Transaction Rescue service is a free benefit for members of the CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.) that helps them with any mortgage-related issues or questions that may arise in their real estate transactions¹. The service provides one-on-one assistance from a lender liaison who can help with finding a lender, loan qualifications, down payment assistance, closing transactions, underwriting, short sales, funding, payoffs, REOs, deeds in lieu, and preparing clients for homeownership¹. The service also offers webinars, education, and tools to enhance the financial literacy and strategies of C.A.R. members and their clients¹²³.

If you are a C.A.R. member and you need help with a stalled or challenging transaction, you can submit an inquiry online or call the helpline at (213) 739-8383¹. The service is available Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. PST¹. I hope this information is useful for you. 😊
