Although a short sale is far from hassle-free, but it’s a better alternative than foreclosure. And now you’ve got a little help to guide you on your way. Here are the facts about short sales and how to get started:

Are you facing foreclosure and tempted to stay in your home until the bank pulls it out from under you? Bad idea. Don’t do it. A much more graceful exit is a short sale, an agreement between you and your lender to sell your home for less than you owe. Although there’s no guarantee that your lender will let you avoid foreclosure with a short sale, new government regulations are aimed at encouraging lenders to do so.

Advantages of a short sale

• You can be a homeowner again more quickly with a short sale in your past than with a foreclosure. New Fannie Mae guidelines help you qualify for a new mortgage in as little as two years after a short sale, as opposed to three years or more after a foreclosure.
   

• You will have more time to make relocation plans and save money than with a deed in lieu. A short sale may take four to 12 months. A deed in lieu of foreclosure arrangement typically requires you vacate your home within 30 to 60 days of signing, according to real estate attorney Lance Churchill.
   

• You can receive up to $3,000 from your lender for moving expenses at the time of closing of a HAFA short sale or a HAFA deed in lieu of foreclosure. Relocation funds are part of the incentives of HAFA, but not necessarily for other short sale or deed in lieu programs of the lenders.
   

• You can help your community’s home values. Because the lender often receives a higher amount of the remaining loan balance than it would from the sale of a home after a foreclosure, short sales help support home values in the surrounding community.

How to proceed with a short sale

• For most individuals and families, their home is their largest financial asset, and deciding to sell it is a big decision that involves a lot of preparation and work. When you're ready to sell it's important to have an experienced real estate professional handle the details involved in the successful sale of a home for top dollar.
   

• As experienced professionals who have helped many California residents sell their homes, we know how to handle every aspect of the sales process - from strategically marketing and showcasing your home to making sure everything's signed, sealed and delivered by the closing date.
   

• Providing you with comprehensive, high-quality listing service is our top priority. So when you decide to sell your home, please contact us and we'll get started!

A short sale can be a time-consuming process, but if you can avoid foreclosure, it’s worth it in the long run.

I have been trying to sell my house for the past 7 months. After working with 2 Realtors with false promises and a lot of frustration, I decided to finally let my house go into foreclosure. This was not an easy decision for me to make. A friend of mine came to me one day and offered some advice his assistance. He introduced me to Sam; I was very pessimistic when I first met with Sam, due to my dealings with the previous Realtors. My friend and Sam convinced me to give them a chance. I signed my listing agreement 8/20/2009 with Sam. Sam kept in touch at least once a week, if not more, to give me updates as to the status of my house. I finally received an offer. The sale of my house was not considered to be your typical purchase. Sam handled the procedure without my involvement in a quick and professional time frame. I am pleased to say that finally, after all the heartache and frustration, my house sold 10/5/2009. I would use Sam again for any future purchase or sales and I would refer him to friends and family.
