prince william county short sales: Getting Your Bristow, VA Short Sale Offer Accepted by the Seller is Half the Battle - 12/27/09 12:35 PM

This time last year, Bristow short … (8 comments)

What is a Short Sale? You've heard the term on news programs, seen it in ads for homes, and still wonder, "What is a short sale?"
A short sale occurs when a home seller owes more on their mortgage(s) than they will get for the sale of their home. In other words, market value of the home is below what is due the mortgage holder. The clues to determining whether or not a home is a short sale can be picked up in the phrases, "Subject to bank approval," or "Subject to third party approval," that you will see in the … (6 comments)
