A Fourth Common Columbus Short Sale Myth: There Can Be No Liens On The Property

Columbus OH – This is the fourth inaccuracy I have seen in an article about short sales. I saw this article online and noted 7-8 big inaccuracies.

You can't get solid and accurate information on short sales unless you talk to an agent that has sold a few short sales.

We have been involved in hundreds of short sale transactions, so we know a little bit about what we are doing. But, that doesn't mean we know everything. This industry is constantly changing every day.

Anyways, this article said that a lender will not consider a short sale if there are any liens on the property. I know this is not true, because I have sold several short sales with liens on them.

We do short sales with two mortgages all the time. A second mortgage is simply a lien. The key is that the lien has to agree to accept what the first mortgage is willing to pay them.

We have even sold short sales that had two liens. The first lender received 120k, the second mortgage received 3k, and the third position "lien" received another 3k.

So much for the assumption that there can be no liens. I think what the author is stating is that a short sale can't be successful if you have a 50k lien that won't settle for less than 50k.

The second mortgage was owed around 65k. However, they agreed to accept 3k. They know that if the property is foreclosed upon, then they would get zero. 3k is better than nothing.

This is one of many short sales we have sold that have had liens and a second mortgage on them. Don't let inaccurate information stop you from short selling your home. Thinking about a short sale?

Important Notice

Rick and Robin Lemmons, Coldwell Banker King Thompson, and the Stop Foreclosure Institute are not affiliated in any way, shape, or form with the government. Our services have not been reviewed or endorsed by the government or your lender. Most lenders willingly work with agents on short sales. Why?

Because most short sales are beneficial to a lender. If you accept our offer to help you on a short sale, your lender may not agree to a short sale or to modify your loan. We do offer a loan modification kit.

However, the likelihood of negotiating a modification is like everything else in life. It takes work and persistence to convince your lender to modify your loan. No matter what you or we do, your lender may not approve a loan modification.

We do not recommend that you stop paying your mortgage, because this will cause damage to your credit and could cause you to lose your home. Because we know avoiding foreclosure is so important to any homeowner, we recommend that you speak with the appropriate legal or tax advisor before making any decision.

This is not intended as legal, technical, or tax advice. Please speak with a licensed professional before making any decision. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed as of the date of writing.

You have the option to reject a short sale or loan modification from your lender if it does not meet your approval. If you decide not to go thru with the short sale, then you do not have to pay us our fee. We normally make a real estate sales commission for helping you on a short sale.
