Scott Hayward is a great real estate attorney

Mr. Hayward was hired to help process and negotiate a short sale. He clearly has a wealth of experience and knowledge, which was critical in advising me along the way. The process took six months in total and involved multiple approvals, balancing a first and second lien, changing laws, and negotia...ting with buyers in an unstable market. Scott and his team are flexible and definitely look out for your interests. He had great advice throughout the process and it was a positive outcome in the end. All in all, Scott and Darla did a commendable job and I would not hesitate using them again for another real estate matter. I would have appreciated more timely responses at certain times, but understand he's busy and short sales take their own timelines.

Many thanks to Mr Hayward for the Short Sale Assistance

Mr Hayward and his team handled the short sale of my primary residence. Over the 7 months of the process, the Hayward Law Group frequently dealt with the bank in a professional and timely manner that kept the process moving along. With so much red tape and pitfalls in the short sale process, Mr Haywa...rd and his team navigated through the legalese to come to a great closure position with the bank. Having his expertise to read through the acceptance letters of both my loans on the home gave me the peace of mind that this short sale is permanently behind me. I am a details person, and therefore, would have liked to be kept more aware of the play by play throughout the short sale process. Overall, I am glad to have met Mr Hayward and am thankful for his services!
