There is a lot of talk about foreclosures these days. Foreclosures are real estate owned or lender-owned properties, and they have the potential to offer an affordable option to the right buyers. CGI deals with more than 50 lenders in Southern California alone. CGI can help you learn about home foreclosures with helpful resources and mortgage products that can help make the process of buying a bank foreclosure an easier one. Let CGI help you find the information you need to find a home that fits your budget, homeownership goals and lifestyle.

Buying a home in a short sale can be a hassle, so why should you consider it? Mainly, it boils down to the bottom line. You will get the property for a substantial discount. CGI short sale experts can help you to sell or buy through a short sale. Since the lender is eager to continue to get paid back the money it loaned out -- it may also offer favorable financing terms. Since the seller plays an active role in the short sale process, you will have their cooperation (and most likely won't need to evict them upon taking possession of the home). This is not always the case with a property that has gone through foreclosure.
