After the Foreclosure Hearing in which the Clerk of Superior Court approves the sale of the property being foreclosed, the Trustee will hold a Foreclosure Sale at the county courthouse in which the property is located.  At the Foreclosure Sale the Trustee invites offers to buy the property from those in attendance and then accepts the highest bid.  The highest bidder is bound by his offer the moment it is accepted.  After the Foreclosure Sale, there is a 10 day upset bid period in which another bidder may submit an upset bid that is higher than the reported sale price.  An upset bid must be at least 5% and a minimum of $750.00 higher than the previously reported sale price.  When an upset bid is made, the upset bid period starts over again for an additional 10 days.  This process continues until 10 days elapse without an upset bid, at which point the last bid on the property is accepted and the foreclosure can be completed. If you are a homeowner going through the foreclosure process, you have the right to stop the foreclosure and save your home up to and until the upset bid period expires by either paying the lender the money owed or working out an alternative to foreclosure with the lender.  For more information about Charlotte foreclosure and foreclosure alternatives, please visit:  http://zellersrudd.com/areas_of_practice/charlotte_foreclosure_alternatives.aspx Prior to founding Zellers Rudd PLLC, Dan Zellers and Scott Rudd worked together in the real estate finance group of some of the top international law firms in the nation

With the uncertainty of the economy, legal marketing agency Beyond All Reasonable Doubt Marketing is advising law firms to take a serious look at their budgets. While marketing, advertising and public relations dollars frequently are cut to reduce expenses, marketing experts agree that a down economy is actually the time when marketing efforts should remain in place, and if anything, be enhanced. ?€?When other law firms reduce their spending and cut their marketing, they have less presence in the marketplace,?€? explains BARD Marketing founder and president, John Sailer
