When a Short Sale Is Right for You
A short sale is a procedure in which you sell your property after negotiating with your mortgage or home equity lender for it to accept the amount of the sale as a full satisfaction of the outstanding mortgage and release you from the remainder of your debt.
Negotiating and conducting a short sale is a complicated process, but our attorneys have the experience and skill to offer you peace of mind. If you have been getting the runaround from your bank when you have tried working with them, we can help. Contact us for assistance with the short sale process.
Helping You Negotiate With Your Lender
If you are interested in a short sale, our attorneys will meet with you to review your financial information and gain an understanding of why you want to sell the property. They will then negotiate with the bank, skillfully explaining your hardship and why the bank should work with you toward a mutually beneficial solution.
The bank may offer options other than a standard short sale, such as a deed in lieu of foreclosure (in which the bank takes ownership of the deed and releases you from your mortgage) or restructuring of your loan. We will explain all your options to you and give you solid legal advice so you can decide which solution is right for you.
Making Sure the Sale Goes Smoothly
Once your lender has agreed to a short sale, the process of selling the property requires careful attention. If your sale documents are improperly drafted, the sale could be canceled or you could run into legal trouble with the buyer or the bank.
