ABOUT SHORT SALES:
A "Short Sale" is a sale whereby the owner/seller of the home is unable to sell the home for enough to pay off his existing mortgage. These properties are priced below market and offer good value for our buyers.
However, while the seller/owner may be ready and willing to sell, they may not be able to sell immediately because his lender, who must agree to accept less than the amount owed for the property, must approve the sale. Lenders do not have established guidelines and move slowly. While Short Sales take patience on the part of agents, buyers and sellers, they offer good value for our buyers and we do include short sales listings in home tours.
Agents and Brokers in the Homefinders.com network are experienced in the management of Short Sale real estate transactions.
