How to Do a Short Sale

How to do a short sale, that is the question.  Homes that were bought at the peak of the market in 2005 or 2006 and mortgaged with a maximum loan to value ratio may be underwater, meaning that the FMV (fair market value) may be less than the current balance of the mortgage.  In order to sell the home, the price will have to be reduced to the FMV, and that will require the bank’s cooperation.  The bank will have to agree to accept a loss in order to facilitate the sale.  But most people and Realtors are wondering how to do a short sale.

Getting a short sale done is no task for the uninitiated.  I kid you not, short sales are difficult to get done with all the paperwork required and all the coordination required over a period of weeks or months.  Many short sales fail, and there are a dozen reasons short sales fail.  If you have a home for sale in Sequim or Port Angeles, and it needs to be a short sale, email me for assistance.  I’d be glad to help answer your questions on how to do a short sale.

    There seems to be a lot of people who want a short sale, but aren’t willing to put in the time or energy that goes along with it. It is important to remember that buying a house is never a simple task. The video is very helpful!
