This is a Royal Oak Short Sale that I listed and closed. My seller needed to sell. He was stuck in a predator loan with a very high monthly payment. The balance of this loan was so high; I don't know how the borrowers could have qualified. The loan was a no doc, stated income "liar loan". The fees on the refinance were so high it was criminal.
The seller could not afford the loan in the first place and with the economic downturn he was certain to be foreclosed on. The Seller and Buyer were both thrilled by my services. Without a Short Sale, the seller would have been foreclosed on. This would result in years of debt and probable litigation.

This is a competitive real estate market. If you have to sell and can not, perhaps it is time to look at a Short Sale. The Mike Realtor Team has performed dozens of Short Sales for professionals who have lost their job, income has declined, medical problems, relocation, retirement, divorce, loss of spouse, unable to make ends meet, or other reasons not listed.
This is a Novi Short Sale that I listed and closed. My sellers needed to sell. They were both affected by the economic downturn and were unable to continue paying for their monthly mortgage payments. Their incomes were reduced to more then half of what they were making at the time the mortgage was originated. The Sellers were thrilled with my services. Without a Short Sale, they would have been foreclosed on. This would result in years of debt and probable litigation.
Some Homes have become an anchor that prevents the owner from progressing with the rest of their lives. A SHORT SALE can cut the rope which allows the seller to move on to a brighter future with out the baggage of the past.
