My husband and I were in a desperate situation where we owed more on our home than what it was worth. I had lost my job in the area of our home and my husband was driving 120 miles round trip to work each day when the price of fuel went up. We had tried selling our home off and on for several years with no success. Then our daughter was hospitalized for two months and we had to help her out with hospital bills. It got to the point when we could no longer afford to buy our prescriptions that we realized we could no longer make the payments on our home.

I had done some research on the internet looking for alternatives to foreclosure when I found this thing called a 'short sale.' We had never heard of it before. Shortly after that we were driving down the road when I saw a big sign saying call Ideal Homes for short sale information. My husband and I were skeptical about calling a number from a sign on the road but we made the call.

We were soon contacted by Julia Gentry from Ideal Homes who presented herself very professionally. She answered all our questions and was very knowledgeable about the business. She provided us promptly with all the forms that were needed. They contacted our leinholder and began the process. During the interim they remained in contact with us with updates on the process.

There were times that we worried was this the right thing to do since we did not know anything about their company. We thought ?what if they are a rip-off company? and we are signing documents giving our home to them! All these things crossed our mind but we tried to be patient and let the process work.

When they called and told us we had a closing date we were so relieved and happy.

We would recommend Ideal Homes to anyone looking to sell their home. They worked very hard to finalize our closing and we were very pleased with them.

As part of my divorce settlement in October 2007, I was left the responsibility of maintaining the marital home. Overwhelmed, I scrutinized my finances to determine how I would manage supporting my three girls, and keep up with the mortgage payments. After making several adjustments to my budget, I was still coming up with a negative cash flow every month.

I decided to contact the primary and secondary lenders on my home to inquire about relief options. The first lender advised that they would send me hardship forms to fill out, but that it would take several months to make a determination. The second lender assessed my situation over the phone, and concluded that there weren?t any options for me at that time. Their recommendation was simply to keep up the payments as best as I was able to.

In February 2008, I contacted an agent and put the house on the market. With the state of the market, the best I could hope for was to walk away from the property without owing anything. The property was listed, and went through three price reductions over the course of 6 months. The last reduction would require that I bring 20k to the table at closing.

The feeling of incredible discouragement drove me into a deep depression. I wasn?t sure where I was going to come up with the cash to bring to the table if I was made an offer. I was putting living expenses on credit cards to keep up with the mortgage payments. The attempts to find solid roommates ended up costing me more financially, and I didn?t want strangers in the home with my three girls. I knew that I would not be able to continue the path I was on much longer, as resources were quickly being tapped out. I advised my agent to take the property off the market while I took time to pray and reflect for a direction.

In October 2008, I contacted a realtor that my close friend had previously recommended. In complete desperation, I explained my circumstances to the agent. In speaking with her, she stated that this would likely end up being a short sale. After she explained what the process entailed, it appeared that this was clearly the option of last resort for me. A ll other avenues were coming up short, and I did not want to end up with a foreclosure on my record. The agent directed me to Ideal Homes who specialize in the short sale process. She stated that they are the best resource to engage to ensure the process proceeds as quickly and smooth as possible. She was certainly right. Ideal Homes completed the sale and closing of my home three months later.

My interactions with Ideal homes were none less than professional, sincere, and reverent.

Mike and Pat were a blessing for me. I have never had a problem with paying bills, house payments?etc?on time. I am one of those who pays off credit every month and hated the thought of being late for any payment.

August of 2008, I was in trouble with house payments and fell behind, the house would not appraise in and I was stuck. I did not know what to do and felt ashamed of it. All I could do was pray everyday for an answer from the lord. I went on line one day and Ideal Homes popped up on my screen and I began reading the testimonials. I gave Mike and Pat a call. I was still afraid of all the scams out there but in my heart new they could help me and were on the up and up. The same week Jeff, the realtor, called me and let me know that Mike and Pat just won a car for a year from the Christian radio station KTIS, that was my confirmation that my prayers had been heard and I was lead to Mike and Pat for help.

Ideal Homes did a great job, handled all the paperwork and I was emailed updates everyday. It took 8 months to sell my home but they did a wonderful job working with the mortgage company and selling the home. I appreciate Mike and Pat so much and only hope they can get to all who need help.

"Thank you Ideal Homes for purchasing my home that was over mortgaged. I know both of my banks were very tough to work with, however, because of your knowledge in how to properly negotiate with my lenders, I am out of this situation and no longer need to worry about foreclosure.

I didn't know what to do and it was a pleasure working with you. Your team was respectful, knowledgeable, and understanding throughout this difficult time. Thank you for GETTING THIS DONE! I can rest easy now!"

