Short Sale:  Basic Understanding



In our recent declining Real Estate market, many homeowners now owe more than the current value of their home.  Some Banks and/or Lending entities will accept less than the mortgage balance is as a “Short” payoff. There are numerous situations where folks can no longer afford their mortgage.  Others may be having to relocate due to a job transfer, etc... Short Sales are becoming more and more popular as Banks utilize the “Short Sale” process to avoid the costs (both time and money) of Foreclosing.  

Be careful from the so called Short Sale “Expert,” as current legislation requires licensed attorneys to negotiate.  We work closely with a legal team throughout the process to make sure the Short Sale is handled correctly, and as painless as possible.  We understand that this is a difficult situation to begin with and do what we can to keep the risk to a minimum.  Certain situations may present other options, and we want to make sure you have all the facts and can decide on which option works best for you.
There is a difference between 
"facilitating" a short sale and "negotiating" a short sale.  

Ask the question, "are you interested in selling my home or are you working for my best interest?"

If a Real Estate agent tells you they can negotiate a Short Sale for you... RUN!!  Here at T.R.E.A.T., we’re here to sell your home for the highest and best price, guide you through the process, and keep you LEGAL!
