Benchmark Realty, LLC is there for consumers needing to do a short sale Brentwood, Tennessee

Do you need to short sell your home?

Not sure what a short sale is? A short sale is when you owe more than what the house will possibly sell for. Short sales are typically the result of values in an area rapidly declining.

For many homeowners, a short sale is preferential to foreclosure or bankruptcy when they can get the lender to write off the difference.


What's involved in a short sale?

First, determine the true market value of your home. A qualified REALTOR®, like those at Benchmark Realty, LLC, will be able to give you a reasonable idea of what your home would possibly sell for based on prior sales of similar houses in the neighborhood. Be careful of websites where a computer estimates your house's market value since they may not have complete information or know important things like neighborhood trends and current listings.

When you're ready to get started, contact me through my site or e-mail me. I'm happy to answer any questions you have regarding real estate short sales.

Next, determine your closing costs. The qualified agents at Benchmark Realty, LLC will take into account fees such as title report, appraisal, escrow, property taxes, and agent commissions to tally your final costs at the closing table.

Finally, get in touch with your lender and notify them of the situation. They may even have a special department that deals with short sales. Ask about their exact process. Some lenders will be more able to work with you than others. They may be able to decrease your loan principal or make other arrangements. Your lender will have to give approval for the final sale.
