New Jersey Short Sale Attorney

What Is a Short Sale?

A short sale occurs when a home owner sells his or her home for less than the principal balance that is owed to his or her lender. The lender then agrees to accept the amount, even though it is less than what is owed, and the home owner is able to avoid having a foreclosure on his or her financial record. Short sales are ideal for people who have been trying to sell their homes for a length of time with little success. Short sales are also ideal for people who want to avoid foreclosure without having to file for bankruptcy, which would appear on their credit report for many years. The best way people can get a solid understanding of short sales and individual qualifications is by working with an experienced New Jersey loan modification attorney.

In the event of a short sale, even though the proceeds from the real estate fall short of what the borrower owes, the lender will accept the amount because initiating the foreclosure process can be costly and time consuming. During a short sale, the borrower and the lender will have to work closely to negotiate terms so that both parties are satisfied with the outcome of the sale. Not every lender will agree to a short sale, especially if the lender feels that he/she can make more money by foreclosing the property. Additionally, not all borrowers or properties will qualify for a short sale, which means that people must understand eligibility requirements before pursuing this option.
