Struggling with Your Mortgage?
You Have Options.
Avoid foreclosure and take control of your next step. A short sale may help you move forward with dignity and financial relief. You don't have to navigate this alone.
We Understand What You're Going Through
Financial hardship can happen to anyone. Whether due to job loss, medical emergencies, or changes in the economy, falling behind on your mortgage is incredibly stressful. You might feel overwhelmed or unsure of where to turn, but there are viable alternatives to foreclosure.
Behind on Payments
The letters and calls from the lender are piling up, and catching up feels impossible right now.
Upside Down on Mortgage
You owe more on your loan than what your home is currently worth in today's market.
Facing Foreclosure
You need a solution that protects your financial future and stops the foreclosure process.
What Exactly is a Short Sale?
A short sale happens when you sell your home for less than the remaining balance on your mortgage, and your lender agrees to accept that lesser amount as full payoff of the loan.
- It allows you to sell the home and settle the debt
- It requires your lender's approval to proceed
- It halts the foreclosure process once approved
- It is a highly dignified way to exit an upside-down mortgage
- It gives you a chance to rebuild your financial footing sooner
"It's a way to move forward with dignity and control, rather than letting the bank make the decisions for you."
How the Process Works
We manage the heavy lifting and communicate with the bank on your behalf.
Review Your Situation
We have a confidential consultation to understand your financial hardship and determine if a short sale is your best option.
Contact Your Lender
We submit a letter of authorization and a hardship package to your lender to initiate the short sale request.
List & Market the Home
We list your home on the market just like a traditional sale to attract the best possible buyers.
Submit Offers to Lender
When we receive a strong offer, we submit it directly to your lender for their review and approval.
Lender Approval
The lender reviews the offer and your hardship package. Once approved, we move toward closing.
Close & Move Forward
The home is sold, the debt is settled according to the lender's terms, and you are free to start fresh.
