3. A short sale is a
transaction wherein your
lender allows you to sell
your property for less

wipe away your debt.

5. You live in the property if you
want to while we market the
home for a buyer.
When we get a buyer that we
want to take to your lender, we
prepare a package of your
circumstances and send that to
the lender.
We wait on the lender's terms.
You decide if you want to close.

6. The purpose of the short sale
is to sell the property without
owing the final balance.
Some lenders may ask you
for a small contribution,
others will not ask you for
anything.
You won't know what you
might owe until you get the
offer from the lender(s).

9. Your Lender(s) have a
certain ratio that they will
accept that is based on the
property's fair market value.
We use this ratio and then
add in the commissions paid
to us and the buyer's agent,
taxes and any liens on the
property.

10. Most agents report that they close only 25% of their short sale listings.
This is because they don't have the training that is essential in short
sales. Short sales take a precise and delicate system that requires care
and expertise.
Look for an agent that has a short sale designation and has closed at
least 10 short sale listings in the last 12 months.
