Short Sales: A Solution for Qualified

Homeowners

“Experience Makes The Difference”


A Short Sale occurs when

• The value of a property is less than the total amount required to sell the property

AND

• The lender(s) accept less than what is owed to allow the sale of the property



Does Your Property Qualify?

• Is there any equity in your property?– If yes, you do not qualify.

• If No, you may qualify– 1st mortgage only – best chance– 1st or 2nd mortgage – good chance– Other liens – must be reviewed


Do You Qualify?

• If you have the ability to make payments and maintain a modest lifestyle then you do not qualify.

• You qualify if:– Your liabilities exceed your assets– You do not have sufficient income after reasonable living

expenses to pay your mortgage(s)– You understand you will not receive any money from the

sale of the property– You understand that there is no guarantee

However, The Krupa Team and Short Sale Operations LLC will work diligently to close a successful short sale transaction
