See how to Short Sell my house below…

First off what is a short sale and can I really short sale my house? A short sale is a real estate transaction where the price that is paid for the home (the Sold price) is not enough to cover the mortgage and any other underlying debts, as well as the real estate closing costs, title fees, real estate commissions, etc. It is a means to avoid the stigma of foreclosure on the seller’s credit report.

Banks grant short sales for two reasons: the seller has a hardship, and the seller owes more on the mortgage than the home is worth.

The seller will need to prepare a financial package for submission to the short sale bank. Each bank has its own guidelines, but the basic procedure is similar from bank to bank.

A few examples of a hardship are:

  • Unemployment / reduced income
  • Divorce
  • Medical emergency
  • Job transfer out of town
  • Bankruptcy
  • Death

The seller’s short sale package will most likely consist of:

  • Letter of authorization, which lets your agent speak to the bank.
  • HUD-1 or preliminary net sheet
  • Completed financial statement
  • Seller’s hardship letter
  • 2 years of tax returns
  • 2 years of W-2s
  • Recent payroll stubs
  • Last 2 months of bank statements
  • Comparative market analysis or list of recent comparable sales

Writing the “Short Sale My House” Fair Offer and Submitting to the Bank

Before a buyer writes a short sale offer, a buyer needs a list of comparable sales. Los Angeles Fair Offer can assist you with obtaining these at no cost.

Banks are not in the business of giving away a home at rock-bottom pricing. The bank will want to receive somewhat close to market value based on the current conditions of the house.

The short sale price may have little bearing on market value and may, in fact, be priced below the comparable sales to encourage multiple offers.

Los Angeles Fair Offer has full time negotiators to facilitate your short sale.

After the seller accepts the offer, Los Angeles Fair Offer will send the following items to the bank:

  • Listing agreement
  • Executed purchase offer
  • Buyer’s pre-approval or proof of funds letter and copy of earnest money check
  • Seller’s short sale package.

  • The file is sent for review or to the investor.
  • The bank may then request that all parties sign an Arms-Length Affidavit.
