Ditech, an abandoned house, tracking down DM

[Brandon McLean]

I have a friend who is very desperate to learn about a particular piece of property in eastern NC. It's abandoned but has a first mortgage on it owned by Ditech. Does anybody know if Ditech is selling off their NPL's, or who or how to contact someone who can make a decision. 

He's actually been in contact with the owner, who is (a few months ago, maybe "was") ready to cooperate and sell it or sign it over.  I guess they've called every number Ditech and Green Tree ever had but he's hitting nothing but brick walls. 

What should I tell him to do? Get it under contract with the owner and then try to close with an attorney or something? 

Maybe they would take an attorney calling for a pay off more seriously? Quit Claim? 

I told him it's probably dead in the water for a while, but he is basically begging me for any help I can offer. He's helped me on a lot of big things in my life, so throwing this out to this group is the least I can do. Forgive me if you think this a dumb question, feel free to scold. DM = decision maker.

thanks,

Brandon
