Certified HAFA specialist. New Hampshire and Maine Real Estate Agent Bill Somerset

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 14:33:56 -0500

I have recently completed the Certified HAFA specialist training program provided by Assetplan USA.

This 3 to 4 hour program provides a high level overview of the current US distressed housing market and an in depth review of Treasury’s Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) program per Treasury Supplemental Directive 09-09. HAFA was revised by Treasury on March 26, 2010 and the program is fully updated to reflect those changes.

What does it mean for you as a homeowner? Exit Gracefully

If the cost of homeownership has become too much to bear, the MHA Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA) allows you to transition out of your home and avoid foreclosure with $3,000 in relocation assistance and peace of mind. In many cases, a short sale is a dignified exit strategy where the borrower can sell the home and avoid the negative impact of foreclosure on their credit report and return to a better financial position.

Contact me today for your personal consultation and to discuss your options.

365 things to do in the Portsmouth NH area

Fri, 09 Sep 2011 14:03:31 -0400

After reading a blog post by fellow Active Rainer, Kathy Schowe, I was a little skepticle of creating a Facebook page for my local area.

I took a look at Kathy's page, 365 Things to do in the Palm Springs Area and was very impressed with the amount of views, and likes she has compiled.

Like many other Realtors, I have a personal Facebook page, and a business page. Both of which I am trying to grow. I was a little unsure if I was going to be able to keep up with the activities of another page. But, like most other things in my life, I dove right in and decided to create the page anyways!

So, without further adieu, I have created 365 things to do in the Portsmouth NH area.
