The first thing to understand is that you are not alone, and there are dignified solutions to foreclosure. A short sale is one alternative becoming more and more common. Many homeowners pursue this route because the financial effects of short sales are much less damaging than foreclosure. With a short sale, lenders are often willing to accept less than the full amount due.
From future mortgage eligibility to your credit status, the results of a short sale leave you in a much better financial position than foreclosure. And now the U.S. Government is making short sales easier and quicker through the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program, or HAFA, which gives the homeowner up to $3,000 cash at closing for participating. Also, some national banks like Chase and Wells Fargo are also offering their own cash incentive programs to short sellers that can be as much as $10,000 to $35,000 at closing.
And your lender pays all your closing costs, back taxes, and agent commissions too; so a short sale is done at no out-of-pocket expense to the homeowner (your lender pays everything). It is also important to note that I charge no up-front fees of any kind and you can cancel my service agreement at anytime.
This isn't the easiest situation to deal with. However, confronting an unaffordable mortgage head-on with the right information can help homeowners regain financial stability.
We average selling between 5 to 8 short sale listings per month. I will negotiate with your lender to accept less than the amount owed and get them to forgive the difference and cover all the closing costs, back taxes, and agent commissions as well.
