Columbus Short Sales: A Short Sale Would Have Saved This Guy's Life!

Columbus OH – I just saw a horrible story in the news about what happens when people understand how a short sale works. According to an article in the Daily Mail, the story starts with someone who was probably upside down and couldn't sell his home.

This guy had a $3.5 Million Dollar Home and couldn't afford it. It sounds like he had it on the market for a while and it wasn't selling.

This guy is behind on payments and upside down. He obviously decided that his best option was to burn the house down. So, he burns the house down.

Someone finds out and he is convicted of arson. He is sentenced to prison for 16 years. Right after his sentencing he takes a pill and dies in what looks like a suicide.

Here is what is so sad. This guy could have simply short sold his home and walked away. If you are upside down on your home and behind on payments, don't try to burn it down!

It just isn't worth it! There is a very good chance that if he had short sold his home, then his lender would have forgiven the debt. If not, then he could declare bankruptcy and wipe out the debt that way.

He would have been eligible to buy another home in 3-5 years, and 7 at the most. Problem solved! Instead, this guy just kept on making bad decision after bad decision and ended up dead!

Please contact me if you are upside down, cannot afford your home, and are concerned about a deficiency judgment. I will explain your options and the likelihood of a deficiency.

If I think there is a chance of a deficiency, then I will recommend that you talk to a bankruptcy attorney. They will explain whether or not you can wipe out the debt with a bankruptcy.

These are much better options that doing stupid, crazy things like burning your house down. 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.
