Why You Shouldn’t Be Embarrassed To Short Sale Your Antioch CA Home?

Antioch CA – Many people are embarrassed that they are short selling their house. They feel like a failure. Others think that they are somehow being dishonest or shady.

Neither one of those is true. A lot of the people short selling today never had a blemish in their credit. They lived responsible financial lives.

Then the real estate market crashed and left them owing hundreds of thousands of dollars more than their home was worth. For years everyone had told them that couldn’t happen.

Many of those people also lost their job for the first time in their life. It’s interesting because today we are seeing as many short sales in the upper income brackets as the lower income brackets.

I’m not judgmental of someone who is short selling their home. I deal with people from all walks of life. Some are high income. Others bought less expensive homes. Either way, it doesn’t matter to me.

I see a short sale as a smart financial decision. I’ll be congratulating you instead of judging you.. Who wants to be burdened with a huge debt for the rest of your life? Not me. And neither should you.

Here is why a short sale is a smart financial decision. Let’s say that you are upside down on a house by $100,000. (If your upside down by an amount lower than $100,000, then don’t laugh. Many people are upside down by that amount and more.)

Repaying $100,000 over 30 years, will cost you $215,000. That is the $100,000 originally owed, along with $115,000 in interest payments. The number varies according to your interest rate.

What if instead of repaying that money, you put that money towards retirement? Let’s say you took that monthly payment and invested it as an 8% Interest Rate.

At the end of 30 years you would have $804.545.01 saved up. Wouldn’t that be helpful in retirement?

That is one small reason I recommend short sales to my customers. You can get the upside down debt forgiven in a short sale. Thinking about a short sale?

Important Notice

Shonn Thompson, Better Homes Realty, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorse 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.

We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. 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.
