You may have heard about the government programs established to help those at risk of home foreclosure. Unfortunately, a majority of the real estate foreclosure and mortgage modification programs are not yet fully functional. In addition, most banks are allowed to participate on a voluntary basis. What may have looked like a promising answer may in reality come too late or not at all.
Contact us now to schedule an appointment about a short sale. After your free initial consultation, you'll know your rights and what the future holds.
What Is a Short Sale?
Basically, a real estate short sale is when your lender allows you to sell your property for less than you owe on your mortgage. The bank then typically forgives the remainder of your debt.
If you sell your property for less than you owe without the bank's permission, you will still owe the rest of that money in what is called a deficiency judgment.
Banks are willing to do this because it costs a lot of money to foreclose upon you. A short sale also saves you the bank's attorneys' fees and other foreclosure expenses, which would be added to your debt.
A home short sale allows you maximize the amount of money you'll be able to get for your house instead of having it sold at auction.
How Can We Help?
Our clients typically contact us when their mortgage goes into arrears, when they get an offer to sell their home, or when they get a notice of intent to foreclose from their bank. If you are at risk for foreclosure, attorney Warren can work with your bank to negotiate a short sale. Having a short sale on your credit report is far more positive than having a foreclosure or bankruptcy.
