I Want To Avoid Foreclosure – How Can I Do A Short Sale

So many of us are experiencing hardships, and don’t know where to turn for assistance with real estate decisions. Whether we’ve lost a job, are falling behind or can’t make mortgage payments, have medical bills to pay, or simply don’t make enough money to cover all the bills – so many of us are feeling pressure. In many cases, homes are being foreclosed by lenders, when owners cannot make payments. But there are options to avoid a foreclosure, including a short sale.

When a lender accepts an offer to do a short sale on a home, it means that they are willing to accept less than the total amount due on the home’s mortgage. Not all lenders however will accept a short sale on a home, especially if it is more financially sensible to foreclose, but it can be an option in many cases.

If you believe you might be eligible for a short sale with your home, we have some steps you may want to take to find out your eligibility.

1. Contact a real estate agent who specializes in short sales. A realtor, such as the Tello Team, who has experience with short sales knows all of the steps first hand, and can make the process run very smoothly and efficiently.

2. Call your lender. Get some names – actual names, not titles. You’ll want a supervisor’s name – or someone who is authorized to make a decision.

3. Write a hardship letter to the lender. Explain your entire situation in full detail. Lenders are people too, and they understand that many people are going through some very rough times. Be honest with them – tell them about your job loss, medical situations, or any other reason that is preventing you from being able to make your payments.

Provide your bank statements and proof of income so that you can back up all of your reasons, as this will help them make their decisions quicker. If everything goes well, your lender will approve your short sale.

The Tello Team has experience with short sales, and are there to answer any questions you may have about the entire process. Contact us today at 954-237-0600 for more information on how we can assist you with all of your real estate needs!
