How A Columbus Short Sale Helps Preserve Neighborhood Values

Columbus OH – Yes, short sales actually help preserve home values in a neighborhood. Here is why.

Most people short sell their home while they are still living in the home. They are maintaining the home, mowing the yard, keeping the air conditioning on, etc.

Most bank owned properties are empty for 3-6 months, if not longer. No one maintains the home during that time period. Empty homes are easy targets for vandalism and thieves.

The grass and yard get overgrown. Pools deteriorate and the water turns green with algae.

In some Southern States, such as Florida, if a home is not air conditioned during the summer, then mold will grow on the walls inside.

In the Northern States, if a home is not heated during the winter, then pipes can ice up and break causing a lot of plumbing damage.

Even things as simple as a sprinkler system can have problems when they aren’t used for 3-6 months. A sprinkler system contractor recently told us that if the system isn’t ran at least once a month, then it can have problems.

All these things added together cause bank owned homes to sell for much less than a short sale. That is why you should be proud that you are short selling your house.

You are doing a big part to help keep the housing market and your neighborhood. In addition, you are helping the entire economy because the housing market is such an important part of it. Thinking about a short sale?

Important Notice

Rick & 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.
