Selling your Central Oregon home as a Short Sale
Why choose me to represent your Bend area short sale listing?
Short sales are complex. In the recent years I've dealt with many short sales on both the buyer and seller sides. Through education and experience, I've become knowledgeable of all aspects of a short sale. I have an understanding of how different banks work the short sales on their end. In a brief conversation, I can explain the process and the steps that you, the seller, are going to have to take to increase your chances of a short sale going through.
I recently joined forces with NW Negotiations, a short sale negotiation company. NW Negotiations is a proven short sale negotiating company. They've worked with all the big banks and know all of the process. They represent the seller in the negotiation process. NW Negotiations has tons of experience that no Realtor is going to be able to offer. Yet they are still available by phone or e-mail all of the time to their clients. And best of all, it doesn't cost you a dime to have their representation. They are paid through the real estate commission by the lenders.
Getting an offer on your Bend home
Having a partnership with NW Negotiations allows me to focus on what I do, get an offer on your home. Depending on your situation, we'll market the home to get an offer by a certain date. Typically this means lowering the price every couple of weeks until we receive an offer. The banks want to see that you've tried to sell the home for more than you end up getting, (but not always the case).
Once an offer is in place, NW Negotiations will start the short sale negotiations. The average response times on offers is usually 60-90 days, but can be much shorter or longer in certain situations. Then the banks usually give 30-40 days to close escrow after they've approved the sale.
Seller Beware
Sellers need to beware that a short sale is not a guarantee, and the end result could be foreclosure. The banks don't have to agree to a short sale. But we will do our best to evaluate your short sale situation before we list the property.
Please call me if you'd like to discuss the possibility of selling your Bend are home in a short sale.
