Price Law Group offers experienced legal representation to homeowners
and Realtors® / brokers in California who are faced with the legally
complex short sale process. It only takes one phone call to have a skilled
short sale lawyer from our firm by your side. We can accelerate the process
while protecting the homeowner's interests in order to achieve the
outcome you are hoping for. Having our powerful team by your side can
help ensure that any issues are immediately addressed and the sale moves

It is important to note that DRE, MLS boards and National Brokerages advise
agents to include attorneys in their short sale transactions due to the
many legal implications involved. We provide legal counsel to seller's
to ensure their questions are answered and they've explored all available options.
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.
