Luxury Short Sale, Bank Owned & Foreclosure Experts
Why do a short sale? There are many reason ....
- Less Damaging to Credit Rating: A Foreclosure will severely damage ones credit rating for 7 years, but a Short Sale is less damaging and its effect does not last as long.
- Major Banks are Encouraging Short Sales over Foreclosure:Fannie Mae (FNMA) recently changed their underwriting policy so that a past home owner now has to wait 5 years after a Foreclosure before FNMA will underwrite a new loan. If the homeowner conducted a Short Sale the wait time is just 2 Years! Freddie Mac also offers participating Banks a $2,200 incentive to conduct a Short Sale versus Foreclosure.
- Probable Relief from HELOC 2nd Mortgage:When the 1st Mortgage Bank forecloses, the 2nd TD HELOC loan is not deleted from your debt. The 2nd TD HELOC Mortgage Bank may take legal means to collect their debt after the Foreclosure. With a Short Sale, we negotiate with both lenders to highly reduce or totally eliminate the HELOC loan debt.
- Dignified Solution:With a Short Sale, we sell your home just like your neighbors have done. It's a dignified resolution to a tough situation. On the other hand, after a Foreclosure, a Sheriff performs a lock out, the grass turns brown, and a Bank Sales Rep places 'Bank Foreclosure For Sale' signs in front of the property for your neighbors to see.
- Much Shorter Delay to Renewed Loan Worthiness:Credit Restoration firms are able to make major improvements to the credit ratings of short sale clients, within months. Generally there is extreme difficulty in making improvements to damages on credit reports resulting from Foreclosure.
- "Cash for Cooperation":Some of the banks are now offering home owners a Cash incentive in order to Cooperate with a short sale, versus allowing the property to be Foreclosed on by the Bank.

"I had my listing with another agent and it was not attracting any serious buyers. After listing my property with a SHORTsense agent, we had multiple offers within a week. My agent had the knowledge, attention to detail and perseverance to negotiate a very complex 7-figure short sale settlement with two different lenders. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a short sale." Eugene - Beverly Hills, CA
