Many “Short Sale” transactions are successfully completed without the aid of an attorney, however I always counsel my clients to seek legal advice from either an asset protection or a bankruptcy attorney. Forward thinking individuals will understand the importance of mapping out a strategy to insulate themselves properly from potential deficiency judgments.
Guidelines are changing at a rapid pace. New guidelines from the Department of Treasury could possible change the face of “Short Sales’ in a dramatic way. It is important to understand the laws of your respective state and how this can affect your “Short Sale” transaction. In Nevada, we are a recourse state, with the laws affecting individuals in various ways depending on the type of transaction it is…whether it is a “Foreclosure“, “Short Sale“, “First Trust Deed“, or “Second Trust Deed“, it is a minefield to navigate. Being a Certified Short Sale specialist, I understand how difficult this can be for the individual who is in trouble financially.
A good attorney, who is experienced in this area can structure your assets and protect you, creatively, within the confines of the law. Understand your rights. Empower your financial well being. Get good legal advice prior to making a decision on how to move forward with these types of real estate transactions.
The Law Offices of Gary Fales & Associates is the type of firm that will give you strong direction. They will work hand in hand with you to plan an exit strategy that makes sense…an empowering move…

Being an entrepreneur has given me a deep appreciation for individuals who are success oriented and never give up. The drive to always “push through” is a trait of successful people.
I have been fortunate to associate myself with many successful individuals over my life. It began with my father who instilled in me the ability to step outside of the box…to create something out of nothing. He taught me the importance of integrity in business...traits that I have incorporated into the various business models I employ.
I spent the first ten years of my career in the medical field. I worked side by side with amazing individuals who put their own self-interests aside in order to nurture others back to good health. Many times I witnessed life and death situations. It was always humbling to experience the team-work that evolved around trying to save a lives.
As my career path evolved into the business world, not only could I bring those experiences into my persona, I saw a need to spread information…real information for real situations. A close friend of mine began to mentor me in aspects of blogging. He has given me incredible insight into how a blog should be developed…how to focus my passion for helping mentor people to becoming successful entrepreneurs. This passion for mentoring others began when I was a young child and continues today. It is not about me, but rather those who have influenced my life.
I am a work-out addict and a real “ski dog”. Sorry guys and gals…I do not “ride”. I live for deep powder and steep chutes. I love the feeling of looking over the edge of a steep run…feel my heart beat faster with that adrenaline rush and then “jump in”. I love golf…but I always wonder if I will ever break 100…lol! Most of all, I love my wonderful family…they are the best! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you feel empowered today.
