Real estate sales

I have been working on several Short Sale listings over the past few months (a Short Sale is where Seller owes more than the market value of the property, with the bank accepting less than payment in full at close of escrow). Successful negotiation of a short sale requires complete documentation from the seller, including a documented hardship. If the short sale 'package' being submitted to the lender(s) is incomplete, the lenders may never respond to the short sale. It also requires ongoing communications with the banks. I continue to be encouraged at how much many lenders are willing to reduce the loan balances in a short sale in order to avoid a foreclosure. If you know someone who is having financial challenges and may be thinking about just letting the bank foreclose on the property, I would highly recommend that you have them contact me. Better yet, please forward me their contact information. A far better solution may be available to them.
