Owing more than your home is worth isn’t something to feel guilty about, and a short sale, with the right specialist, can make it far simpler than you’d expect.
Doom-and-gloom headlines insist the real estate market is crashing. This isn't one of those articles. Still, real people are under real financial strain right now, and they deserve a clear answer about their options.
If you owe more on your mortgage than Zillow, Realtor.com, or Homes.com says your home is worth, we can help. That situation can lead to a short sale, selling your home for less than what you owe on your mortgage.
Short sales are back in the conversation. For years, they were rare. Short sales largely faded after the early 2010s, and in our 11 years in this business, we haven't handled many. That has changed quickly. In the last week alone, we've had seven different conversations with sellers who are either right at the edge or already owe more than their home is currently worth.
If that describes your situation, don't feel guilty or embarrassed. We want to help you.
Start with what your home is worth. Before anyone talks about a short sale, we take a close look at your home's current market value. Your home may well be worth more than those online estimates suggest, and you might not need a short sale at all.
"Please don't be embarrassed. We want to help you, and that's what we're here for."
That consultation is free, and we're happy to walk you through the process over the phone or come out and meet you in person.
A specialist who has seen it all. If a short sale does turn out to be the right route, we have you covered. We have someone on our team with more than 25 years of experience, and short sales are all she does. She was negotiating them back in 2008; she's done it ever since, and she's handled thousands.
That experience matters. If your bank has rejected a short sale in the past, she may be able to get it through.
Faster than most people expect. A short sale doesn't have to take six months. She typically gets them processed in 60 to 90 days, which makes a real difference if you're going through a divorce, relocating for work, or carrying a mortgage that's simply crushing you.
If you're ready for a change, reach out to us today and don't hesitate. Call us at 855-935-MORE (855-935-6673), email us at [email protected], or visit made4morerealty.com. We want to help you, and that's exactly what we're here for.
