Chances are, you or someone you know in Orange or Rockland County is facing the possibility of foreclosure. But you need to understand that you are not alone.

Today, 1 out of every 6 homeowners in America is behind on mortgage payments. These are tough and frustrating times. Now more than ever, it's important to identify your options. Foreclosure can be avoided, your credit can be saved, and your financial future can be salvaged.

Through my experience handling distressed properties at RE/MAX Benchmark Realty, I've found that homeowners today have more questions than answers about their circumstances. I have created this site to help you understand the possible solutions to foreclosure, as well as provide a detailed explanation of short sales, which may be the best course of action for some homeowners.

You may also have noticed that I'm offering you a FREE Report to explain your options and help you decide on a course of action. The idea of losing a home can be overwhelming, and I feel it is vital for you to have all the facts necessary to make an informed decision.

As an agent with the CDPE® Designation, I have a strong and unique appreciation of the factors affecting the market, and know that there are options available to you.

If you would like to know more about your options, please call me at 845-476-8115.

I am here to help … in any way I can.

This was forwarded to me. I had to share it.

Traveling down the interstate and needing to use the restroom, I stopped at a rest area and headed to the
restroom.

                         "Hi, how are  you?"

                         I'm  not the type to start a conversation in the
                         restroom and I don't know what  got into me,
                         But I  answered, somewhat embarrassed,
                         "Doin' just  fine!"

                         And  the other person says:
                         "So what are  you up to?"

                         What kind of question is  that? At that point, I'm

                         thinking this is too bizarre so I  say:
                        "Uhhh, I'm  like you, just traveling!" ??

                         At  this point I am just trying to get out as fast

                        as I can when I hear  another question.
                         "Can I come  over?"

                         Ok,  this question is just too weird for me but I
                        figured I could just be  polite and end the conversation. I tell them:
                         "No..I'm a little  busy right now!!!"
                         Then I hear the  person say nervously...
                         "Listen, I'll  have to call you back. There's an
                        idiot in the other stall who keeps  answering all my questions

                         Cell  phones, don't you just love 'em !

It’s easy to be negative. Things don’t always our way & this economy has certainly tested us all.

 My dog escaped from my “fenced-in” backyard today and ran into the busy road. I had just gotten home & had no idea that he was outside. Someone was knocking on the frontdoor. I opened the door and was greeted by someone that I had met years ago. Not an old friend, but someone that I barely remembered. We shared common friends. He had almost hit my dog in the road. He took the time to catch him & knocked on a few doors to find out who he belonged too.

Often, it so easy to dwell on all the negative, but once in a while people can surprise you. It’s really not about my 14 yr old dog that sleeps at the bottom of our bed. Certainly, we’re happy to have him back where he belongs. It’s about people. Given the opportunity, people want to do the right thing.  If we have faith, practice what we preach & look at the glass as half full……we will see the good in people! Thank you Bill Owen!
