Short Sales in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area: Work with a Realtor You Can Trust…
If you are a struggling homeowner who is behind on their mortgage payments or “underwater” on your mortgage—owing more on your loan that what your home is actually worth—you may want to consider the possibility of a short sale. A short sale is an agreement between you and your lender to sell your home at its fair market value, even if that amount is less than what you owe on your mortgage. The basic steps of a short sale are as follows:
You sell your home for less than what you owe on your loan
- Your lender accepts that amount as payment on your loan
- You avoid foreclosure but do not receive any funds from the sale
- Your lender does not report a foreclosure to the credit bureaus
When you are facing difficult possibilities like foreclosure and bankruptcy, short sale may be your best chance to sell your home and get a fresh start. The Don Lawyer Team is a full service real estate team with special expertise in handing short sale transactions. We can show you the ways a short sale may be able to:
Preserve your credit standing
- Help you sell your home without you having to pay anything out-of-pocket
- Possibly be eligible to buy another home much sooner than if you have a foreclosure on your record
- Release you from your mortgage obligation
- Relieve financial and emotional stress
- Avoid foreclosure and/or bankruptcy
Short sales are a very popular way to avoid a foreclosure due to a job relocation, unemployment, divorce, medical bills, and adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) that have reset to a much higher monthly payment.

Real Estate Tips
Investment Real Estate >Renting Your Home
Homeowners who don't need the equity from their home to purchase a new home may consider renting it instead of selling. Rental property is almost always a good investment, but you should understand the consequences of becoming a landlord.
Tenants may not share your pride of ownership and, therefore, may not maintain the property like you would. If you plan to rent your property, acquaint yourself with state or local landlord/tenant laws, including those dealing with rent control and eviction procedures. If the home you rent has been your primary residence, you could lose the benefits of a capital gains deferral when you sell it later. Get professional advice from a tax expert and a professional real estate agent before you decide to turn your home into rental property.
