Short Sale Transaction Processing
We will navigate all of the complexities of negotiating a short sale for you and your client.
Short sales are the very most common type of non-retail non-conventional real estate transaction. Basically these serve motivated sellers (people that have to sell, and don't just want to sell) with little or no equity (which are far more common than motivated sellers with equity).
Through short selling the payoff on a sellers mortgage(s) can be negotiated to an amount less that what is currently owed, so the home can be sold at a lower price rather than foreclosed on.
Through short selling, agents and investors can now make money on these transactions and help people facing foreclosure at the same time! Unfortunately, doing a short sale is like completing a very complex tax return - it takes extensive time and paperwork. Now you can OUTSOURCE the effort to us! WE do the work creating an income stream to you, while you focus on building your business and bringing in new business.