"I am a single mom of two children who had ended up in what I thought was a terrible financial situation, and was too embarrassed to say anything or do anything about it. I had no time, or money, to even think about what I was going to do about it and had visions of living on the street, because I couldn't afford my house payment any longer.

I have always been independent and have had a good career. It all seemed quite humiliating to me. I found Ideal Homes' website one day when I was searching for information related to foreclosure. From the beginning it seemed to easy to be true. What was the best, was that I was treated with respect and empathy, always. ...someone was always available for questions. Communication was easy and quick whether by email or phone or fax. 

I really felt that they took my problem on for me, and at the end, fixed my problem, very efficiently and effectively. I didn't feel like I did enough to get the great results that I did. Thank you!!!!!"

"We can't thank you enough for helping us with our home. I came across your website on the Internet while I was surfing for anyone or anything that could help my husband and I avoid foreclosure. I was very skeptic of contacting you because of all the scams out in the world today.

Our main concern was what it would cost us. You came out to our house to meet with us and explained everything that would happen. You made no promises which we greatly appreciate! We just wanted the facts. To our surprise we had no expenses. You took care of everything!

You made us feel that you were going to do everything possible to help. And that is what you did. With compassion and empathy you were able to get us out of our mortgage and avoid foreclosure... without any more damage to our credit report than was already happening. We appreciate all you have done for us and would recommend your services to friends and family without hesitation! We moved into a rent to own town home and have a fresh start thanks to you.”

"For more than 6 months I looked for someone to work with me on helping my house sell and I found that a lot of people talked about what they would do but never really pulled through.

After contacting you randomly off of your website and hearing about how you do business, I could tell that your team was much more professional and take what you do more seriously. I wish I could explain to you how thankful I am that we met. I really appreciate the level of integrity that your team had when working with me.

You under promised and over delivered. Instead of selling me on why I should work with your company, you gave me options and looked out for my best interest..."

"Thank you Ideal Homes for preventing foreclosure on our house. We had been receiving lots of mail from people who said they could help, but when you took the time to meet us in our home, we were impressed...

You were different from the rest. We were very comfortable with you from the beginning. Thank you for helping us get a fresh start. We are glad we took the chance in calling you and we will recommend your company."

"We would like to thank Ideal Homes for helping us to avoid foreclosure. It was a very stressful time for us, but Greg made us feel comfortable and came through for us. In our case, there were many obstacles to overcome, but (Ideal Homes) stuck with it and now there will be no foreclosure on our record..."

"I wish to convey my deepest appreciation to Mike and Ideal Homes for the work done to negotiate with the lender...I had spoken with several companies and it was of the utmost importance that I felt I was dealing with someone I could trust. I never felt pressured by Mike, and was immediately impressed with his integrity and professionalism. I am so thankful to have had Mike and Ideal Homes on my side.

You did what no one else could...relieve me of this mortgage and save my property from foreclosure... It was a win-win for everyone involved. Truly remarkable!"

"This letter is to express our complete satisfaction with Ideal Homes. We have known them for several years and have done multiple transactions with them over the years. Ideal Homes has demonstrated a high level of integrity...we highly recommend them to our clients..."

"We would like to thank Ideal Homes for getting foreclosure completely dismissed on our house! We had been in touch with the bank and got absolutely nowhere. We saw an advertisement for Ideal Homes and gave them a call, they were very knowledgeable on how to help us and get our situation resolved.

We appreciate that they were very courteous and easy to work with, but most of all, we appreciate that they did what they said they were going to do, and were very upfront with us from the beginning. Thank you for helping us restart on the right track."

“I ran across Ideal homes from a web address displayed on the back of a van while driving down 1-25. I was urgently needing to sell my town home for family reasons and because of the downturn in the market was upside down in my mortgage and not able to pay the normal real estate fees associated with selling through the normal channels. I was on the fast track to foreclosure. Greg and Ideal homes presented me with a step-by-step plan by which they would act as the liaison with my mortgage company handling all the negotiations while at the same time, finding a buyer for my town home.

Honestly, it was a bit frightening trusting someone you know so little, with so much. Ideal Homes and Greg acted with complete professionalism and integrity in what can only be described as a dismal market. Effective communication was not only promised, but also delivered. I can't imagine what I would be going through now and for many years to come if I had not come across Ideal Homes. Thanks to Greg and the entire team at Ideal Homes LLC for an outstanding job!”

"Having gone through mortgage problems, we thought foreclosure was our only option. While in the process of pre-foreclosure we came across Ideal Homes...within 3 months Ideal Homes had sold our house...we are very grateful for the assistance that we received from Ideal Homes."

