Process of a short sale
June 17th, 2011 . by adminWhen the bank agrees to sell the property for less than owed on the mortgage is considered a short sale. The bank who holds the note and or mortgage determines based on an appraiser what the market value is in the area the home is selling for and comes up with a price they would sell the home for. Fort Myers short sales have been very popular for investors and new home owners. These prices are still negotiable but keep in mind there are other buyers that are making offers on the home. The bank is going to accept the offer that makes the most sense not just the highest offer. In this type of transaction the bank will accept a lower but reasonable cash offer rather than an offer that is dealing with financing.
