SHORT SALES IN HOMES FOR SALE WINSTON SALEM TRIAD NC
I'm asked at least once or twice a week from buyer customers or clients: "What exactly is a Short Sale Foreclosure?" I usually start answering by telling them what it isn't. It isn't when a property is already in Foreclosure. And it isn't a term used to describe a "Quick Sale" of a foreclosed property.
A "Short Sale" can be defined as an "arrangement" between the homeowner and the bank that lent them the funds to purchase their home, to accept a buyer's offer of a lesser amount than what is now owed to pay off the mortgage. The difference between the amount owed and what the bank will collect at the "short sale" is referred to as "the deficiency".
When I'm speaking with new buyers who have expressed an interest in foreclosures and short sales, I ask these four questions in one fashion or another:
Not all buyers are ideal candidates for short sales. Some examples are:

At the time when an offer is being put together, these issues must be given full attention:
If this buyers are considered a good candidate, it's a good idea to prepare a rider to the contract that sets forth the amount of time the buyer is willing to wait for the lender to review and process the short-sale package. It's a good idea to keep in mind, however, if the lender believes the transaction doen't have a good chance of closing, a short sale may not be approved.
When backup offers are considered on these foreclosure homes for sale in Winston Salem, listing agents generally will accept backup offers. However, some listing agents are argreeing not to take backups if the buyer is strong and the contract price and terms are met.
The approval of the Lender should be treated like any other contingency, like a home inspection for example. It is still the Seller's choice whether or not to submit the offer to the lender. Both buyer and seller should sign the contract (not the lender) so that is it a binding contract between them.
