We are Short Sale Experts!


What is a short sale?  A short sale is an "arrangement" between the current owner of a home and the bank that lent them the money to buy their home to accept an offer for less than the total amount owed to pay off the home.  The "deficiency" is the difference between the amount owed and what the bank collects at the short sale.

Although, the "arrangement" can take many different forms, there is no other definition of a short sale.  I say this because many realtors and some investors simply throw the term around as if it meant "a sale under market value."  No.  A bank owned (foreclosed) house is not a short sale.  A seller deciding to lower their price and take less profit is not a short sale.  An old lady that owns her home free and clear, selling a $150k home for $75 k, IS NOT A SHORT SALE.  For it to be a Short sale, someone must be getting "shorted."  Either the seller, or the bank.

Most short sales arise when a seller owns more on their house than they can sell if for (upside down).  The owner of the home then attempts to make an arragnement with their lender to sell the house for less than is owned.

Whether looking ofr a short sale or looking to short sell, we are the people you need.





Real Estate Tips
Selling Your Home >Playing It Safe

Conduct a thorough check for any safety hazards when you are getting your house ready to put on the market. You may be accustomed to the worn tread on the stairs, toys in the hallway, or closets that deposit their contents at your feet when the door is opened, but strangers won't be as intuitive as you are. They will be vulnerable to those little "hazards" as they walk through your home, turning on the faucets, opening closet doors, and going up and down the stairs.

The stairs are a good place to begin your safety check. Could someone tall accidentally bang their head on a beam, pipe or the ceiling as they go up or down? Is the carpeting on the stairs securely fastened? An area rug should have a non-slip mat underneath.

Safety is important because someone who is injured in your home could sue you for damages. This doesn't happen often, but if it does, it can be extremely unpleasant. "Better safe than sorry" applies to homes as well--especially when they are for sale and open to visits from potential buyers.
