Is It Better To Buy A Ridgewood Short Sale Or Wait Until After The Bank Has Foreclosed?

Ridgewood NJ – Some people think they can go around a homeowner and buy a home directly from the bank. “The seller has to submit our offer to the bank because the bank owns the house”, they tell us.

They assume that they can sidestep the seller and buy the house directly from the bank. The truth is that until the bank forecloses on the house, the seller owns it and they are in the driver’s seat.

If the seller works with another buyer on a short sale and the bank approves the short sale, then that buyer will get the house. If you really want the house, then it is best to work with the homeowner during a short sale.

However, if you want to try your luck, then you can wait until the foreclosure is completed and buy the house from the bank.

However the bank won’t just sell the house to you. They have a standard way that they sell bank owned properties. They put them on the open market and wait for a good offer.

In most cases, they will not sell the house to you without putting it on the open market. This policy ensures that they don’t sell any homes for less than the fair market value.

Every buyer in the market has a fair shot at the house. Their reasoning is that will get them the best price for the home.

Important Notice

James Lockard, RE/MAX Properties, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not associated or affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed, endorsed, or approved by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?

Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.

However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.

If you stop paying your mortgage, then you could lose your home and damage your credit. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.

This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.

You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.
