Information on Short Sales

A short sale is when a mortgage company or lender allows a home to be sold for less than the value of the mortgage. Generally, it is believed by homeowners in this situation that a short sale will discharge them of responsibility for the mortgage debt, including the portion that the short sale does not cover. However, if you do not have an experienced attorney helping you negotiate your short sale, you may come to find that you are still required to pay off the remainder of the mortgage after selling your home. If you are considering a short sale of your home, our firm can help you with your short sale negotiations and make sure you are getting the best deal possible.
