In this weeks Success Story, we are in Winder, Georgia. This was another referral case in that Bill knew the homeowners because they were members of his Church. The homeowners had recently went through a divorce and neither party could afford the home on their own.
The home was kept in immaculate condition and was easy to sale, we had it on the market only about 2 weeks. In this case we ended up having multiple offers on the home. In a short sale the contract for purchase is like any other transaction, it’s between the buyer and seller (homeowner seeking to short sale). There is a lot of misconception that the transaction is between the buyer and the bank, but the only thing the bank does is approve the short sale. In this case, 2ShortSaleGuys asked all parties wishing to purchase to make their highest and best offer so that we are getting the most for the home that we can possible get. Once that is done, that’s when our extremely talented Facilitation Assistant gets to work and makes the magic happen.
The home was on the market less than 2 weeks and we had short sale approval on a first an second mortgage in just under 3 weeks. The buyers were very well qualified and their lender was able to close the transaction in 2 weeks.
The gratification for us is that the homeowner said at closing “everyone told me that short selling our home was going to be a nightmare, 2shortsaleguys knew all the documentation that we were going to need and took that before we even listed the property and made the transaction just as easy as a regular selling of a home”.
Please check out our website and call us with any questions you may have. One stat that absolutely gets to us is that according to the National Association of Realtors, over 70% of foreclosure that occur we’re never listed for sale by the home owners. If you know someone that is behind on their mortgage, please let us know or get them to call us so that we can give them options.
