Short Sale
• A short sale can be negotiated if the homeowner has:
-Financial Hardship
-Monthly Shortfall on Financial Worksheet (or pending shortfall)
-Does not have significant assets to assist in paying down the mortgage
Definition
• A homeowner is 'short' when:
A borrower owes an amount on his property that, when combined with closing costs and commission, is higher than current market value.
• A short sale occurs when:
A negotiation is entered into with the homeowner's mortgage company or companies to accept less than the full balance of the loan at closing. A buyer closes on the property and the property is 'sold short'.
What a Short Sale is Not
• If you do not have a financial hardship then you will most likely not qualify for a short sale
• A short sale is only for those who meet all requirements
