In order to be eligible for a short sale and have us represent you we must be able to prove to the lender that you are a victim of a “hardship” and therefore unable to continue making payments on your mortgage. A hardship situation is one that is the result of some extenuating circumstance that forces the borrower into a position where they can no longer afford their mortgage payments. While every situation is different, some frequent examples of hardship include:
- Unemployment or loss of primary income source
- Inability to work due to health crisis
- Mounting medical expenses
- Employment relocation
- Failure of business
- Bankruptcy
- Death of spouse or significant other
- Divorce or separation
- Incarceration
It is best though to get a free consultation to see if you would qualify.
