What Is A Short Sale?

A short sale, simply put, is when the bank allows you to sell your home for less than what you owe on your mortgage. For example, if you decide to sell your home, but the offers you receive are lower than what you owe the bank, the bank may agree to accept the less amount. However, it is very important to know how the bank will treat the deficiency (the difference between what the house sells for and what you owe on your mortgage). We can provide representation for your short sale, with the bank to position the sale in the best light possible to your lender.

How Does A Short Sale Work?

In considering whether to approve the sale or not, your lender will require you to submit paperwork demonstrating your financial hardship, as well as other financial documents concerning your home. We have a dedicated short sale team that works diligently to get your lender to recognize your hardship and let you out of the mortgage, under the most favorable terms possible.

What Are The Benefits Of A Short Sale?

Short sales can be a solution to unmanageable mortgage debt. While selling a home in such circumstances may not be ideal, some benefits include:

  • Staying in your home until the short sale is completed
  • Potentially having the bank forgive your deficiency
  • Possibly being in better shape to apply for a mortgage or buy a home in the future by not having a foreclosure on your credit
