5. What Happens in A Short Sale
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. What Will I Owe the Lender(s)?
● 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. How Do We Come Up With the Price
For Your Property?
● 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. What To Look For In a
Short Sale Agent?
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.
