Merry Christmas…

 I spent seemingly a lifetime (really only 12 hours) in a mall last Saturday.         

What a long day!

As I get a bit more mature I realize…

Christmas comes from the heart and not the mall.

Short Sale- What it is and What it isn’t.

Short Sale - What it isn’t.  First of all, let me begin by saying what a short sale is not…

1. A short sale is not a quick sale. 
2. A short sale is not a fire sale. 
3. A short sale is not a “take any offer” move out of desperation on the seller’s part.

Short Sale - What it is.  A short sale is a situation where a homeowner is selling a property for less than the mortgage monies owed.  In a short sale the seller can not derive any proceeds from the sale.
 
Short sale transactions are really no different than any other transaction  with the addition of a few wrinkles…

• the lender approval of the transaction,
• the unknown closing date and
• the property is usually sold “as is.”
