A Short Sale can be a Fresh Start!
A home that is listed for sale at a price lower than the amount still owed on the mortgage is called a “short sale”. The homeowner’s goal in selling their home this way is to avoid the penalties associated with foreclosure and leave the door open for future homeownership. In a short sale, the homeowner maintains ownership of the property, as opposed to transferring ownership to the bank. At LAER Realty Partners, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners across New England negotiate this kind of sale. We encourage our clients to see this situation simply as one door closing and another one opening. It is an opportunity to create a new beginning for you and your family. We understand that paying bills during a time of hardship is difficult. Short sale properties are our primary focus. We serve as a neutral third party to the transaction and we do not take an ownership position when negotiating your short sale. LAER agents have long-term working relationships with New England banks and have contacts that assist us in getting your short sale approved. Think of it as a fresh start!
