Real Estate
Short Sales

 
    

In response to these difficult times, HLA has devoted an important part of its practice to assisting homeowners in distress.

 
Given today’s real estate market, selling a property short is sometimes the best option available to homeowners. As everyone knows by now, the lender’s approval of the short sale is required, and there are many things that can complicate the process:
  
Some lenders are very reluctant to approve short sales;
Some lenders have onerous requirements regarding disclosure of financial information;
Some lenders want the owner(s) to be responsible for the deficiency;
Some homeowners associations will not approve the potential purchaser;
Some second lien holders refuse to sign off on the short sale;
Buyers get frustrated and withdraw their offer;
Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera

There are many things that can go wrong during the process of a short sale and, more often than not, something does go wrong. This is a reality that real estate agents understand, which is why many realtors refuse to do short sales. Unfortunately for the whole country, this dilemma keeps the real estate market from recovering.

HLA believes the best way to get the economy and personal finances back on track is to work through this mortgage crisis as quickly as possible. The only way to do that is through loan modification and/or short sales (occasionally, deed-in-lieu), which we collectively refer to as “loss mitigation.”

For this reason, our firm is committed to providing short sale facilitation services at no cost (or very low cost) to clients and realtors. We have a loss mitigation department with personnel who are experts at dealing with the problems that arise during a short sale and who are dedicated full-time to resolving those problems.
