" FOR INVESTORS & REALTORS®"
What is a Short Sale? When a bank accepts a discounted or a lower payoff amount than the total amount owed on an existing mortgage. Did You Know? Texas is one of the leading states in the number of properties in foreclosure. In our opinion, there are two factors that increase the need for a licensee to be knowledgeable in how to represent a homeowner in the Short Sale process. First, a homeowner falls behind on their loan due to a hardship(divorce, medical debt, job lay-off, job relocation and escrow shortages). Second, little or no equity in the property due to: interest-only loans, adjustable rate mortgages and low period of ownership(the average foreclosed loan has been in place just 12-24 months).
From November to December of 2005 the amount of foreclosures reached 138,276 nationwide. What this means is that there is an amazing need for a Texas licensee who knows how to acquire and/or represent these properties using the short sale techniques. What We Know? In most cases banks will accept a short sale instead of foreclosing on the property. Believe it or not, lenders do not want to own real estate They are in the mortgage business, not the real estate business.! Recently, HUD has implemented new guidelines for lenders and is giving the foreclosing lender incentives to workout the loan or short the loan in lieu of foreclosing. If you are equipped with the proper tools and system, negotiating a short sale will come with ease. Finally, with the passing of Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (S.256) which was signed into law by President George W. Bush on April 20, 2005, this has made it more difficult for consumers to file bankruptcy. The provisions of this law will dramatically effect the number of individuals that need the assistance of a Short Sales representative.
