Do I qualify for a "Short Sale"?

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Executive

The only real criteria for a short sale is - you must have a hardship. you do not necessarily need to be behind in payments to have the bank consider a short sale on your mortgage. If you can't make your payments and have fallen behind because of a hardship, this is what matters- The Hardship.

Short Sale- a short sale is when The lender will accept a payoff which is less money than is owed

What constitutes a hardship

Illness, unable to work

Medical bills

Job loss

reduction in hours or pay

divorce

relocation

The bank will consider a short sale to avoid the costly process of foreclosure.

If this is something which may apply to you, feel free to contact me for confidential consultation.

Thank you for the post.  I think there is so much confusion for the general public they don't know what way to go.
