Short Sale Attorney in New York

What is a Short Sale?

A short sale is the sale of real estate property in circumstances where the owner owes more to the lender(s) than the property is worth.  Should a homeowner become unable to meet their monthly mortgage payments, they can seek a short sale with their lender(s) as an alternative to having the property foreclosed on, or to filing for bankruptcy.  The short sale process can have many benefits for people in situations of financial hardship, such as:

• Less of an impact on the homeowner's credit score (foreclosure may result in 200 to 400 negative points).
• The seller(s) may be eligible for an FHA loan less than 2 years after short sale, as opposed to 3 years after foreclosure.
• The homeowner may be able to remain on the property until the completion of the short sale, a valuable option to save money when it's needed most.
• Any deficiency between the sale amount and the amount of the loan may be negotiated so the homeowner is not liable.
