Ginny's RI House Hunt Blog: Short Sale is a Must - Time of the Essence

Short Sale is a Must - Time of the Essence

Short Sale is a Must - Time of the Essence.  These are the words that came out of my mouth the other day with RI real estate short sale signpotential RI short sale clients.  They reached out to me after finding my  short sale posts.  Can you help us make this Rhode Island real estate decision, they asked?

 
It must be your decision to short sale your home.  I can advise, layout the framework for the process, provide the advantages and disadvantages of the short sale process and have you decide...do you want a short sale or foreclosure?  You owe more on your mortgage and home equity than your home is worth ( knowing that it is a nice home, i can estimate sale price range).  For me, the obvious choice is a short sale now. 
 
The homeowners are confused, disheartened since the banks would not work with them or modify their loan, ask if they can just catch up the mortgage payments and then the REALITY discussion happens.  You have fallen 3 months behind on your mortgage and equity loan and can not bring it current from the assets you have.  You have received your Notice of Default (NOD) from the bank.  I need to stop the foreclosure process for you NOW, do you understand this I ask?  Time is of the essence right now.
 
Short sale real estate signBoth of the homeowners are still having trouble processing their financial situation.  Things happened that were beyond their control.  I need to view the home I say, come up with a marketable price to get an offer, then into a purchase and sales agreement and get the short sale process going NOW.  The short sale is a must I tell them!  Where would the money coming from to bring you current?  Not sure, they say.
 
One of the sellers ask if they can think about doing the short sale for 3 weeks?  You do not have 3 weeks now.  The bank is moving forward on foreclosure steps.  You really need to move forward and put the house up for sale.  So I gave them the number of the short sale attorney I work with to call.  They know him well.
 
Their financial advisor just told them it would be best if they sold their home now. They are not getting the time of the essence situation here.  They are still not processing what has happened to their financial lives.  But they need to process it all quickly.  I know my team can help them.  
 
 If you are facing a similar financial RI home situation or have a family member or friend who is, have them call me at 401.529.7849 today.  We need to talk about short sales because time may be of the essence for them too in the land of RI short sales.  Short Sale is a Must - Time of the Essence.

Yes, time is of the essence and waiting can be the worst thing they do.  I'm glad they found you as you can really help them save the house before the bank takes it.

Ginny, You called it like you see it and you're right.  Time is of the essence.

Ginny I see two things here:

  • They do not understand what is happening
  • You need to be very careful because they do not understand, because when reality finally sets in and the outcome is not what they expected, you will be the one that they will blame even though they will have made the decision.

Be very careful this can really blow up into a mess that is bigger than it already is.

Joan, homeowners who have waited so long and have not reached earlier...well it takes awhile for them to get it.

John, it is a struggle.

George, that is why I told him they make their decision after they talk to the real estate lawyer who is their acquaintance...they think that they can just wait it out a bit longer & something miraculous might happen....

Ginny, I do hope they listen to you as you are the EXPERT.

Hi Ginny,

Sadly, I think this happens a lot because, as George said, people do not understand what is happening. I hope things turn out well for the couple in your story. Good luck and keep up the good work as a top North Kingstown short sale agent!
