John Hayes Folsom, CA Real Estate

El Dorado Hills CA – A recent article in the Tampa Bay Times shows how much lenders prefer short sales to a foreclosure. It discussed how Bank of America recently came out with new short sale incentives. Bank of America is willing to pay borrowers up to $30,000 for moving expenses to short sale their house.
