what is a short sale?
Selling your house for less than what is owned on your mortgage. The idea is simple, the process is complex and thats why you need an experienced pro to handle the transaction. With a short sale the lender will write off the difference between what you owe on your mortgage and what the house is sold for.

-
We will stand between you and your bank, protecting your right to a short sale. We pride ourselves in knowing how to complete short sales. Most agents are not skilled in negotiating and closing these types of sales. We have experience in this area of the market and we use that experience to be precise with our approach to your specific lender. And just as important, we are always careful to negotiate with your best interest in mind.
There are many different ways we can apply our short sale experience when completing these sales. Some banks require a more direct approach via online systems like Equator and some banks prefer phone conversations and faxing. Knowing the bank and knowing what they prefer up front, will save you a lot of critical time. -
