Question: what is a short sale exactly?

short sale is a sale of real estate in which the proceeds from the sale fall short of the balance owed on a loan secured by the property sold and the lender agrees to accept the proceeds as satisfaction of the mortgage still owed.  


To participate in a short sale, you must be able to verify a hardship (see list in a previous post).  While I cannot guarantee that your lender will participate in a short sale,  note that it truly is in the lender's best interest NOT to foreclose.    Part of my job, as a CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert), is to gather and present in a cohesive fashion all the documentation necessary to support the short payoff position, list your property, and GET IT SOLD!

I am also a SFR (Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource).  This designation is recognized by the National Association of Realtors.  So far I have had 100% of the short sales I listed approved.  I urge you to call me and find out how I can help you.
