Keller Williams Realty is there for consumers needing to execute a short sale Brandon, Florida

Time to short sell your home?

What is a short sale? A short sale happens when the amount of the outstanding loans are greater than the amount for which the home could sell. This may be caused by many causes, but most commonly is a result of a rapidly declining housing market.

For many homeowners, a short sale is an ideal way to prevent foreclosure or bankruptcy when they can get the lender to forgive the difference.


What steps do I take in a short sale?

First, figure out the true market value of your house. Since hiring a licensed appraiser may not work with your already tight budget, an experienced local real estate agent that knows the current conditions of the Brandon real estate market is a sound way to get an accurate opinion of your home's worth.

To get top dollar for your distressed real estate in Brandon, Contact Keller Williams Realty today for a company with the experience and knowledge to get you to the closing table quickly.

Next, determine your closing costs. The knowledgeable real estate professionals at Keller Williams Realty will take into account fees including title report, appraisal, escrow, property taxes, and agent commissions to estimate your final costs at closing.

Finally, call your lender and tell them of your situation. They may even have a particular department that oversees short sales. Ask about their exact process. Some lenders will be more able to work with you than others. They may be able to lessen your loan principal or make other arrangements. Your lender will have to give consent for the final sale.
