Via Bill Gassett Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate (RE/MAX Executive Realty):
Understanding Short Sale Transactions | A Guide to Short Sale Facts & Myths
A short sale unfortunately has become a common buzz word in the Real Estate industry. For those that have been hearing the term "short sale" and don't quite understand what it means, a short sale is a legal lender approved solution designed to assist a home owners who is financially strapped to get out from under their mortgage debt.
A short sale is negotiated through the mortgage holder of an owners home where by the mortgage holder agrees to take less than what home owner owes on the property.
A quick example of a short sale would be if a home owner owes $400,000 on their current mortgage and their home is only worth $350,000. The lender in this example would agree to take a short fall of $50,000 at closing.
In some cases the mortgage holder may completely wipe out the debt and the home owner does not have to repay the 50,000. Many lenders may require a seller to sign a note and repay the debt over a certain amount of time. Typically the debt will be reduced and the owner may receive favorable repayment terms of the short fall.
There is quite a bit to know about short sales from both a buyer's and seller's perspective. I have been successfully been completing Massachusetts short sales over the last three years. In fact (knock on wood) I have never had a short sale that did not get approved! Successfully completing a short sale is about understanding the process.
Many consumers make extremely poor choices by working with Real Estate agents that don’t have a lick of experience with getting short sales approved. Picking a good short sale Realtor is critical to your success.
The following is a number of specific topics about short sale transactions that you would want to be aware of if you are planning to either buy or sell one of these types of distressed properties.
Stop making mortgage payments during a short sale? ~ Whether or not a home owner should continue to make mortgage payments is a common question that many sellers want to know when considering a short sale. The most common answer to this question is YES, however it really depends on the lender! Click the link to understand all the considerations.
Picking the right short sale Realtor ~ Picking a Realtor to work with in a short sale is very different than a traditional transaction. You want to work with an agent that has experience successfully closing this type of transaction. Remember as a seller you could potentially be facing a foreclosure. There are many mistakes that are made by agents handling short sales. Don't get caught with your pants down!
Questions to ask a short sale listing agent ~ If you are thinking about buying a short sale there are some specific questions you can ask the listing agent to determine the probability that the short sale will be approved or not. These short sale questions will also help determine if the Realtor handling the short sale knows what they are doing!
Acceptable hardships for a short sale ~ On many occasions when doing a short sale the lender is going to require some kind of hardship on the part of the seller. Short sale hardships however, have become less rigid recently and some lenders are becoming more concerned strictkly on whether the short sale would benefit them more than a foreclosure sale.
Short sale tax consequences ~ Understanding the tax consequences in a short sale is one of the most important considerations for a home seller. Whether the short sale home was a primary residence or an investment property can have different tax implications.
Getting short sale debt released ~ Getting the debt released on a short sale is obviously a very big deal. Many Realtors that are working with short sales don't have any knowledge of how to get the debt released. A seller needs to pay particular attention to this detail as you can expect to be hearing from a collection agency without it!
When to do a short sale home inspection ~ This topic is important to understand from both a buyer's and seller's perspective. A home inspection should be done before short sale approval and NOT after. Read the article to understand why it benefits both the buyer and seller to do so.
Strategic default vs short sale ~ There are many home owners who are deciding just to walk away from their homes. Fannie Mae has started to crack down on this practice and is now penalizing borrowers from getting a mortgage for up to seven years! A perfect alternative to a strategic default is a short sale.
These articles were published on my Massachusetts Real Estate blog where I talk about numerous topics that are important to consumers who may be thinking about buying or selling Real Estate.
I am successfully completing short sales through out the Metrowest Massachusetts area. So far, knock on wood, I have a 100% success rate for short sale approval! If you need to complete a Massachusetts short sale please feel free to get in touch.
If you are outside of the Metrowest Massachusetts area and need to do a short sale please give me a call or email and I would be happy to refer you to a Realtor in your location that handles short sales and knows what they are doing! I have referred short sales to other Realtors all around the country.

6 comments • Mark McHugh , Realtor, Rhode Island, ABR,SRES • July 28 2010 12:10PMWarwick to Boston in 40 minutes... the brand new train station is sure to help real estate values in Rhode Island.
The belief in Karma is "if you do good things...good things will happen", so the popular TV show character from My Name Is Earl, says. Well here in Warwick good things are happening and residents deserve the fruits of their deeds as well. Long have the people of Warwick ,in recent history worked for a symbiotic relationship with our state airport. Although there are many more discussions to be had, the new train station and intermodel will be a much needed expansion for Warwick and the rest of Rhode Island.
How will this project increase the property values of the surrounding cities and towns of Warwick, East Greenwich, and Cranston?
Here are the local figures from Trulia:
![](http://graphs.trulia.com/real_estate/Warwick-Rhode_Island/graph.png?ve"></A></P><P> </P><P>So, will the new station bring new buyers to the area? My opinion is yes. Metropolitan areas, like Boston, New York and Philadadelphia tend to attract buyers that follow employment. These areas on the East Coast, have a diverse effect on Real Estate. </P><P> </P><P>With the first train expected to roll through on September 11, 2010, according to Warwick Mayor, Scott Avedesian, the 17 year dream and perseverance will become a reality. </P><P> </P><P>The real deal is for those people that live in the metro Boston area currently. The current median home price in Boston is $349,000. according to <A href="http://www.housingtracker.net/asking-prices/boston-massachusetts/" mce_href="http://www.housingtracker.net/asking-prices/boston-massachusetts/">HousingTracker.net</A> . Rhode Island)
Providence Journal .Think of the quality of life that a young family who has employment opportunities in the Boston Metro area and with higher incomes. They now have the ability to commute on a direct train daily and enjoy a quiet suburban setting like Warwick Neck .
The most important step in getting acclimated to the new area is to talk with a local expert. A Realtor and Accredited Buyer's Representative like Mark McHugh to help you find the perfect home in Rhode Island . markm@slocumrealty.com 401-641-3842
