We Specialize on Short Sales, Loan Modifications, distressed property short sales. A short sale is a sale of real estate in which the proceeds from selling the property will fall short of the balance of debts secured by liens against the property and the property owner cannot afford to repay the liens' full amounts and where the lien holders agree to release their lien on the real estate and accept less than the amount owed on the debt.[1] A Loan Modification is a permanent change in one or more of the terms of a Borrower's loan, allows the loan to be reinstated, and results in a payment the Borrower can afford. A Loan Modification is a permanent change in one or more of the terms of a Borrower's loan, allows the loan to be reinstated, and results in a payment the Borrower can afford. Foreclosures, short sales and REOs remind me of, "Lions and tigers and bears, oh, my!" There are similarities. Lions and tigers and bears are animals, but different from each other -- just as foreclosures and short sales and real-estate-owned (REOs) are distressed sales but different from each other. However, without specialized knowledge about how to handle the purchase of a foreclosure, short sale or REO, you could find yourself in dangerous territory. For example, while many short sales are foreclosures, not all foreclosures are short sales and not every short sale is in foreclosure. To further complicate matters, REOs are not short sales either, but some intended short sales can end up as an REO. A short sale in real estate is not always a pleasant transaction, but short sales have come a long way since 2006, so don't sell the concept short. There are many ways to lose a home but signing away ownership in a manner that destroys credit, embarrasses the family and strips an owner of dignity is one of the hardest. For home owners who can no longer afford to keep mortgage payments current, there are alternatives to bankruptcy or foreclosure proceedings. One of those options is called a "short sale".
