1. When you are considering buying a short sale home, BE PATIENT

2. Know that the price listed, may not be the "APPROVED" PRICE of the mortgage lender

3. Short sales are "AS-IS" ... The seller will make NO improvement to the property.

The best advice is to work with an Alliance Associates Realtors Agent who has experience in short sales. Each bank is different but processes are similar, our desire is to help you expedite the transaction and to protect your interests. We do this by doing a market analysis of the area on recent home sales. This will give us a better idea of which properties are selling and our agents will work with you to establish an appropriate price that a bank would be most likely to approve.

If you place a bid on an "approved listed price," the bank most likely will not accept less than the listed amount.

Your loan process should start immediately at the beginning of your short sale contract. YOU DO NOT start the process after the bank "approves" the short sale, as the bank may only give you a short number of days to close the loan or deny the short sale. YOU MUST CLOSE ON TIME. Alliance Associates Realtors, treats a short sale as a regular sale, so that you will not miss your opportunity.
