Does a Seller have to pay closings costs and Realtor commissions on a Short Sale?

NO, you don’t have to pay closings costs and realtor commissions on a short sale!  On a short sale, even though you are the seller, the lender allows certain fees to be paid out at closing that normally the seller would have to pay, i.e. title work, transfer tax, Realtor commissions, etc.   Sometimes the Realtor fees are reduced in order to sell the property on behalf of the seller.  That means that our service is absolutely FREE to you, as your lender(s) allows the Realtor(s) to receive commission on the sale of the property.  If we don’t sell your house then we don’t get paid.

What price, condition and location does my house have to be in order for you to help?

We have negotiated and closed short sales on homes in any location (primarily throughout Central Florida), price and condition.  In all of our purchase contracts we put the following clauses:

  1. “The seller is selling the property AS-IS, with no contributions for repairs.”
  2. “The buyer will turn on the utilities for inspection.”

 

These provisions in the contract make the buyer pay for all the repairs to the home that may be necessary for the buyer’s mortgage approval, and the buyer pays to have the utilities turned on for inspection, should they not already be on.

Can I back out of the Short Sale?

 We always put a provision in the contract that gives control to our sellers that states “This offer is subject to the lender taking a short sale acceptable to the seller and waiving the deficiency judgment.”  Should we obtain a short sale but there is a deficiency judgment, then you can choose not to sell the property – You are in control.
