Knowledgeable and Experienced Az Short Sale Realtors

We work with distressed home owners, those that can't sell their home in this market, to navigate the Short Sale Process and avoid Foreclosure. We also assist Buyers in finding Short Sale opportunities.

We know that there is a lot of confusion surrounding the real estate short sale process. Actually, the questions are coming from two groups -- the buyers who view it as a possible investment opportunity, and the sellers who view it as a way to avoid foreclosure by selling their home for less than they owe.

Both sides can enjoy great advantages. When used properly, a real estate short sale can help the homeowner in financial trouble avoid a home foreclosure. But the short sale can also be a good investment opportunity for the savvy investor who knows how the process works.

Why Sell My Home as a Short Sale

First of all a Short Sale will not work for everyone. It can be an intimidating and lengthily process. We work with you through each step including the paperwork and documentation that you will need to show a hardship to your lender.  We price and market your property to receive an offer acceptable to the bank as quickly as possible and then negotiate on your behalf with the lender to bring the sale to a successful conclusion.

If you qualify to do a short sale it allows you to stop the foreclosure process thus minimizing the impact on your credit score. You get a fresh start and may be able to buy again in as little as 2 years. Also, it is important to note that a short sale does not cost you any money. All costs are absorbed by the lender and you can remove this burden for free.

New Short Sale rules that are part of the Treasury's Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) Program and are designed to speed up lenders' decisions on short sales making it easier and quicker to sell your home as Short Sale.

Benefits to Seller

  • Avoid foreclosure
  • Less credit score impact
  • Able to purchase another home sooner than if went through a foreclosure or bankruptcy
  • Receive moving incentives for qualifying home owners

Why Buy a Short Sale

Short Sales are easier to purchase than they were a couple of years ago and the success rate is higher than ever.  You still need an experienced Realtor to help you navigate through the process in dealing with a 3rd party and in purchasing an "as-is" property.  The time that it takes to close on a Short Sale is still long, an average of 2 months for bank response on an offer, but for your wait and inconvenience you can get a very good deal!!
