How to do a Short Sale in Tampa, Clearwater, St Petersburg, Lakeland, Sarasota, Bradenton, Pasco, & Anywhere in Florida
The housing crisis has left countless homeowners “underwater” on their mortgage, meaning that they owe more than what their home is currently worth. While many of these families may be facing foreclosure, there are other potential options to get out from underneath such a burden, one of which is a short sale. A short sale is when the lender agrees to accept a sale price on the home, at fair market value, that is less than what is owed on the mortgage. However, getting a lender to agree to such a scenario and performing a short sale can be a complicated task.
