SHORT SALES IN FLORIDA

SHORT SALES IN FLORIDA

Is your house worth less than you owe the bank? Do you want to resolve the debt with your lender and move on? If yes, a Short Sale may be the answer for you.

At the Law Offices of Jacqueline A. Salcines, P.A., we will work with your lender together with experienced realtors to help sell your home for less than you owe. In a short sale, most lenders accept the home sale price as the full repayment of your loan, even if your house sells at a loss. We work towards getting not only your deficiency waived. We also work to get you relocation assistance, currently $10,000.00 under HAFA.  This will allow you to have finality and move on.

Many lenders/banks prefer short sale over foreclosure. Some will even postpone foreclosure to give you time to sell. Many short sales end up costing the homeowner ZERO. The commission is paid from the sale.

If you decide that a short sale is your best solution, we work with realtors on all documentation, procedures and discussions with the bank. Attorney Jacqueline Salcines is experienced and has in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market and lender short sale practices.  We know the strategies that work and the processes that will lead to a cost-effective solution to your problem.
In a short sale, the lender accepts less than the full amount owed to satisfy the mortgage. This arrangement has several benefits.

• Homeowner/Seller: The homeowner completely avoids foreclosure and becomes free of the house note
• Buyer: A home buyer purchases the house at a desirable price
• Lender: The lender mitigates expenses that would be incurred if the home went into foreclosure
