Short Sale FAQs: What is a short sale? A short sale is the sale of a house for less money than what is owed on the mortgage. Is a Short Sale right for me? If your house is worth less than what you owe and you are faced with a hardship (loss of job, illness etc..) and can no longer continue to make payments a Short Sale may be your best option.  Other options are Deed-In-Lieu, Forbearance and Loan Modifications.  Contact us to see if you may qualify for a short sale or any of these other options. Can I do a short sale if I/we have two mortgages on the house? The short answer is yes.  We would work with both lenders to reach an agreement and acceptance on the short sale. Is there a government program to help with short sales? Yes,  and it is called HAFA.  This is the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternative Program-Short Sale.  Contact us for more information about the HAFA program. Would I have to pay the Real Estate commission if I short sale my house? No, the commission is paid by the lender not you. Will a Short Sale affect my credit? If you have missed one or more payments on your mortgage, credit card-s, your credit has already been affected.  However, a Short Sale is typically far less damaging to your credit than a Foreclosure. Who can I contact if i have more questions or to see if I can qualify for a short sale? you can contact us at info@wenrealty.com or 617-302-7787 for a free confidential interview and to explore your options and qualifications.
