Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Why would a homeowner do a short sale?

Homeowners pursue a short sale when they can no longer pay the mortgage, need to move from the property and want to avoid a foreclosure. With a short sale, the impact on the homeowners credit record might not be as bad as a foreclosure in some circumstances.

What is a reasonable offer on a short sale?

Its best to strike a balance between whats a good deal for you and whats reasonable for the lender. A price thats 5% to 10% below market value is typically a good number to put on the table. Venturing further down could be dangerous territory.

What is the downside of a short sale on a home?

The most docHub disadvantage of selling your home in a short sale is that you lose your home in the end. We understand this may be the only option for some, but for those that havent exhausted all other resources, there may be other options to delay or stop foreclosure without having to sell your home.
