Want to purchase a short sale?


	When a homeowner owes more on their house than its value, it's becoming increasingly common for the lender to agree to a short sale, whereby the lender agrees to release the mortgage for a sum less than what's due.

Purchasing a short sale in Delray Beach, Florida on your own is risky. Contact Leal USA Realty for expert advice.

Are short sales good deals?

The short answer is "sometimes". Many people hear the words "short sale" and automatically think of a seller that is insolvent and needs to sell their house fast to prevent further financial problems. This is sometimes the case and can be an opportunity for a buyer to take advantage of another's misfortune. More commonly, a lender may consider a short sale even if the seller is current with their mortgage, but property values have depreciated. In these instances the reduced price may in fact be closer to actual market values, not below.

How do I buy a short sale?

Before making any purchase offers, do your research. Using an experienced real estate professional from Leal USA Realty to assist you with researching a property will help you make informed decisions. We can help reveal to whom the property is titled, the balance still owed to the lender, and whether or not a foreclosure notice has been filed. Acquiring this info can help you determine how much to offer.
Get a real estate agent with short sale expertise. The real estate agents at Leal USA Realty can aid you in expediting the transaction and make certain you're protected. Don't permit inexperience to hold up the closing process. Let our experience and knowledge work in your favor.
Even with an experienced real estate agent and under the best of situations, buying a short sale property will usually take longer than a typical real estate transaction. Be aware that a majority of short sales will not close in less than 30 days. Remember that you're not only having to satisfy the seller, but the lender must also agree to the discounted price. In most cases your offer will go before a committee to approve which will add time - sometimes even 2 to 3 months or longer.
Home warranties, buyer credits and allowances, and closing cost concessions are generally non-negotiable when buying a short sale. The lender is selling the property just the way it is which means the lender isn't going to pay for repairs. Be sure you reserve the right to have the property inspected for pests, HVAC, electrical, and other critical areas. At Leal USA Realty, when we write an offer, we will be looking out for your interests first and will always suggest that you make your offer contingent upon the results of the inspections.

When it's time to buy, whether it be a short sale or a typical home sale, Leal USA Realty can help. Apply our experience and knowledge of real estate to be certain that you're getting a fair deal and remain protected during the complete deal.