"We would like to thank the team at Ideal Homes for getting us out of our house that we owed more on than its value and preventing a foreclosure from ever reaching our credit. The market changed, leaving us in a bad position, and we appreciate all your expertise in negotiating this short sale and helping us start again on the right foot."

“I would like to thank Ideal Homes, due to the loss of one income and ARM rate increases, we were getting further and further behind in payments...We tried to sell the house ourselves, however, with the situation of the economy and the drop in the real estate market, we found we couldn't even sell our house for what we owed.

Dreading the thought of foreclosure or bankruptcy on our records and the months and months of court hearings, we contacted Ideal Homes. Greg met with us and was sincere and honest, throughout the process, I felt he was doing his best to help our situation...Thanks to Ideal Homes. Now we can move on.”

“Thanks to your expertise and hard work, I won’t have a foreclosure on my record, won’t have to worry about this house any more that I couldn’t afford and was a constant worry in the back of my mind, and can move on without having to think about this anymore or the devastation it would have caused to my credit.  My sincere thanks for negotiating with my very difficult bank and getting this short sale completed after many setbacks.”

"I was relocated out of state and was not going to be able to pay two house payments. I started getting behind on payments and would have needed to bring over $30,000 to closing if I tried to sell the house with the current market.

But through Ideal Homes' expertise, I got out from this payment, but most of all, I completely avoided a foreclosure and can finally relax now that this is taken care of.

This was not an easy time and I'm glad that I found you. Thank you for successfully negotiating with my lender and getting the short sale accepted and foreclosure dismissed."

"Our family was going through a difficult financial time. We had a mortgage with an adjustment rate that was too high. We weren't sure what to do, but we knew we did not want to face foreclosure. That's when we found Ideal Homes.

Ideal Homes is a great company. Their staff is friendly, informative, and understanding. Greg was a great help and really made sure we were taken care of and that we understood every step in the process.

No one wants to go through any kind of financial difficulties, especially foreclosure but Greg and his team were caring and supportive. Greg's team was able to get our property sold, we avoided foreclosure, and we are much happier! Ideal Homes' dedication to professionalism combined with their caring approach makes them the best! We thank all of you so very much!"

"Our experience with Ideal Homes was very positive and cordial. We had some early concerns because we were calling them off of a yard sign that they buy houses. I had a lengthy conversation with Greg Picone of Ideal Homes and we agreed because of the grim circumstance I found myself in that a short sale would probably be best for my situation. After that conversation Ideal Homes took over, they knew all the proper channels and we met with a local realtor signed some documents allowing Ideal Homes to speak on our behalf. They continued to give us weekly updates on how the process was going and in just a little over 3 months they had sold our home allowing my wife and I to graciously walk away from a bad situation, and start our life over again without going through the whole foreclosure process. I highly recommend Ideal Homes if you find yourself in a similar situation. Feel free to contact me via email (nrchell@charter.net) if you have any questions."

"I would like to thank Ideal Homes for helping me and my husband from going into foreclosure on our home. That meant a lot to us. They worked very hard with the banks and they kept us informed through the whole process. I just want to thank you all for your hard work and we will recommend you to other people and I hope to use you in the future again. Your'e the best."

Our situation looked hopeless. One of the banks holding our mortgages had just sent us a letter devaluing our home by over $150,000. Suddenly we realized we owed way more than our home was worth and the fight was nearly over. We were about to lose everything. The big banks had won and we, the little guys, were up against Goliath.

I began to search online for information about foreclosure and came across the website for Ideal Homes. We were very skeptical contacting a company off the Internet in light of all the Internet scams we'd heard about, but we decided to take a risk. I called and talked to Greg Picone and he shared with me very gently, but plainly his view of our situation and he saw our options to be. My wife and I agreed that a short sale looked to be our best opportunity.

Greg sent a very nice young man to our home to explain the process to us and answer all of our questions in person. After collecting the necessary information from us, Ideal Homes took over the process completely. They always gave us at least a weekly update on how everything was going. Whenever we had questions they were only a phone call or an email away. In our situation, the banks were very difficult to work with, but Ideal Homes stuck with us through the many months it took, allowing my wife and I to avoid a certain foreclosure and begin the road to starting over with some dignity

During the time of our ordeal, we were contacted by many other agencies and realtors all promising to do what Ideal Homes did for us. However, none of them ever gave us the same sense of security that we got from the start with Ideal Homes. I would certainly recommend Ideal Homes to anyone who has come to face their giant and realized they need help.

We need time to collect all the appropriate information, prepare and submit a short sale proposal and begin negotiations with your lender(s).

If you wait too long before acting, we may not have enough time to help you.

Don't let this happen to you.
