Is a real estate short sale an option for me?

Hi everyone – I am going through a lot nowadays. I’m single and expecting a baby in Jan. I am late on my house payments and don’t want a foreclosure – I am very scared. I spoke to my Realtor and she offered to do a short sale in which instead of losing my house I would find a buyer for my house for less than I owe, which is about about $405,000, on it and since homes are down right now I can’t even sell it – I will lose money if I do. Is anyone familiar with this please help – I need advise. Thank you.

When to Do a Short Sale

Some people think that you have to be late in your mortgage payments to start a real estate short sale process. This is not true. In the video below, real estate agents in Southern California talk about short sale and when you can do a short sale. It is never too early to do a short sale if you think that you need it. You do not have to wait until you are behind on your mortgage payments to start the process on your property. In fact, it is best if you do not.

There are a lot of myths and misunderstandings about short sale. Many real estate agents know very well how to do a short sale. They work with individuals who are current in their mortgage payments and also people who are late and have even defaulted on their loans.  If you see yourself having difficulties in the future in paying your mortgage payments, then it is a good time to start a real estate short sale.

For a successful short sale, you need to find yourself a great real estate agent. You need to find someone who has closed at least 3 short sale cases with their own listings, advised real estate agents in the video. You need to let go of your pride, denial and attachment to your home. You need to move on and get yourself ready for a short sale and to sell your home.
