№ 03FAQ

Short sale questions.

What is a short sale?

A short sale is a real estate transaction in which the homeowner sells the property for less than the amount owed on the mortgage, and the lender agrees to accept the proceeds of the sale under the terms of its written approval.

Can a short sale help me avoid foreclosure?

For many homeowners, a short sale is a viable alternative to foreclosure. Every lender's process and terms differ, so it's important to get the lender's approval and any deficiency terms in writing and to speak with a real estate attorney.

How long does a short sale take?

Timelines vary by lender and by the number of liens involved. Lender review is typically the longest step. Our relationships with lenders and complete, organized documentation help keep the process moving.

Can buyers purchase short sale properties?

Yes. Short sales can benefit buyers, though they require patience and properties are often sold as-is. We help buyers identify short sale opportunities and structure offers that lenders are likely to approve.
