Short Sales
In today's challenging economic climate, short selling has emerged as a viable option for homeowners who are struggling to make mortgage payments or are facing foreclosure. As a specialist in short sales, Benjamin Cooper has developed a proven method of successfully negotiating and closing these types of transactions. He understands the emotional and financial stress that comes with the short sale process and is committed to guiding clients through this complex process.
The Short Sale Process
The short sale process typically begins with the homeowner obtaining an offer on their property. This offer is then submitted to the lien holder, along with a short sale package consisting of financial documentation and a letter detailing the current financial hardship of the homeowner. The lien holder will then review the package, obtain a third-party valuation of the property, and render a decision on whether the short sale is approved. This process can take several months, so it is essential for all parties involved to be prepared to wait out a decision.
Advantages of a Short Sale
The advantages of a short sale to the seller are numerous. The seller saves themselves from the stigma and impact of foreclosure and the long road to recovery that comes with a foreclosure on their credit report. The negative credit reporting that starts when mortgage payments are missed stops once a short sale is concluded. The seller typically has all or most of their closing costs paid by the lien holder at closing, so a short seller rarely has to pay money out of pocket towards the closing.
What to Expect
As a homeowner considering a short sale, it is essential to seek the advice of a tax professional prior to agreeing to a short sale. This is because there are certain repercussions to a seller who does a short sale, notably the potential of having to pay income tax via a 1099-C issued to the seller following a short sale.
