Memphis TN Short Sale Specialists

What is a short sale?

A short sale in Memphis TN is a real estate transaction in which the homeowner seeks permission from their lender to sell their home below what is currently owed on the mortgage loan. If a lender should agree to a short sale, they also agree to accept a lower payout at the conclusion of the short sale.

What are the qualifications for a short sale?

The qualifications of a Memphis short sale usually consist of being in some kind of financial hardship. An example of typically accepted hardships would be:

• Loss of income or employment
• Excessive medical bills or illness
• Increased living expenses
• Property in need of renovations without means to make them
• Divorce or legal separation
• Job relocation or military transfer
• Incarceration
• Death of a family member

These are only a few hardships that may be accepted through your lender. In order to get a better idea of where your particular situation may stand, contact a Memphis short sale specialist today!

Do I get money back from a short sale?

When a homeowner opts for a short sale and depending on their lender, short sale incentives are typically given upon completion of the short sale. Each lender may vary on their incentives; however we have seen home owners get as much as $40,000 back to complete a short sale.

How much work will the short sale take?

For you as the homeowner you will be asked to gather financial documentation to prove your financial hardship, as well as write a short sale hardship letter to provide for your lender. This is called a short sale package. The documents within this package will be able to better help your lender make a decision on your short sale. You'll get it these required documents together, and we will handle all processing with your lender on your behalf and work to get your home sold!

Can I still do a short sale if I am going through a foreclosure?

Yes! Banks are typically more than happy to work through a short sale because it means they will not have to worry about the costly amount a foreclosure would bring. Although in a short sale the lender agrees to take a smaller payout, in the end they will most likely still end up bringing in more than they would have had to dish out had a foreclosure been the option.
