Posted on May 13, 2012 in Short Sale FAQs


Hi everyone, this is Mark Peek at Keller Williams Real Estate, your Davis short sale specialist. Today’s topic is without doubt one of the most regularly requested questions I get and that’s how long will it take before I’m able to purchase another home again after I complete a short sale? Well, the time frame for that may really differ widely. It might probably vary from a week after I close your short sale to a few years. The reason is is when you complete a short sale and you’re current and you have a really valid motive such as divorce or large lack of income and another is relocation. Particularly in case you’re relocating a reasonably long distance around 100 miles or so, then you definately would possibly qualify for a short sale and buy again with an FHA loan. This is something we might need to pre approve before we start the process simply to guantee that it is an possibility for you.

In any other case, you can truly receive a brand new VA mortgage; should you had an exception on that one within a year. You can also receive an FHA mortgage in around 3 years after a short sale. At the end of the day what you really want to look at is your monetary situation. How much is your home underwater? If it will take you 5 or 6 years to recuperate, then you definately may wish to think about a short sale as a manner of getting your self back on the financial track.

Helping Successful Short Sales with 2nd Liens Keep away from Foreclosure

Posted on May 3, 2012 in Short Sale FAQs


Hi, that is Mark Peek with Keller Williams Real Estate, your Davis short sale specialists. Today’s topic is secondary liens on a property, specifically lines of credit. Now in case you have a number of liens on a property and you are attempting a short sale, basically those multiple liens should agree with one another on who’s going to get what with the intention to settle out the short sale.

I will inform you that these are more complicated than just a one lien short sale with just one loan on the property. For my part, multiple lien short sales sometimes have the highest failure rate. Sometimes the reason why it doesn’t get accepted and closed is the second lien holders aren’t happy with the quantity they’re getting.

I obtained a $100,000 balance on a second lien on a short sale. They settled for as little as $3,000. They are going to release the lien, they’ve already accepted the short sale, and when we close, the homeowner just isn’t going to be liable for the difference. They are forgiving $ninety seven,000. It’s about the way you arrange the deal. It is about expectations, having the right package deal and follow-up and knowledge of the legal guidelines, the contacts at the lenders and understanding who the investor of that note is.

So when you’ve got any questions on your particular short sale, or you may have a second lien holder and also you’re concerned you might not get it through, give me a call.
