Your lender does not want to foreclose on you. They are not in the real estate business, they are in the lending business. They would prefer that we sell it (through a short sale) to get it off their books (even at a loss to the lender) than continue having that money tied up without producing revenue.
What is a short sale?
In simple terms…you owe more money on the property than it’s worth. A short sale occurs when a property is sold and the lender agrees to accept a discounted payoff. This means that the lender will release the lien that is secured to the property upon receipt of less money than is actually owed.
Example of a short sale: You have a mortgage of $300,000 but the home is only worth $250,000. You are “short” $50,000 (not including fees, title/escrow, commissions, etc.) The $50,000, plus fees and commissions are paid/absorbed by the lender! Call us today to see if a short sale is right for you. We are San Diego short sale specialists.
Why will the lender pay the fees and commissions?
The lender has not been receiving monthly payments on the $300,000 it has lent you. It will take a few more months to foreclose on your home. That means a few more months of the lender not receiving monthly payments and incurring other holding costs. When they do finally take over your property, they will have to pay the realtors a commission when they sell it. We are not only helping you avoid foreclosure with the short sale, but also helping the lender by selling the property several months before they typically would.
Credit Scores
A short sale is considerably less detrimental to your FICO scores than that of a foreclosure. A short sale on your credit report will most likely show that the debt has been settled. A foreclosure will stay on your report for seven years and would make your next home purchase much more difficult.
