What if my Lender won’t agree to a short sale? | Video Transcript
Speaker: “This is John Conde with Orlando Realty Consultants… I’m 44 years old and I’ve never had a cavity, However, today we’re here to talk about other alternatives to short sales.”
Speaker: “First question…The gentlemen with the dark glasses”
Audience: “What if my lender doesn’t agree to a short sale?”
Speaker: “OK… so if your lender doesn’t agree to a short sale there are other options available to you. So why don’t we just go over a few of those options now? yes?…yes?
1-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.
Speaker: Next question…Lady with the sandwich
Audience: “What about bankruptcy?”
Yes absolutely, bankruptcy is also an option to avoid foreclosure… There are 2 different types of bankruptcies.., chapter 7 and chapter 13… Now I’m not an attorney and therefore I’m not qualified to educate you on bankruptcy… However, we do have attorneys on staff that will be happy to sit with you for a free consultation, just call our office, OK
OK, now another option available to you, if you’re interested in trying to keep your house is a loan modification… Basically, it’s when we try and get the terms of your loan adjusted so that you can afford to keep your home……. We try to do this by either getting your payment reduced or reducing the principal balance or both.
There’s a lot involved with doing a loan mod and if you’re interested in seeing if you qualify, just give us a call and someone from our staff will be happy to help you
Speaker: Next Question?… the young lady with the Pomeranian
Audience: What happens if I just let my house go to foreclosure?
Speaker: OK what if you just let it go to foreclosure… Well, 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 and the bank can do what they want at that point.
And don’t think that just because you let it go to foreclosure, you will be free of that debt. Actually, the opposite will probably happen and the bank will slap 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… Thank YOU… I’m sorry I have to go… no more questions at this time.
