Thinking about a SHORT SALE?  

Be sure to read the information below before you sign on the dotted line …

• Because each individuals circumstances are unique, homeowners looking to Short Sale their home should have the right information before making the decision to move forward.  A Short Sale could have extreme negative legal and tax consequences; a consideration homeowners should not take lightly.  You should be  aware of potential shortfalls and should always consult with an attorney and tax professional before making any final decision.
• A Short Sale transaction is very different from a traditional Real Estate transaction and should not be treated the same.  Make sure the agent you confide in has a qualified balanced background in residential mortgage banking and real estate.  Listing a home, processing the Short Sale paperwork and successfully closing escrow is a tedious part of a Short Sale transaction, but making sure you are  protected from future tax liabilities and legal consequences is information you need before you list your home!  This is exactly why it is  important to choose an agent with Residential Mortgage Banking and Real Estate experience so you are not just another real estate commission.

The enhancements to the short sale program include a streamlined and shorter time period for short sale approval. The guidelines do not allow ANY contributions by the seller, will give the seller $3,000 at the close of escrow (amount seller receives has been updated since video was made) and if a first andor second lien holder are paid the servicer is not allowed to pursue the owner legally for the difference.
