Is Fear of Foreclosure keeping you awake at night?
Are you behind on your mortgage payments or facing foreclosure? Rest assured you are not alone. The good news - you may qualify for a Short Sale. You can sell your house, minimize damage to your credit and avoid foreclosure. A foreclosure can seriously impact your credit rating and may prevent you from getting a loan to buy a house for several years.

What is a Short Sale?
A “short sale” is simply a property that is sold for less than the seller owes. The sale is subject to the bank’s approval, and the property is typically in foreclosure or eventually will be, since the seller cannot afford the payments, cannot refinance, and cannot sell for the amount owed to the bank.

A successful short sale is a win-win-win for all: bank, buyer and seller. The bank gets out of the non-performing loan and does not have to take back another property. The buyer gets a great property at a discounted price. The seller gets a letter from the bank releasing them from the debt – with no foreclosure on the seller’s record. The bank pays the Realtor commissions.

There is no guarantee the bank will approve any sale. However, the banks are receptive to deals that make financial sense to them, so it is critically important to know exactly what to do and how to present your case. Our team is very effective at this process, and you can be assured that everything necessary will be done to speed up the approval. Our typical short sale transaction gets approved within 45-60 days after we submit a full package to the bank. Sometimes it’s shorter, or longer, depending on the bank and the offer. Your full cooperation and timeliness in responding to any requests will help assure success.

Where to begin?
Call us for the first step to assess the market value of your home and look at the difference between what you owe and what your house will sell for.

If you want to sell, we will work with you and your bank in order to facilitate the successful sale and avoid foreclosure.

If you decide to keep your home, we may provide you with referrals to other services such as foreclosure consultants, loan modification specialists, CPA’s and other advisors. We handle the real estate portion only. We are not CPA’s, Attorneys or Foreclosure Relief Counselors.
