Short sale needs bank approval

Search for homes

Buyers and sellers entering into a contract for a home that is subject to a short sale need to be aware that the transaction will require the seller's lender approval. The lender will have the right to approve:
  • Purchase price
  • Terms of the contract
  • HUD statement

In the short sale process the bank or lender must agree to take a payoff from the seller that is less than is owed. This process can take time. Both parties will need to exercise patience and the lender processes the request.

If you are facing a short sale situation it is best to use the services of a full time real estate professional to assist you with the selling of your home. Give me a call at or email me to discuss your specific situation.

Just curious, have you done a short sale offer with America's Servicing Company?
