Redding Short Sale Process – How to Short Sale

What is a Redding Short Sale?

A quick sale in real estate, also commonly called a short sale, happens when a lender is willing to accept a lower pay off on a loan than what is currently owed due to the borrowers inability to continue making payments.

What does it take to qualify for a Redding Short sale?

9bf3d6b2 b25d fdf1 a00257d66feec21c Redding Short Sale Process   How to Short SaleWhile lenders seem to be easier to work with lately regarding qualifications, there are usually three borrower qualifications that most lenders require for a Redding short sale.

  1. Negative Equity – The proceeds from the sale of the property, after all closing costs
    are paid, are less than the amount currently owed on the property,
  2. Financial Insolvency – Financial insolvency means that the borrower has no other assets that could cover the deficiency (the difference between what is owed on the property and the proceeds from the sale)
  3. Financial hardship – Financial hardships that are acceptable do vary some from lender to lender, but the most common ones are; divorce or legal separation, loss of employment or reduction in income, job transfer or relocation, incarceration, medical emergencies or major medical expenses, death of a family member, vacant rental properties, damaged property, just to name a few. Most lenders believe that a short sale is not for home owners who simply want to sell, but for those who have to sell.

Is it possible for me to get money back for completing a short sale?

Until recent times, it was almost unheard of for a home owner to get money back in a short sale. Things have changed for the better. The HAFA program, backed by the US Government, allows homeowners $3,000 to use towards relocation expenses. In addition, some lenders will offer generous incentives of their own in addition to money offered through the HAFA program. We have seen home owners get as much as $35,000 back to complete a short sale.

Who will pay the Redding short sale Realtors® commission?

In a short sale it is customary for a lender to cover all fees associated with the sale of the property, including your Redding short sale specialist as well. In almost all cases, a home owner in hardship will pay no out of pocket expense to complete a short sale transaction.

A short sale in a real estate transaction is when the mortgage lender on the property agrees to accept the mortgage payoff for less the the amount owed on the home.

Banks and mortgage lenders are becoming easier to work with on short sales vs. the other alternative which maybe foreclosure.

Short Sales are Not the Same as Foreclosures-Redding CA

Short Sales are Not the Same as Foreclosures -Redding CA

The Redding Short Sale Team writes a great deal about real estate short sales in Redding, and we discuss avoiding foreclosures and their effect on homeowners and our Shasta County Properties.

Short sales are not the same thing as a foreclosure, but for some people looking into moving and selling their opportunities in Redding CA, short sales might be your best bet.

Short sale real estate transactions offer homeowners who are underwater on their property an opportunity to release themselves of their mortgage debt without going into foreclosure.

When a foreclosure occurs, the bank or lien holders take over full ownership of the home.

What happens during a short sale, the homeowners agree to put the house up for sale, but the purchase price is less than what is still owed on the mortgage.

In turn the bank agrees to accept less then the full amount owed on the mortgage.
A short sale is when a lender is being paid off “short”, less than the amount owed.

A short sale takes several months to complete. The sale of the property is not solely left to the discretion of the property owner, as is the case during a traditional property sale in Redding CA.

A offer to buy the real estate must pass through the bank or bank(s) for approval before going into a traditional escrow.

For this reason, short sales can sometimes take months to come to fruition, a process that will require patience by the homeowner, potential buyer and agents involved.

The best advice homeowners need when approaching a short sale is to not go the process alone.

Having the expertise of a property short sales agent at your side can make the entire process as easy as possible in this difficult situation.

The Redding Short Sale Team has experience dealing with banks and property owners, ask us for free advise.
