What Is A Short Sale?

A Short Sale occurs when a lender agrees to discharge a mortgage for an amount less than the lender is contractually due. Short Sales are common when property values have declined, foreclosure rates have increased, and borrowers are experiencing financial problems. With these market conditions, it is common for sellers to have to bring money to the closing table to sell. Therefore, many sellers are unable to close without the lender agreeing to a short sale.

Attorney Brian Glover has successfully helped sellers avoid foreclosure and sell their homes by negotiating short-sale payoff agreements with their lenders. Attorney Glover is experienced in drafting short sale proposals and negotiating with lenders. In short sale transactions, the listing real estate agent gets paid their standard commission, the seller’s closing costs get paid, and sellers, generally, are not required to bring any money to the closing table.

If you are facing foreclosure or would like to sell your home even though it is worth less than you owe, call Attorney Glover at (508) 990-4555 to schedule a free consultation.
