Short Sales? What are they and are they
right for you?
Short sales arose years ago as a way for people facing foreclosure to sell their home, with the bank taking the proceeds, even if it is
less than the total owed. With today's downward realty trend, and 60% of
homes being worth less than the money owed, short sales are the method used when
anyone has to sell their home in the case of a job transfer, divorce,
disability, or retirement reasons.
If you have to sell and you owe
more than your home is worth, consider a short sale. To find out more,
come to a free short sale seminar on September 28th. Register at www.ShortSaleSpecialistNJ.com
