What is wrong with the banks regarding short sales and why it pays to hire a specialist to help.
This is a true account of a real life real estate transaction.
A real estate listed a home in Raytown, Missouri for $100,000. The seller owed more than $100,000, so the agent and seller knew it would be a short sale.
After over 6 months on the real estate market, the list price dropped to $79,000. Soon after dropping the price an offer for $69,000 came in from another agent.
The listing agent presented the short sale offer to the seller's lender promptly. After months of dealing with the seller's lender, the listing agent had no response for the buyer and seller, so the buyer cancelled the offer.
The listing agent really wanted to help the seller, so she continued her attempts to sell the home in Raytown.
After two years of trying to sell their home, the seller has not been able to sell their home. A friend recommended to them to hire a short sale real estate specialist, so the seller lets their current listing agreement expire then the hire a short sale real estate specialist.
The short sale real estate specialist starts by making a request to the seller's lender to do an appraisal.
Although the home has newer mechanicals, paint, and decor; the appraisal comes in low. The seller's lender approves a list price of $35,000.
In the matter of a few days, the home is sold and close and the seller moves on.
Just like many short sales, a short sale specialist has experience to get the lender to understand reality. The bank in this situation is looking at what is owed on the home, not at what the home is actually worth.

The feeling of owning your own home is wonderful, especially for those couples that are first time home buyers; however, there are certain problems that can arise for real estate owners, the main one being foreclosure due to lack of payments.
When buying a home you do not expect to lose your job, a hidden bill to emerge, or a lack of money in your bank account, you expect to be able to make the payments just like you did the first few months of owning the real estate.
There are several ways of getting out of foreclosure, not many involve keeping your home. The best way to make sure the foreclosure does not appear on your credit report is to sale your real estate before the foreclosure is processed. If you choose to sell your real estate, the moment that the contract is signed by another individual the process of the foreclosure can be delayed, even if the home is already up for auction.
Foreclosures normally result in the real estate being sold under market value. This makes selling your home during a foreclosure, a better way out. If you sell your home, you can list it for market value and in return make enough money off the sale to pay your mortgage loan off and possibly find another place to live. The protection of your credit record is vital, most United States citizens never recover their excellent credit score after a foreclosure, thus making it important never to have one show up on your credit report.
During the foreclosure auction of real estate, you and your family have already heard the term vacate the premises, but if you choose to sell before the foreclosure, you will be able to stay in the home until the buyer asks you to vacate, which is normally thirty to sixty days after the sales contract was signed. In these thirty to sixty days, it is advised to plan ahead and find another place to live, as well as how you are going to be transporting your personal items and furniture from one place to the next.
No one ever wants to sell their home, especially if they have children and it is hard transferring them while in school, but at some point in your life you have to do what is best for you and your family. Keeping your credit record clean and safely insuring the new real estate that you purchase will be paid for will help your family in the long run when it comes to future foreclosure.

The two most important questions when interviewing a short sale agent to negotiate a short sale on your Gardner, Kansas home are:
1) How many short sales have you successfully completed? (If the answer is 15 or less, you might consider looking further)
2) How is the BPO process handled? (If the real estate agent says something like "it just happens" or "the lender orders the BPO", then you may consider looking further)
Why look further? An experienced short sale agent may not have the best path for you to successfully negotiate a short sale on your behalf. Why would you consider an inexperienced short sale agent on such an important issue?
Have any short sale questions, feel free to contact the Dowell Taggart Team. We would be happy to answer your questions.

Question: I lost my job 3 months ago and I'm now behind on my mortgage on my home in Olathe, Kansas. I knew there was a possibility that I would lose my job so I started working on a loan modification a couple months before I lost my job. I have not heard anything about my loan modification for the past 3 months and then yesterday I received a notice that my lender is starting to foreclose on my home. What are my options?Danny F. from Olathe, Kansas
Answer: Sorry to hear about your problem, Danny. According to AmHerst Securities Group who has monitored thousands of mortgages, 95% of the mortgages that are 60 days delinquent never were brought current nor where successfully modified. If a mortgage is 90 days delinquent, the percentage of mortgages never brought current or successfully modified was 99.2%.
Danny, if your mortgage falls into anyone of these categories and you have been trying to negotiate a loan modification and have been unsuccessful, I would suggest negotiating a "Short Sale".
If you decide that a short sale is the best path, the Dowell Taggart Team would be available to assist you. If you decide to interview real estate agents, keep in mind the two most important questions when hiring a short sale agent.

Question: I have a home in Overland Park that I owe $367,000 on and it was recently appraised for a refinance for $325,000. I had my home appraised to lower the monthly payment and complete some deferred maintenance. I need a new roof, furnace, a/c, paint and carpet. Since I can't fix up the home now and can't sell for my loan amount, what should I do? I do not have the money to make the repairs and make the monthly mortgage payment. I feel like I continually fall further and further into debt. I would really like to sell but the only way I see this happening is to do a short sale. I would like to rent a home at a lower monthly payment to build up credit before purchasing a new (more affordable home) within the next five years.Kenny T. from Overland Park, KS.
Answer: Sorry to hear about your problem Kenny. If you can prove a financial hardship, you maybe able to short sale your home in Overland Park, Kansas. But before you start a short sale, I would contact your lender and request a loan modification. Maybe your lender can help. If not, a short sale maybe the only answer.
Lets connect so we can go over the short sale process.

Question: What are the reasons that Kansas City homeowners are opting for Short Sales? Have they lost their jobs, gotten their hours cut.. or had an adjustable rate mortgage? Jamie F. from Kansas City
Answer: Great question Jamie. In order for a bank to accept a short sale, the homeowner will need to demonstrate a financial hardship. In my experience, I have seen many different reasons for homeowners to suffer a financial hardship. Some common reasons why homeowners suffer a financial hardship are medical illness, medical injury, loss of job, job transfer, deferred maintenance on the home, increased debt and so forth. There is no single reason why a Kansas City homeowner request their lender for a short sale.
