 Did You Lose Your Income?

Are You Behind On Your Mortgage?

Is Your Home Worth Less Than You Owe?



A Short Sale May Be The Answer!

Many homeowners are at risk of losing their home now or in the future.  If you are one of the MILLIONS that face this dilemma, you are not alone. You may have already found that you owe more than your home is worth.  Home values are determined by actual sales.  If your neighborhood is riddled with foreclosures, your property value will likely suffer.  This creates a vicious cycle for the homeowner.  As your income suffers due to job losses, medical issues, inability to refinance and staggering food and gas prices, you may find it difficult or impossible to make your mortgage payment.  We are in tough economic times.  You may feel that you have failed and
are looking for a way out.


Foreclosure is NOT the ONLY Solution!

Don't shy away and just wait for your home to be foreclosed.  Banks don't want your home any more than you want to lose your home.  Banks are OVERWHELMED with foreclosures.  As foreclosures increase in the Denver Metro area, home values have taken a nose dive.  The media does not help as they continue to tell the public we are in a doom and gloom situation.  Not every neighborhood or homeowner fits neatly in the descriptions provided in daily news reports.



What Is A Short Sale?

A short sale is an agreement between the homeowner and the lender (also called the lien holder, mortgage holder, note holder or bank) to accept an offer for less than the total amount owed on the home.  The "deficiency" is the difference between the amount owed and what the bank collects at the sale of the home.



How Do I Qualify?

You Don't Need To Be Behind On Your Mortgage To Request A Short Sale

You Must Demonstrate That Your Home Cannot Be Sold For What You Owe

Demonstrate That You Have A Financial Hardship



SHORT SALE
vs.
FORECLOSURE


Don't be misled thinking that a short sale is the same as a foreclosure.  It's simply not.  In a foreclosure, the homeowner falls several months behind on their payments.  After unsuccessful attempts by the lender to resolve the issue, the homeowner is declared in default by a judge and the bank repossesses the home and subsequently sells it. 
In almost all cases the bank pursues the homeowner for the deficiency.

In most cases, this forces the homeowner to file for bankruptcy protection.


With a Short Sale, we negotiate with the lender to accept a payoff and consider the debt "settled".  




YOU NEED A SEASONED PROFESSIONAL
TO ORCHESTRATE A SUCCESSFUL SHORT SALE!

Real Estate Tips
Foreclosures >4. Foreclosure Alternatives

There are several alternatives for a homeowner to consider when foreclosure is looming. Before proceeding, a homeowner must first choose whether or not he or she wants to keep his or her home.

If a homeowner wants to keep their home:

  • Repayment plan: The homeowner establishes a payment schedule with the lender to pay the delinquent amount.
  • Special forbearance plan: The homeowner requests a temporary reduction or payment suspension that will be increased after a set specific period of to repay the delinquent amount.
  • Modifying the mortgage: The homeowner can refinance the debt and/or extend the term of the loan.
  • HUD partial claim: If the homeowner has a loan insured by the Federal Housing Administration the lender can get a one time payment from the FHA-Insurance Fund to get the mortgage payments up to date.
  • Refinance: The homeowner can negotiate a new loan with a different interest rate in order to make smaller payments.
  • All options listed are subject to approval of the lender.

If a homeowner does not want to keep their home:

  • Sell the house: Depending on the situation, the homeowner may be able to sell the house for more than is owed to the lender.
  • Assumption: The homeowner turns over possession of the house to another person who then assumes the responsibility of the payments.
  • Short sale: The lender and the homeowner come to an agreement to sell the home at a loss in order to get the homeowner out.
  • Pre-foreclosure sale: The homeowner can sell the home and use the proceeds to settle the mortgage debt, even if the proceeds are less than the amount owed.
  • Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure: The homeowner surrenders the property to the lender without further damage to his or her credit.
