Before a property goes on the market, Burton determines the most likely purchaser depending on location, condition of the property and cost of repairs. According to Burton, ìA good foreclosure specialist raises the standards in the communities hit hardest by vacant foreclosure properties and helps first-time homebuyers find their dream homes at a great price.î Burton gets additional satisfaction from knowing his team is helping increase the demand for a skilled workforce to work on the properties which in turn injects money directly to the local economy.
