A short sale is a real estate transaction where a homeowner is facing a hardship and gets permission from a bank to sell their property for less than they owe on the mortgage.
While it is generally beneficial for a bank to grant an approval on a short sale in order to avoid an expensive and time consuming foreclosure, the seller generally must prove a hardship.
Possible Hardships Include:
Divorce
Medical Emergency
Unemployment or Reduced Income
Job Transfer
Bankruptcy
Death
As you can imagine, the process of getting a hardship package accepted, avoiding deficiency judgements, finding a qualified buyer and satisfying the bank’s pre-closing conditions….. requires specialized skills and highly organized systems.
