A Bank Short Sale -
Can It Help me NOW?

A bank short sale may be an option for you if you’re facing foreclosure and are seeking the possibility of another chance with a new home.  Your situation may look bleak, but if can stay strong and stick it out through the short sale process, you can at least look forward to the possibility of another shot at a beautiful home.

Don’t let the term scare you.  A bank short sale is simply a situation where the bank allows the owner to sell the home for an amount less than what is owed on the loan – hence the term “short sale.”  Of course, this is a mutual agreement between the borrower and the lender and must be agreed to by both sides.  It is of utmost importance that the homeowner get all agreements in writing and that there is a clear understanding of what will be expected throughout the short sale process.

Some of the things the homeowner needs to be aware of are throughout this process:

1.  Will I be responsible for any unpaid property taxes?
2.  How will this bank short sale affect my credit?
3.  Will I be “free and clear”  when the bank short sale is complete?
4.  Will I need to file bankcruptcy?

It is important to realize that homeowners facing a possible foreclosure are usually dealing with intense anxiety due to time constraints.  If you need to find help – do not procrastinate.  In these times, we’re facing a tight market in real estate, so the faster you get this process under way, the faster you can come to an agreement with your bank and get your house sold.  It is unfortunate that some of us come to a situation where we need to sell our home, but the fact is that if we’re in this situation, the faster we face reality, the better it will be for everyone involved.   When it comes down to it, a bank short sale is a great option for those looking to put themselves in the best position possible to buy another home in the future.

A bank short sale may save you from foreclosure by getting your home sold, settling your loan with your bank, and putting you in the best possible situation you could be in to purchase another home.  In the long run, avoiding foreclosure is what we’re trying to do here, as well as squaring of as many debts as we can – especially with our lender.

The short sale process can be quite cumbersome for both the homeowner and the lender.  Both are trying to look out for their own interests – often to the detriment of the other party.  As homeowners we need to realize from the outset that banks really don’t want a short sale – they want their money.  They do short sales in order to avoid the extra cost associated with foreclosure.

The short sale process starts with the homeowner filling out a hardship letter explaining how they ended up in so much trouble with their mortgage.  You’re going to need at least two months of bank statements, a hardship letter, personal financial statement(s), an authorization to release loan information, and a listing contract agreement.  You may need to supply more documents at the request of the lender.  Yes, these documents are quite personal in nature, but  remember that by supplying them we are attempting to prove that we truly “are” experiencing hardship, how we got there, and that we do in fact need to complete the short sale process.

It is a daunting process for everyone involved.  The complexities are many, the tranquilities few, and thanklessness aplenty – but if completed, the homeowner wins simply by avoiding foreclosure – and isn’t this the ultimate goal?  Avoiding foreclosure is the reason we go through the arduous short sale process in the first place.  We may lose a home – but we come out in the position of having dealt head-on with all of our financial troubles.  We end up in the best position possible to start over and get ready to purchase our new home.
