When is the best time to sell a house?

Spring is one of the most popular times to sell a house. Longer days bring in more potential buyers. Be sure to do your “Spring Cleaning” inside and out, which will make your property even more appealing.

What is a Real Estate Short Sale?

A short sale occurs when the proceeds from selling the property falls short of paying the balance of debts secured by liens against the property. For example, if a person owes $250,000 on their mortgage but the property is only worth $200,000, there will not be enough money to pay off their debt (the mortgage). If the property owner cannot afford to pay back the liens’ full amounts, a short sale may be an option for them.

If you are thinking about doing a short sale, contact our office for a free consultation!
