When a real estate transaction gets complicated, Keystone Collaborative finds a path forward.
Keystone Collaborative specializes in resolving complex real estate challenges, including short sales, foreclosure, title defects, probate, tax issues, liens, and judgments. We bring the right parties together to negotiate solutions, overcome obstacles, and move difficult transactions toward closing. We help homeowners nationwide from our base in the Kansas City area (Overland Park, KS). Keystone Collaborative works on both residential and commercial real estate challenges.
Residential
Complex situations involving homes and the people who live in them, from low or no equity and short sales to foreclosure, title, probate, tax issues, liens and judgments.
Commercial
The same complex situations, with commercial and investment property and the businesses, LLCs and parties that own it: low or no equity and short sales, title defects, tax issues, liens and judgments, foreclosure and loss mitigation, and end-to-end transaction coordination.
Different owners, different dynamics, the same disciplined approach to finding a path forward.

Broad Problem-Solving Expertise
Our work goes well beyond short sales or foreclosure. We help navigate the financial, legal, title and transactional complexities that can keep a property from being sold or a transaction from closing.
Complex Transaction Resolution
We bring experience, specialized knowledge, negotiation capabilities and process management to every file. Whether the obstacle involves a mortgage servicer, an unresolved lien, a probate matter, a tax obligation, a title defect or a pending foreclosure, our focus is identifying a viable path forward.

Who We Work With
Homeowners and property owners, residential and commercial real estate agents and brokers, foreclosure defense and bankruptcy attorneys, residential and commercial investors, title companies and mortgage servicers. We're a small team that works directly with each of them. Partners who submit a file can track its status in the Partner Portal. Here's how.
Homeowners
You can contact us directly. We'll look at your dates, explain the options that may fit, and, with your written permission, work with your lender on your behalf.
Talk to Our TeamInvestor Partners
Residential and commercial investors: refer a homeowner or property owner you're talking with. Investor partners submit files and, when the numbers work, are often the buyer. We work to help the homeowner reach the best available outcome, and every party on the file goes through the same disclosure and lender-approval process.
For Real Estate InvestorsReal Estate Agents
Residential and commercial agents and brokers: refer a seller who's behind on payments or owes more than the property will sell for. We work the lender side for the homeowner, and you keep your listing and your client.
For Real Estate AgentsForeclosure Defense Attorneys
On residential and commercial files, you stay your client's legal counsel and handle the defense. We work alongside you on the lender and lienholder side of the file: negotiation, documents and coordination. We don't give legal advice, and we don't promise any result on a foreclosure or a sale date.
For AttorneysBankruptcy Attorneys
Refer a client who needs a short sale or loss mitigation option worked on a residential or commercial property, including sales that need court or trustee approval. We handle the lender side alongside you, never in place of you, and we don't give legal advice.
For AttorneysMortgage Servicers
We work collaboratively with servicers on residential and commercial files to help the homeowner or property owner reach the best available outcome. When we're on a file, you get a complete, organized package, and you work directly with our team, which tends to make the review smoother.
For Mortgage ServicersTitle Companies
Refer a homeowner or property owner, or bring us in when a residential or commercial sale has liens to clear. Payoffs, approval letters and lien releases are gathered early, so problems come up before the closing table.
Submit a PropertyFrequently Asked Questions
Who does KCEREC help?
The homeowner is at the center of every file. Some homeowners contact us directly. Others are referred by a real estate agent, an investor partner, a bankruptcy or foreclosure defense attorney, a title company or another professional. We work to help the homeowner reach the best available outcome, and we do it collaboratively with servicers and other parties. Every party knows our role from the start.
What does KCEREC do on a file?
We work the file to help the homeowner reach the best available outcome. We negotiate with lenders and lienholders, prepare documents, and coordinate everyone involved so the homeowner can make an informed decision and the sale or resolution can close.
What kinds of files do you handle?
Low or no equity and short sales, complex title issues, probate and inherited properties, tax issues, liens and judgments, and foreclosure and loss mitigation, from intake through closing. We also coordinate on sales that need court or trustee approval, working alongside the homeowner's bankruptcy or foreclosure defense attorney.
How long does a file take?
It depends on the lender, the investor behind the loan, the number of liens, and any sale date already set. We can't control a lender's review time, so we don't promise one, but you'll always know where the file stands.
Where do you work?
We help homeowners nationwide, and we're based in the Kansas City area (Overland Park, KS). Foreclosure rules and timelines differ from state to state, so we look at the rules that apply to each file.
We bring people, expertise, and solutions together to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of successful real estate transactions.
