What is a short sale?

When a homeowner and lender(s) enter into an agreement to sell the home for less than the amount owed the lender(s), it is termed a "short sale." The money that is made from the sale is turned over to the lender(s). Depending upon the Short Sale agreement, the debt that the homeowner owed on the house is considered to be fully satisfied. At times, however, the homeowner may still be responsible for a portion of the deficiency. We know the different options that are available to you, should a deficiency have to be resolved.
At our firm, we have assisted over 100,000 families who were in financial trouble. We also offer our legal counsel and negotiation services to Realtors® and Brokers.

Facts Regarding Short Sales

Short sales have become increasingly popular in recent years, resulting from a declining economy and housing market.
Sometimes, a short sale can be the best solution for an individual.
The impact of Short Sale on your credit score will be determined on how far behind the homeowner is on their mortgage payments. (Foreclosure averages anywhere between 200-400 point on your credit)
The Seller(s) may become eligible for an FHA home loan less that 2 years after Short Sale versus the minimum of 3 after Foreclosure.
The Homeowner may remain in the property until the completion of Short Sale, often buying valuable time to save money.
Deficiencies may be negotiated down to prevent the Homeowner from having to pay.

In our firm, we treat each person as an individual, with a specific financial situation and personal financial goals. There is no "one solution fits all" when it comes to financial troubles. That is why we offer the full extent of our experience and knowledge when it comes to lending you a hand.
