real estate: 7 things I learned doing short sales for past 3 years - 09/10/09 02:08 PM
My Agents and I have done a lot of short sales in Myrtle Beach. I concur with Joe on many points. Although a short sale will reflect negatively on the seller's credit, it doesn't have nearly the impact of a foreclosure, or even a voluntary foreclosure (deed-in-lieu of foreclosure). On the Credit Report a Short Sale shows as a "Settled Debt" and can stay on there for four to six years. The Short Sale itself does not adversely impact the credit; the late mortgage payments do. Can you do a Short Sale without being late with your mortgage payments? It depends.
