What Is a Short Sale?

“Wellington Florida short sale” is a term buyers and sellers see often, but it can still be confusing. A short sale happens when a seller owes more on their home than it will sell for in today’s market and asks their lienholder(s) to accept less than the full amount owed.

Unlike a bank-owned home, the seller still owns the property. A buyer negotiates the contract directly with the seller. Once both parties agree, the seller submits the executed contract and a short sale package to the lienholder(s) for approval. The short sale becomes a seller contingency, which means the price, terms, and conditions are all subject to third-party lienholder approval.

Every lienholder is different. Some approve a short sale with or without conditions, while others may not approve it at all. The approval or denial process can take several months or longer, especially when multiple lienholders are involved, so flexibility and patience are important for both buyers and sellers.

That is why it is important for sellers to work with an experienced Wellington short sale agent with strong communication and negotiation skills. The listing agent can sometimes be the difference between receiving an approval or a denial.

What is a Short Sale?

“Wellington Florida Short Sale” is a term that has been commonplace for years, but it's still not uncommon for people to understand and know what a short sale is. So let's discuss!

A short sale is when a seller owes more on their home than it will sell for in today’s real estate market, so they ask their lienholder(s) to accept less than what they owe them.

Unlike a bank-owned home a short sale seller still owns the property, so a buyer will present and negotiate an offer with the seller, not the lienholder(s). After the seller and buyer reach an agreement the seller will then submit the executed contract along with their short sale package for approval by the lienholder(s). The short sale itself is a seller contingency, this means the contract price, terms and conditions are subject to all third-party lienholder(s) approval.

Both buyer and seller need to keep in mind just because they came to terms doesn't mean the seller's lienholder(s) are going to accept those terms. All lienholder(s) are different; some will approve a short sale with or without conditions while some may not agree to a short sale at all. If a short sale approval has conditions, the seller must agree to those conditions. Sometimes they may require the seller to contribute $5,000 towards closing. If the seller doesn't have the funds, this obviously won't be an option. Therefore, the seller wouldn't be able to agree to the short sale approval terms.

The short sale approval or denial process can take several months, even over a year. Typically the more lienholder(s) the longer the process will take. So if you plan on buying a short sale you'll need to be flexible and willing to wait. All parties involved need to have patience and the seller needs to make sure to hire an experienced Wellington short sale agent who has excellent communication and negotiation skills. Sometimes the listing agent can mean the difference between receiving an approval or denial letter.
