The term “short sale” is now very common in Southern California’s real estate market, and although not everyone may understand completely what a short sale is, most people have heard the term at one point or another. The truth is, a short sale can be an excellent solution for those homeowners who find themselves in a stressful situation where they need or want to sell their home now, but owe more money against their property than it is currently worth.
At the same time, a short sale transaction can be quite complex and is completely different from a standard home sale. Consequently, it is very important that you understand all of the facts, whether you’re a current homeowner facing the possibility of a short sale or even a perspective buyer looking to purchase a new home in today’s short sale market. Bottom line, if you’re considering a short sale, it is imperative that you choose to work with a real estate professional that has been certified and trained to work with short sale properties.
The Southern California Short Sale Association® (SCSSA) is a network of specially-certified and licensed real estate professionals dedicated to assisting those homeowners who currently find themselves facing financial hardship. All agents are required to hold the Certified Distressed Property Expert® (CDPE) designation, which is given only to those select agents who have gone through a rigorous short sale training process. There are many variables to consider when deciding whether or not a short sale is right for you – in some cases it may not be the best option. Our certified agents will provide you with the information necessary to help make an educated and informed decision.
