Did you know that Anxieties plague roughly 19.1 million Americans? There are many types of anxieties and levels of severity. This discussion will be on a less severe form, yet prevalent in today's Real Estate market with the growing number of foreclosures affecting millions nationwide.

Anxiety defined by Wiktionary: An unpleasant state of mental uneasiness or concern about some uncertain event; An uneasy or distressing desire (for something); A state of restlessness and agitation, often accompanied by a distressing sense of oppression or tightness in the stomach

Let's take a closer look at Short Sale Anxiety. Most of us have heard of it and some of us find it easier to handle head on.  Here are some of the steps to overcome Short Sale Anxiety:

1. First and foremost, do not believe everything you read stating the negative of a Short Sale. We were taught that at a very young age, weren't we? So why do we need to be reminded? Is it stress perhaps that keeps us out of sorts?
2. Take deep breaths to analyze your particular situation. Imagine a Happy place!
3. Determine your goals:
   1. Avoid Foreclosure
   2. Be qualified to purchase again in a few years as FHA guidelines suggest in a Short Sale
4. Find a Professional to assist you.
   1. When you need Heart Surgery do you seek the advice of a General Practitioner or a Specialist? Seek out a Realtor who has had success with Short Sales, just like you would with your Heart Specialist.
5. When something causes anxiety we tend to avoid it. Do not avoid a Short Sale if it can make a positive difference in your life. Seek help and guidance.
6. If you're interested in a Short Sale and your current Realtor will not help you, seek out someone who will. Remember it's your decision. Do not let another's anxiety get in your way.
7. Have hope, be committed to a successful outcome and all can work out.

So the next time someone tells you to run from a Short Sale due to their anxieties, remember to take a deep breath and follow the steps above. Happy healing!

The more you know, the better prepared, the better the outcome.
