Strategies To Help You Overcome A Mortgage Crisis!

Certified Home Rescue Experts

The Equity Rise Team has been certified with the Home Rescue Institute as Certified Home Rescue Experts with the CHRE designation.

This certification indicates that we have received special training from Home Rescue Institute and work closely with them in each short sale transaction. We are able to:

-  Advise clients who are considering the possibility of a short sale and help them determine if a short sale is their best option.

- Help prepare all the documents needed for the short sale .

- Negotiate with the bank on the seller's behalf. (Our partners at Home Rescue Institute have full-time negotiators who are trained and experienced in negotiating the terms of the short sale on behalf of the homeowner.)

 

What is a Short Sale?

What is a Short Sale?

A "short sale" is when the bank accepts a sales price that is lower than the principal balance of the mortgage.  In other words, the bank agrees to take less than is owed to them for the home. 

Banks may be willing to do this when it is clear that their only other option would to foreclose on the property. When a bank forecloses on a property, they often pay thousands of dollars in legal fees, and then have to hire a real estate agent to sell the home at market price.  Accepting a short sale allows the bank to take market price for the house without the additional expenses of the foreclosure process.

A short  sale may have significant impact on the seller's credit and may result in other liabilities.  Certified Home Rescue Experts are specially trained by Home Rescue Institute to help homeowners understand the potential outcomes.

Webinar and Video Series

Equity Rise Team member Leigh Anne Monk interviews Jerry Boutcher, founder of the Home Rescue Institute, to find the answers you're looking for regarding short sales and distressed mortgage situations.

With the impact the current economy has had on home prices, many homeowners find themselves needing to sell their homes for less than what they owe their lender. This is called a short sale . 

For homeowners, this situation raises many questions regarding what options are available and the ramifications (financial, credit, legal, etc) of pursuing those options.
