Short sales are generally not easy transactions. And when it's a Fannie Mae loan it can be even more complicated that a local lender. But we navigated our seller through this transaction and saved him more than $50,000. By no means do I call myself a short sale specialist. There just weren't enough in our market for that to happen.

But I was tickled the agent on the other side sent texts says "you're a rock star" "You are amazing! Great Job" And I'm pretty sure our seller is happy about getting to move on as well. The attorney we recommend for short sales also went above and beyond as the transaction got HUD complicated as seller was bringing some funds to the table as well.

The buyers are happy with their new view too. They got a great price on a home.

So if you find yourself upside down and with a hardship that causes you to need to sell right now, perhaps we can help you too. Just call Lane Realty and we'll try to see if you could get a short sale approved. Lots of things can get you approved: medical bills, illness, divorce, job loss, job relocation etc. It's easier to recover your credit from a short sale than a foreclosure.

Put 40 years of experience to work for you

You know I know how much of a miracle worker you are, Tammy, to pull off this Fannie Mae short sale. Probably the worst thing about the Fannie Mae short sales are the valuations, because Fannie seems to pad the appraised value, but other than that, I'm so happy to see that you placed another lucky family into a beautiful home on Lake Sinclair and relieved your seller of this unbearable burden.
