A short sale may be the best option for you if you have been denied a loan modification or facing foreclosure.

what are some benefits of a short sale?

  • A short sale allows for a house to be sold no matter how much is owed on the mortgage. 
  • A short sale prevents a buyer from purchasing a home with zero equity and/or requiring the seller to bring a large sum of money at closing to cure any balances.
  • The seller may walk away without any judgments for the amount that was still owed due to the bank and/or lien holders forgiving the deficiencies.
  • You may qualify for relocation assistance.
  • A short sale is NOT a foreclosure. 
  • This is a FREE option to the borrower to avoid a foreclosure.
  • You may be able to purchase another property within two to three years from completion of a short sale.

Is it A SHORT SALE?

1

Owes more on the house than what it is worth: mortgage, fees, liens, taxes, etc.

Divorce, loss of income, job relocation, etc.

3

Delinquent mortgage:
At least 30-90 days behind on payments

fyi:

DON'T DO NOTHING

A surprising number of people just accept what they see as the inevitable, and let a foreclosure run its course by ignoring communication from the lender. Don’t let it happen – the damage to your credit will follow you for years to come. Keep open and honest communication with your lender regarding your situation.

STAY IN THE HOME

During the short sale process, you may be eligible for the relocation assistance program offered by your lender, only if you still reside in the home. Abandoning the property will automatically disqualify you.





STAY COMMITTED

Your cooperation is imperative throughout the entire process. Ensure you can comply, stay in contact, and provide the documentations required by your lender. You will also need to cooperate with scheduling showings.

THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES

If you don't qualify for a short sale and need to avoid foreclosure, contact your lender. Other programs that may be offered are: forbearance, loan modification, partial claims, deed-in-lieu, temporary indulgence, etc.

Marcella takes professionalism to the next level. She has the ability to grasp and leverage what you want and need from a real estate perspective. We established objectives for the sale of my property. In the midst, of the pandemic and in the wake of sudden loss in my family, she was there to support and delivered despite obstacles and challenges. Marcella has the fortitude to think through issues and clearly identify creative ways to solve them. I appreciate her professionalism and resourcefulness. Thanks Marcella for your leadership and get it done attitude!
