How Will A Short Sale affect Your Credit?

Over the years I’ve gotten this question more time than I can remember. “How will a short sale will affect my credit?”

A short sale can have a lot less of an effect on your credit score than a foreclosure. But, it must be done correctly.

Short sales can happen if a lender agrees to accept less than the amount owed against the home because there is not enough equity in it to pay all costs of the sale.

It’s important to note that not all lenders will agree to a short sale.

If your request is approved, your agent should ask your lender to report the short sale as “paid in full,” as part of the negotiation.

There have been reports that a short sale has about the same impact on your credit score as a foreclosure. However, from experience with our own clients, that’s never been the case.

Most of the time, sellers that have completed a short sale report that their credit score only dropped by 100 points or so, which can be easily fixed by any decent credit repair company.

The biggest advantage of a short sale, as opposed to a foreclosure, is that you will be able to qualify to buy another home within two years as opposed to five to seven years after a foreclosure.

Alternatives To Short Sale

Alternatives To Short Sale Video

 

If your lender doesn’t agree to a short sale on your house, there are several other options available to you.
One option would be a “deed in lieu “, which is basically a voluntary foreclosure and all that happens is that you sign the property back over to the bank without going through the whole legal process involved with a foreclosure. You should be aware however that a deed in lieu will show up on your credit as a foreclosure.

 

Another option available to you, if you’re interested in trying to keep your house is a loan modification.  A loan modification is when we try and get the terms of your loan adjusted so that you can afford to keep your home. We do this by either getting your payment reduced or reducing the principal balance or both.

 

Bankruptcy is also an option to avoid foreclosure. There are 2 different types of bankruptcies, a chapter 7 and chapter 13. In this case you would need to talk to a Bankruptcy attorney, and most of them will give you a free consultation on the initial visit.

What if you just let your house go to foreclosure?

 

I would highly recommend that you don’t take this approach because you are just giving up, and when you give up then you’re giving up all control of your situation to the bank and then they can do what they want at that point.

 

Also, don’t think that just because you let it go to foreclosure, that you will be free of that debt. Actually the opposite will probably happen and the bank will hit you with a deficiency judgment for the difference between what you owe and what the property sold for at the auction.

 

So please if you find yourself in this situation, consult with a licensed real estate professional figure out what your best option is and take action.

Who Decides The Value Of A Short Sale?

Who Decides The Value Of A Short Sale?

 https://orlandorealtyconsultants.com/short-sale-experts/
The valuation of a short sale, as determined by the short sale lender, is probably the single most important factor of the transaction.

The way it works is; after an offer gets submitted to the lender, the bank will then order a BPO.. AKA [Brokers price opinion] on the property.

 This person will usually be a local realtor that will go out to the property, and after doing their research on recent sales in the neighborhood, will give the lender their opinion of what the property is worth.

Whatever, the BPO comes in at will be the negotiating point between the lender and potential buyer.

Does it matter if the house needs repairs?

Yes, it does matter and that is something that they are supposed to take into consideration when giving their estimation of value.

After they do the BPO there are 3 things that can potentially happen that will dictate what follows.

1- The BPO comes in at a fair number that everyone is happy with and we proceed to closing.

2- The BPO comes in too low and the bank insists on another one being done.

3-The BPO comes in so ridiculously high that the buyer threatens to walk. Now when this happens, the agent must do whatever it takes to prove to the bank, that the BPO agent got it wrong.

We do this by preparing an in depth report of our own called a CMA which is also known as a comparative market analysis. This report contains even more information than the BPO agent provided them with.

What a CMA basically comes down to is a list of Active, Pending and Sold properties in the area. And the whole purpose behind this is to get the lender to order another BPO or if we’re lucky they’ll just use ours.

In the end, after all the dust settles, the lenders are the ones that decide how much they are willing to accept for the property.
