Submit a lead.
Submit a lead by entering your client’s information as well as yours. Let your client know we will be contacting them, so we have a better chance of connecting with them as soon as possible.

2
Create a short sale package.
If we determine their property is eligible for a short sale, we’ll pull together the necessary documents to send to your client’s lender.
3
Negotiate and list the property.
After we negotiate and verify that the lender has everything they need, you can list their property at the approved price.
4
Review offers and submit.
The lender will approve or deny the offer submitted. If denied, we will find out why and either dispute the value or re-list the property to get a higher offer.
5
Get approval to close.
If approved, we’ll obtain written confirmation from the lender to close, as well as settlements on any additional liens or fees. We’ll check the final boxes and then send in the required documents to get paid.
We team up with motivated real estate agents across the country to be our boots on the ground when we have listings and referrals in their market. We are always looking for agents we can count on to help us get these deals to the closing table, so join us on Facebook if you think you’d be a good fit!
Most homeowners qualify for relocation assistance from the bank. The amount we’re able to negotiate for ranges from $1,500 to $10,000.
It depends on many things, including late or missed payments. A short sale may appear on the homeowner’s credit report as “ settlement or pre-foreclosure redemption,” “paid in full for less than full balance” or other terms.
*Missing mortgage payments will definitely affect the homeowner’s credit rating.A short sale where the lender forgives (cancels) the debt is a relief of debt. The IRS may treat this as income for tax purposes. A limited exemption allows homeowners to pay no taxes on certain types of debt forgiveness especially if it's your primary residence. The government has been extending the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act since 2007 and we do believe they will keep extending it or create a permanent law for it soon.
Every short sale is different, because every homeowner’s situation is different. Our average time frame is 3-4 months.
