    After being foreclosed upon, it is a common trend for banks and other financial institutions to purchase homes from homeowners who are in too much debt. These homeowners often have no options and are forced to give up their home. Short sales can be a viable option.

    Each Short sale Different things can be done. 

    The following steps are required to buy a short-sold home from the bank.

    Get in touch with the homeowner Contact these people by telephone before you go to visit. This is a crucial step because it shows respect to them and let’s them know you care about their house.

    Go to the house Set up a meeting or visit at the property to answer any questions raised during the telephone conversation. 

    Negotiate: Negotiate with the seller if you believe that your home is still a worthwhile investment. Negotiate with them to find out the reasons they’re selling and their requirements.

    Ask a bank to pre-qualify your application Once you’ve agreed on a price with the seller, take it to your bank for pre-qualification. If you feel that the bank can buy the property, you will be given more information about the closing costs.

    Close: After both sides have agreed to everything, the closing date can be determined. 

    Below are benefits for buyers who purchase short sale listings

    Get Big Savings with Reasonable Deals 

    Buyers can be confident in short-selling because they know that lenders are just as interested as sellers in negotiating deals.

    Special Financing

    Some buyers of short-sales may be eligible to receive special financing options through banks or other lending institutions. These are especially true for those who were prequalified by their mortgage broker or local lender.

    Incentive Programs for Making Repairs

    Some homebuyers may not be able to perform renovations, but those who buy such listings can request a discount on closing costs if the repairs are completed.

    No Appraisal

    The largest benefits for buyers in this type of transaction is that they do not need to have their home’s value appraised.

    There are fewer hassles 

    Short sales are typically slower than traditional sales because they have more hurdles to cross. These transactions are easier for buyers who have the right information regarding their financial situation and what they offer.

    Buyer may be able to participate in the closing costs

    In most cases, buyers who offer to buy a property through a bank representative or short sale agent will agree to bear some of the closing costs. 

    The Process is tightly controlled 

    Buyers can be protected a lot by short sales. Since a third party oversees the process, there’s less risk involved when going through this transaction.

    Credit Reports should not be foreclosed 

    Once a foreclosure has been completed, or a deed in lieu has been filed, it can be difficult to remove from someone’s credit report. However, if a listing goes through successfully without being finalized by either of these methods, it will not impact one’s credit standing.

    Redeem Discounts on All Repairs 

    Short listing buyers may get more savings than the acceptance of their offer. Short-listers may be eligible to receive discounts on repairs.

    Selling if you are listed 

    If someone plans to buy a short-sale listing, they might be able list themselves as the agent instead of working with an agent. Buyers can help choose the best listing and save many commission fees than if they had to work with an agent.

    Additional Tip

    Short sales are a lot easier than trying for the approval of an owner that isn’t in foreclosure. This is because there will typically be multiple offers on someone’s home, and with this type of competition, most buyers should feel like they have the edge in negotiations.

    Some listings can be eligible for financing from other banks and lending institutions. This is especially true for those who were prequalified by their local mortgage broker or lender.
