The Right Way to Sell or Buy Short-Sale Properties – March 30
Think you can’t sell your home or investment property because you owe more than it’s worth? Think you have to pay some expensive service up-front fees to negotiate with the bank? Think again. With patience and organization you can avoid foreclosure and get your bank to accept less than what is owed. Are you looking for a great deal on a home? If you have time and patience, purchasing a short sale may be your path to owning a new home or investment property. In this class we’ll explain what a short sale is. We’ll talk about the challenges for both sellers and buyers in the short sale process and the steps each party takes. We’ll also provide you resources that you can use when negotiating your short sale or when choosing to have a service negotiate for you. For buyers, we’ll cover the basics of financing, the offer process, and the steps you’ll need to take once your offer is accepted.
