What is a “Short Sale”?

Short Sale

Short Sale Definition:

A Short Sale occurs when the proceeds of a real estate sale fall short of the balance owed on the property and; the underlying lienholder (Lender) agrees to accept a purchase offer from a Buyer that does not cover the existing mortgage including any costs of sale; and the Seller does not have sufficient assets to make up the deficiency.

Short Sales and Distressed Homes for sale make up a large percentage of the available homes for sale in County. Selling or Buying distressed real estate properties can be difficult for both Seller’s and Buyer’s in negotiating with the underlying lender (lien holder) in obtaining the desired decision from the lender, acceptance of the offer presented. Each lender has a set of rules for receiving and reviewing any offers that may be presented to them for Short Sale consideration. I have successfully helped to coordinate the processing of many Short Sales with several different lien holders.
