Short Sale Information

We can help with your short sale. And our service is no cost to you!

What is a short sale?

A short sale is a process by which a lender agrees to receive a lower
amount of a debt in exchange for the sale of the property to a third party.
Homeowners that need to sell when the current loan amount exceeds
the market value of the property will normally need to do a short sale.

Get Started With Your Short Sale Here

We will negotiate with the bank for you to complete a "short sale".
This is when the bank agrees to allow you to sell your property for
less than what you owe.
 

There is no cost to you and we will never ask you for any money at anytime.

The bank will pay our compensation for getting the property sold.
At the same time we will look out for your interests and take the pain
and confusion out of doing a short sale. We provide, at no cost to you,
an ethical and professional solution. While it is possible to negotiate
on your own most often the bank will want your property listed with a
real estate professional.
 
Why do a short sale?
 
Banks really don't want to foreclose on a property under most
circumstances. They would rather discount the loan in a short sale.
This saves the bank a lot of wasted time and expense. A short
sale saves you the negative effects of having a forclosure.

Are there tax implications in doing a short sale?

Yes but you can usually get the IRS to waive them. The Mortgage Forgiveness
Debt Relief Act was introduced in Congress on September 25, 2007, and
became law on December 20, 2007. This act offered relief to homeowners who
would formerly owe taxes on forgiven mortgage debt after facing foreclosure.
The act extends such relief for three years, applying to debts discharged in calendar
year 2007 through 2009. (With the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008,
this tax relief was extended another three years, covering debts discharged
through calendar year 2012.)

will often grant a hardship waiver even on a property that is not a principle residence.
