Hey, Dan Rochon at keller Williams Realty, greetingsvirginia.com, helping to help homeowners  to avoid foreclosures in Leesburg, VA, been successful in short sales in Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C. One of the questions that so surprises me that I sometimes get about the short sale process is, “Should I just give my keys back?” This maybe the shortest video ever if I just don’t even explain it. “No.” That is actually probably the worst thing that you could posibly do, it’s  just go ahead and pretend that there’s nothing going on if you are behind on your mortgage, upside-down on your mortgage and facing foreclosure, just putting your head in the sand and ignoring that there’s an issue going, a financial distress will not help you. I’m sorry to say that it is probably not a good idea to just go ahead and go through a foreclosure and just ignore that there is a financial problem. You probably do have options but the only way for you to see if a short sale is the right option for you is to go ahead and talk to our specialists right now. So go ahead and fill out the form or give me a phone call on the phone number on this web page and I’m sure that you will agree that this is the best thing that you need to do for yourself right now and go ahead and get the process started and let’s get your questions answered.

What are the steps to a successful short sale in Virginia?

I’m Virginia short sale specialist, Dan Rochon with Keller Williams Realty and greetingsvirginia.com. Traci and I have been helping people to stop foreclosure and have been successful selling short sales in Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C. since 2007. We do short sales in Alexandria, short sales in in Fairfax, short sales in in Burke, and short sales in in other areas of Virginia

People often ask me, “Dan what is a short sale?” A short sale is when you’re upside-down on your mortgage, you have a valid financial hardship and you need to sell your home. Often times the bank or the lender that have loaned you the money when you purchased the property will forgive some or all of the deficiency. Hopefully all, but not always.

You have to understand that a short sale is a negotiation between you and your bank. To get the process started, the first part is to go ahead and fill out some paperwork which will include a financial hardship letter, financial worksheet, some bank statements, etc.

After you get your short sale documents together then go ahead and place the property onto the market. We recommend that it be in the best condition possible. We don’t necessarily recommend investing money into your Virginia short sale because we know that probably you don’t have money if you are considering this, but you can certainly have it clutter-free, have it cleaned and then allow as many potential buyers to see the home during the showing process as possible.

After you get a buyer, the short sale negotiating between you and your lender begins. The process to negotiate a short sale in Virginia can take anywhere from 1 to 4 months. I recommend hiring somebody that has experience with successfully selling short sales in Virginia with a record of success.

If you have more questions about the short sale process email me directly at dan@greetingsvirginia.com, or call 855-835-5473. I look forward to answering your short sale questions and helping you.
