We Place a Special Focus on Short Sales

Realtors, brokers and title companies aren’t compensated for the labor-intensive efforts necessary to get a short sale approved. Unfortunately, banks are typically overwhelmed and understaffed in their loss mitigation and short sale departments. Securing the bank’s approval for a short sale can take several months, during which time you can be tied up for hours on the telephone instead of marketing your listings. Attorney T. Scott Galloway will work with your clients to negotiate the best short sale price possible with their mortgage holder. We are often able to get the mortgage bank to agree to terms after the homeowner has run into a brick wall.

Galloway and Collens has been my go-to law firm in the Detroit Metro area for years. Pleasant and easy to deal with, my experience with each of their attorneys has always been very good. They've helped me with various real estate issues such as title changes, land contract forfeitures, and now property management issues. Best of all they are very responsive and reasonably priced. I highly recommend.

Howard is a delight to work with. His sincerity is evident and the clarity he provides in explaining challenging topics is reassuring. Our work with him was simple, but he gave us his full focus and mastery of details.
