According to RealtyTrac, one in every 1721 homes is in foreclosure as of last month. The top counties include Pima, Pinal, Mohave, Santa Cruz and Cochise. The total number of foreclosures in Arizona, though, compared to the national number, is about .01 percent lower. Because foreclosures are still occurring at a relatively high rate, lenders will continue to need legal representation to ensure their rights are protected.
Because of the mortgage fraud scandals, it is important that financial lenders are current with all regulations, state laws and federal requirements for filing for foreclosure. We stay current on all actions regarding real estate so that our clients are protected.
