Short Sale Protocol: A dignified exit and faster recovery—without foreclosure.
A foreclosure stays on your record for 7 years. A Short Sale often allows you to buy another home in as little as 2 years.
My primary goal is to ensure the bank agrees to "Paid in Full" status, meaning they cannot pursue you for the remaining balance.
You stay in the home during the process, giving you time to plan your next move without the sheriff at your door.
I help you craft the "Hardship Letter," framing your situation (job loss, medical, divorce) in the specific language bank loss mitigators require.
Banks will reject incomplete files. I audit your tax returns, pay stubs, and bank statements before submission to ensure a one-shot approval.
I meet the bank's appraiser to ensure they understand the local market conditions and necessary repairs, justifying the lower sales price.
If you have a second mortgage or HOA liens, I negotiate with those junior lienholders to accept pennies on the dollar to release the title.
I manage the timeline between approval and closing, which is often tight, ensuring the deal doesn't fall apart at the finish line.
We do not "market distress." Case details and documents are shared 1-to-1 only, with do-not-share instructions. No mass blasting, no public posting, no loose forwarding.
If the property is occupied or access is sensitive, showings are appointment-only and logged. Documents are released in tiers (need-to-know) and we track who received what, when, and why.
Stop the clock. Let's negotiate an exit strategy with the bank.
