A "Short Sale" in Real Estate happens when the outstanding debt against a property is greater than the money generated from the sale of the home after all closing costs are paid.
The Homeowner must meet certain qualifications and the lender(s) must agree to a Short Sale. In certain cases, a lender can release you from your mortgages and forgive you of any deficiency. There are now certain programs like HAFA that offer up to $3000 back for relocation expenses.
- Financial Hardship: Relocation, Divorce, Loss of Income or Job, Increase in living expenses...etc.
- Behind on your mortgage or facing Default or Foreclosure.
- Cannot sell your home because of a mortgage balance higher than what you home is worth in the current market.
- Your HAVE to sell your home.
The most important aspect of the Short Sale process is the ongoing negotiations with the bank. The lender in a Short Sale pays all fees. Experience matters in these negotiations, they are highly specialized and it is very important to have an Agent that is experienced in working them. We work with a team member that has over 200 Short Sales under their belt.
