Santa Clarita Realtor Continues To Offer Free Foreclosure Defense, Grants To Buyers And Sellers

Santa Clarita Realtor Richard Szerman of Alta Realty Group is continuing to raise awareness about several innovative programs he offers to the community, where residents can receive free foreclosure defense services, as well as grant money to help them buy or sell a house.

“I’m a realtor, we have a real estate company, but it’s so much more than that,” Szerman said. “Most realtors — and nothing against regular realtors, nothing at all — are limited to buying and selling houses. That’s kind of what they do, that’s their expertise. But there’s a whole world out there that has to do with real estate that other realtors don’t really get into.” 

Szerman regularly volunteers to battle bankers and servicers on behalf of his clients who are facing foreclosure, and works to find the best possible solutions that will keep his clients in their homes, completely free of charge.

Recently Szerman was told by a banker that he was “like a magician who reveals his tricks” and that he “can’t let them peek behind the curtain” because he helped a family who was refinancing their house. 

The banker had reportedly offered the family the refinance at 6 percent, but Szerman knew that they could get it under 4 percent through most other banks, and told the family so. 

“Nothing wrong with making a profit, but charging somebody 2 percent more on a refinance that they could get anywhere else because … they didn’t do any investigation is a rotten way to behave,” Szerman said. “Even if they didn’t ask you, you should still tell them.”

Szerman continued, “Especially in housing and mortgages, you get a lot of people that are in that business (and) their goal is to make money. That is their goal, and there’s nothing wrong with that… But because they’re so obsessed with ‘can they,’ they never really stop to ask if they should. I don’t think they all behave that way, thank goodness, but enough of them do that it’s a problem.” 

Another unique program Szerman offers to the community called the Rental Rebate Program gives buyers grant money based on the amount of rent they have previously paid to help them buy a house. Similarly, the Resale Renovation Program gives sellers grant money to fix up their house in an effort to help it sell for more money. 

While all these free programs often help Szerman and the Alta Realty Group team see clients come back later and refer friends and family, Szerman noted that this isn’t the reason he regularly goes above and beyond for his clients in any way he can.

“You don’t do a job well and properly because you expect to do the job again — you do the job well and you do it properly and honestly because that’s the job you’re given to do and you’re lucky to have it,” he said. “People put their faith and their trust in you, you live up to it. That’s all, and if they choose to come back again, that would be wonderful.”
