What is a Short Sale?

A short sale occurs when a lender agrees to take less than the amount owed to payoff a loan as an alternative to foreclosure. Lenders know that it will cost them a significant amount of money to take a property back. The Realtors® at Rock Realty can work with your bank to determine if they will be better off financially by selling the property now rather than taking the home through foreclosure and trying to sell it later. So, a short sale can actually be good for the bank. It can also be good for the home owner, as it is better to perform a short sale on their Madison property instead of letting it proceed to foreclosure. Some of our previous short sale seller clients have been able to purchase another home just two years later!

Upon completion, I can determine if a short sale with your bank is the most favorable option.
