short sales: What is a Short Sale? - 03/31/12 06:24 AM
What is a Short Sale?
A Short Sale (pre-foreclosure) is an agreement wherein a lender agrees to accept less than the mortgage amount owed on the property. For debt-ridden homeowners, those who are currently in default or those who are “upside down” and owe more than the home is worth, a Short Sale may be the best alternative in order to avoid foreclosure or possible bankruptcy.

Dear Homeowner:

short sales: Why is a short sale the best option? - 03/15/12 01:36 AM
A short sale can be an excellent solution for homeowners who need to sell, and who owe more on their homes than they are worth. In the past, it was rare for a bank or lender to accept a short sale. Today, however, due to overwhelming market changes, banks and lenders have become much more negotiable when it comes to these transactions. Recent changes in corporate policy and the Obama administration have also improved the chances of getting a short sale approved.
But to be technical, here's a more official definition:
A homeowner is 'short' when the amount owed on his/her … (1 comments)

short sales: Is Your Mortgage out of Balance with your Budget? - 03/13/12 07:40 AM
It can happen quickly.
An expensive car repair, an unexpected hospital visit, a missed week of work – just a few little things and the life you’ve worked so hard to build can feel like it’s tipping dangerously out of balance.
Once the scales turn against you, it can feel like it is impossible to ever tip them back in your favor again. When your financial problems reach the point where they threaten your home, it is difficult to manage the stress. Sometimes it is even difficult to force yourself to seek help.
As a real estate professional who has … (3 comments)
