You May Qualify for a Short Sale

A short sale is not for everyone.  One of the first things you need to know is, the homeowner does not get any money when selling by short sale.

Then why would anyone want to sell by short sale?  It is a better option than foreclosure.  It you have a reason, or hardship, you are behind on payments, or soon will be, you may qualify for a short sale.  Have you tried to sell your house for the amount owed, and selling expenses, but are unable?  Do you owe more to one or more mortgage companies, than the amount the house is now valued? 

All of these are factors that can qualify you for a short sale.  Unfortunately in this market, most houses that are listed qualify for a short sale.  Even if the reason you are selling is because you have been transferred, or required to move to get work, you may qualify for a short sale.  About 80% of real estate agents do not know how to do a short sale.  This cheats the homeowner who is facing foreclosure, because they are usually not told their options, and the home ends up being auctioned, (foreclosed on).

A foreclosure stays on your credit record for years.  A short sale is considered "paid as agreed", with a few late payments on the credit report.  Recently the FHA has set standards that a person with a forec
losure is unable to purchase a house for five years after.  Along with that, they have additional rules about the type of property.  In contrast, if a person has a short sale done for them, the time period is only two years before a house can be purchased.  Also, without any restrictions.

I have formed a company, KC Real Estate Solutions LLC just to service those homeowners who find that a short sale is the best option for them.  Whether the home is listed, or not listed, I can help.  If you choose to use the same agent that is already listing your home, I will work with them.  If you choose to use another agent, I have working relationships with some agents who are very experienced in short sales.

Don't fail to check out all options available to you in this stressful time.  Even if your property is already listed to be sold at auction, often the bank will postpone the auction date.  One more thing that most people do not know, is that you do not even have to be in the same state as the short sale negotiator to use the service.  There is no charge to you the homeowner for this service.  Also, you don't have to worry about getting the house in tip top shape, or cleaning for showings.  Do you want to try this option?  Go to: KC Real Estate Solutions.com to get more information and contact me through the contact form.
