1/28/2025 - LOW INCOME HOUSING WITH KELCEY MORANGE

Kelcey Morange is an expert lender with 20 plus years in housing and mortgage finance. She is an expert in low income and section 8 housing and is passionate about housing access.

Raised largely in institutional apartments, she has worked for 20+ years in housing and mortgage finance. Her career spans non-profit shelter and group-homes, community lending and underwriting, advocacy and foreclosure prevention, and mortgage product development. She has worked closely with the Massachusetts Housing Finance Authority, Massachusetts Affordable Housing Alliance, Redfin, and several regional financial institutions. In each role, she has come to revere the safety, stability, community and civic engagement, and foundational security that come from being safely housed.

In her role as a mortgage loan originator, she supports thousands of clients through the home buying process. The purchase is one of pride, but the preparation can be both novel and frightening - many clients relay little introduction to financial concepts, mistrust of financial systems, and a growing sense that American economic opacity is hopelessly “have” and “have-not” by design. These frustrations highlight what for many is a fractured and dangerously limited access to financial education, and inspire Kelcey to demystify mortgage mechanics, securities, and the larger economic landscape they comprise.

When she is not working, she enjoys obscure history, mediocre coffee, and animal rescue.

She lives in Dorchester with her partner, and manages a small, residential mortgage team at Main Street Home Loans in Hingham, MA.

She is licensed by the NMLS in MA, RI, and CT.

Short Sales with Attorney Andrew Coppo With Greater Boston Short Sales
When - February 25, 2025 6:00pm  
Elk's Club, 21 School St, Randolph, MA
 
Andrew Coppo is a real estate attorney admitted to practice in Massachusetts as well as the owner of Greater Boston Short Sales, LLC (GBSS) and Of Counsel Attorney at SKM Title & Closing Services, P.C. 

GBSS facilitates the sale of distressed, or “underwater” homes by negotiating the sale of non-performing assets with all secured lien holders. Lenders prefer to dispose of a non-performing mortgage loans without having the added expense of hiring attorneys and going through the foreclosure process. By avoiding foreclosure, the bank can save thousands of dollars in legal fees while at the same time allowing homeowners to vacate the property without having to go through the foreclosure or eviction process.
 
Andrew started Greater Boston Short Sales, LLC, in response to the growing inventory of foreclosed homes in Massachusetts. As record numbers of homeowners began defaulting on mortgage payments, lenders also encountered legal issues when they attempted to foreclose on homes in Massachusetts. The industry needed a way for lenders to get rid of distressed properties without having to go through the legal system. Homeowners needed a way to get rid of the mortgages they could no longer afford.

As someone who spent a majority of the last decade working with foreclosure departments for each of the major lending institutions, Coppo recognized the need for an independent third-party who could facilitate the short sale between lenders and homeowners. GBSS has an extraordinary short sale success rate because its attorneys are familiar with lenders’ specific short sale policies and procedures. As a result, GBSS can quickly assess whether your property qualifies for a short sale and estimate how long it will take to get your short sale to the closing table.

Andrew cover the short sale process and how investors will be able to work with homeowners facing foreclosure.
