. Beware of people who pressure you to sign papers immediately, or who try to convince you that they can "save" your home if you sign paperwork or transfer over the deed to your house.

4. Never make a mortgage payment to anyone other than your mortgage company without their approval.

5. Do not sign over the deed to your property to any organization or individual unless you are working directly with your mortgage company to forgive your debt.
