Denver Short Sale Process Direct

In the wake of the mortgage meltdown, many Americans are facing the real threats of foreclosure brings. Losing ownership of one’s home not only destroys your credit but also degrades and embarrasses the whole family. However, they have discovered ‘short sales’ in real estate.

A short sale is a sale of real estate in which the net proceeds from selling the property will fall short of the debts secured by liens against the property. In this case, if all lien holders agree to accept less than the amount owed on the debt, a sale of the property can be accomplished.

A “Short Sale” can only be accomplished when a Lien Holder is willing to accept less than what is owed on the debt while also agreeing to accept a sales price that is at or below the appraised value for the property.

Short sale transactions are mostly preferred than foreclosures because it doesn’t only benefit the homeowners and lenders but also the agents. One of the main reasons for this is that agents get paid by the lenders to do a short sale.

The benefits to the homeowners of having a short sale outweigh that of undergoing a foreclosure. One is you can retain some dignity in knowing that you sold your home as opposed to having the back take it away from you. You won’t suffer the social stigma of the “F” word or foreclosure.

To be sure they should ask for legal advice from experts and ask accountants of some tax ramifications in doing short sale process.
