Perfect short sale transaction

We had Wells Realty & Law Groups take over our short sale for a townhouse we were selling in Mesa, AZ. We had been using a local realtor who deemed himself the "short sale King". We were going on 1 year with that office and making no headway when we finally got smart and decided to go with Wells. ...That was the best decision we made. In a short 3 months we had our house sold and names cleared off both mortgages and all liens released. I was very impressed with their professionalism, knowledge and communication. Jason, Stella, Chris and Makel were all awesome! Thanks again guys for helping us through the stressful time in our lives. Kevin and Bethany

Short Sale Review

When I found myself needing to make a decision on short selling my home, I found Wells Realty and Law Group on the web and gave them a call. I met with them to consult about my options, at which time they took the time to answer all of my questions and explained all the options available to me. Ultim...ately I decided to sell my home and Wells Realty and Law Group took care of everything from start to finish. They were just a phone call away and ready to answer my questions, explain a process or clarify something on the paperwork. They stayed on top of the process the whole way through and made sure it got done. In the end we had a successful sale with very little stress on me. I would definitely recommend Wells Realty and Law Group to friends and family.

Completed Short Sale

This is wonderful news, and Michelle and I thank you and your team for assisting us with this rather daunting case. As you know, we held out as long as possible for many years with this upside mortgage, despite the 2008 worldwide economic downturn. We had been taught to fulfill our obligations and we... marched along with this mantra ringing in our heads as we paid this upside down mortgage month after month — throwing good money into bad as other voices of disagreement also echoed in our heads. When we sought refinancing assistance with Bank of America, the mortgagor, they couldn't assist this customer with the problem, even after escalating the problem to their Vice President. It took an Act of God for us to stop and seek counseling on this really inverted mortgage, based on today’s property worth prices. We are thankful that in our bleakest hour, we found your firm’s information on the Internet, and the business relationship began. Thank you so much for your ethical and judicial counseling, and your calm, patient and emphatic demeanor. Please truly understand how this kindest has helped us move beyond our pride to reality. We are hoping for a better future and that our family member, for whom we originally purchased the property, will be able to move forward to eventual home ownership whenever the right time presents itself. Thank you again.

"Chris gives everything he has and then some more, to every client he works with. As a professional few attorneys understand real estate transactions and foreclosure issues as well as he does. Chris has settled more than $15M in mortgage debt for his clients. In addition, he truly cares to see the client come out with the best result - often putting in many extra hours with no additional charge. I give Chris my highest and complete recommendation."
