There is a tremendous amount of work and knowledge required to successfully complete a Elk Grove Short Sale and most self-proclaimed Elk Grove Short Sale Specialist have not spent the time to properly learn the craft. Harsh but true.

Can I Short Sale in Elk Grove if I owe Back Property Taxes?
I have not paid my property taxes in over a year, When I short sale in  Elk Grove will I have to pay the back taxes a client recently asked us. The answer is no.

What does it cost to complete an Elk Grove Short Sale? Great question. Here is the beauty of a Elk Grove short sale. The commissions, back property taxes, closing costs including escrow fees and title insurance, any seller credits for buyers closing costs and even county transfer taxes are paid for by the bank. What we ask is that you maintain the HOA dues, water sewer and garbage and pay your utilities. While we have been successful in getting these covered by the bank, in most cases those fees are very difficult to get covered.
