    Let's Start with a Short Sales Definition

    A short sale is a real estate transaction that happens when a lender accepts a mortgage payoff, which is typically less than the amount that is currently owed on the property. Often times the lender agrees to these terms so that he can aid the sale of a property by a financially distressed owner. Essentially, the lender forgives the remaining balance of the loan.

    Palm Beach County Short Sale Information for Buyers

    Short sales can be beneficial to buyers who are not in a hurry to close on their new property. While there still are deals to be had with short sales, patience is the key!  There are typically 7 steps on the buy side of a short sale.

    1. There are a number of factors that you will want to consider when it comes to picking out short sale properties. Location, price, neighborhood, sale or home values of the surrounding homes, and school rankings are just a few of the factors that will determine the value of the home.

    2. Once you have identified a possible short sale home, be sure to visit the property. It is not recommended to buy the property sight unseen. If possible, you and your Realtor should thoroughly examine the condition of the home. Many times short sale properties remain in good condition.

    3. When conducting research on a Palm Beach County short sale property be sure to ask yourself the following types of questions. What condition is the home in?  Does the neighborhood seem nice? Do the surrounding Florida homes have good curb appeal? Answering these types of questions with a member of The Veno Team will help you to choose a Palm Beach County short sale based off of concrete, analytical, and statistical data.

    4. When determining financing options, it is important that you know exactly how you are paying prior to agreeing to any terms or conditions.  You have to consider the condition of the home to see if it will qualify for the type of financing you are approved for.

    5. Assembling the proposal can be a lengthy task that is best left to a real estate professional. The short sale proposal includes: the purchase and sale contract and proof of funds or pre-approval letter.  It is also a good idea to consult with the sellers agent that all of the sellers short sale paperwork is turned in to reduce the time it will take for an acceptance.

    6. When it comes to negotiation, The Veno Team will keep your best interests at heart.  With this knowledge in mind, we will try to get you the best possible deal, while still being aware of the fact that your offer can be rejected if it is too low.

    7. After successfully completing the above steps you will need to get everything in writing, signed by the short sale seller and delivered to the short sale lender. Once everything is accepted and approved by the short sale lender, the next step is the closing, and finally the new short sale property is yours.

    Additional Benefits of Buying a Short Sale Property

    While purchasing a short sale home in Palm Beach County can sometimes be a lengthy process, it does come with a few of its own buyer benefits.

    • Own a home that you might not otherwise have been able to afford.
    • Live in prime real estate communities.
    • Purchase a property that can be enhanced to your exact specifications. Sometimes a Palm Beach County short sale property will need a little bit of work; in these instances the buyer is at a unique advantage to fix the home into their dream home.
