What is a short sale?

• Example:• Your owe $120000 on

your home but the market value is only $100000.

• The home is listed at $100000 and once you have a contract.

• You ask your mortgage company to accept $100000 for the home and take a $20000 loss on the home.

This is a very basic explanation

• Of course there is a lot more involved buy I would as your REALTOR take care of all the paperwork

Keep your Payment up to Date

• If you are up to date than you will be allowed to get another mortgage immediately and it will not effect your credit report.

• If you are behind in your mortgage than it will stop you from buying another home for 3 years

Your Home must be listed on the MLS

• Your Mortgage company will require your home be listed with an agent on the MLS system before you can proceed with a short Sale Application

The Mortgage Company will require to following

• 1) Short Sale Addendum• 2) Listing agreement• 3) HUD or Preliminary

Settlement statement• 4) TREC executed

contract• GOOD NEWS is your

Realtor will take care of all these documents for you.
