A Common Columbus Short Sale Myth: Everyone Who Short Sells Their Home Will Be Released From The Debt

Columbus OH – Be careful who you take short sale advice from. Unfortunately, not everyone knows and understands short sales.

Here is an example of the myths propagated by people who think they know and understand short sales. I received an email from another agent recently.

This agent thought that a Federal Law had outlawed deficiencies on short sales. This agent mistakenly thought that the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 made it so that anyone could short sale their house and the debt would automatically be forgiven.

This agent had sold over 50 short sales and was experienced on short sales. She assumed that since the short sale lenders had not mentioned a deficiency in the short sale approval letter that meant there was no deficiency.

This agent was located in Oregon. However, according to this Oregon Attorney's Website, she was mistaken. Any of her 50 short sale customers could be at risk of a deficiency, even though their agent had told them that the loan had been forgiven.

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.
