A Short sale is a pre-foreclosure arrangement with a lender, where the lender will allow an owner to sell a property for less than the amount of the current mortgage balance. The owner is unfortunately what lender’s call “upside down.” Are you feeling mortgage pressure?Through no fault of their own, many find themselves in a real estate distress situation. If you have no equity or owe more on your property than it's currently worth, then a short sale might be the best solution. We negotiate with your lender on your behalf to get approval for a short sale. We will also get the lender in most cases to pay all sales costs, title fees, escrow in addition to our sales commissions.
