Foreclosure situations tend to be

There are countless hardships that can
turn home ownership from joy into a burden. The loss of income, a job, illness
with high medical expenses, or an unexpected hike in your monthly payments can
all make a mortgage unaffordable. But ignoring the bills will not make them go
away, it will only make things worse. If you need help, there are approaches
that can help, but you may not be familiar with them. One of these is a “short
sale”. As a Short Sale Specialist we work with a lot of home owners in financial
hardship, educating and guiding them through the short sale process.
In an approved short sale, the existing
lender agrees to accept less than is owed for the property, and the home owner
is relieved of the debt. A lender may be willing to do this because it spares a
lot of hassle and expense involved in executing a foreclosure. A short sale or
deed-in-lieu is a very smart move for both the lender and the home owner because
the home will maintain it’s value better when occupied, and the home
owner/borrower gets to reduce their debt. load.
We will work with your Bank/Lender to
negotiate a lower payoff amount on your home, to get it down to a price where it
w ill sell in this market. It costs Bank/Lender around $58,000. on average to go
through a foreclosure process. considering this and the fact that high numbers
of foreclosures can make your Banks/Lenders look bad to it’s Investors, it is in
everyone’s best interest to accept a short sale. Any offer in a short sale
situation is subject to approval by the Bank/Lender (existing mortgage holder).
This can often take an extended period of time, so short sale buyers and sellers
need to exercise patience to get through the process. In the end, this can
result in a great deal for the buyer and seller of a short sale property. “A
