What is a Short Sale?

If you find yourself in a position where you owe more than your home is worth and you need to sell, a short sale may be your best option. But don’t get taken for a long, stressful ride by a self proclaimed ‘expert’…

“What is a short sale?”
Simply put, a short sale is a real estate transaction where the homeowner owes their lender more than what their property is worth and they need to sell. In a short sale, the lender must approve and accept less than what they are owed as full payoff (this means they may settle for $400,000, even if you currently owe them $500,000…even if the loss is hundreds of thousands of dollars)!!

◦Are you facing a financial hardship that you know will decrease your income?
◦Are you getting behind on your mortgage and you’re not sure if you can catch up?
◦Or do you just need to sell quickly but your home is worth less now than when you bought it?
If you are facing any of the situations above, it’s possible that a short sale may be your best option.

Don’t worry. It’s not your fault…
You gotta remember, we’ve all had our ups and downs in life and a lot of other good people are also in the same tough spot as you. Life seems scary when you’re facing the reality of foreclosure and I know how you feel when you just don’t wanna answer the phone any more…

We all agree that we’re in the middle of a national mortgage crisis and that, in many cases, homeowners who have bought or refinanced in the last few years have been seriously abused by unethical lending practices!!

You bought your home and hoped (like we all did) that it would increase in value (and some folks were even promised it would!), but most likely the harsh reality is that now your home is worth less than when you bought it and the value is still declining sharply.

It’s sad but true!
Did you know that nearly 90% of the homeowners nationwide who try to “short sale” their home will end up losing their home to foreclosure due to an uneducated or lazy agent?

Don’t allow this to happen to you!
I hate to say this, but the majority of agents that are “trying to help” have not been properly trained and sadly, they are misinformed as to how to even negotiate with lenders. Some even get so far as to submit your ’short sale packet’ and then just sit back and wait for a response! In the end, they simply don’t know how to help you and you will become one of those “90%” that were not helped.

“Short sales are not easy!”
…unless you seek the help of an expert agent with a proven track record. I have been personally trained by a former Chief Loss Mitigator of another bank who is a career loss mitigator and asset manager with 20 years in the business (he is ultimately the guy at the bank who accepts or declines short sales). We are now helping save even more folks from foreclosure.

We actually get the banks to say YES to our short sales. I have insider knowledge and a broad base of industry contacts that allow us to get our approvals faster than any other agents.

Now it’s up to you…
