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

Closing or Settlement >Estimated Closing Costs

There is a federal law that requires mortgage lenders to give prospective buyers an itemized, "good-faith" estimate of their closing costs. Sometimes buyers arrive at the closing with this document in hand and proceed to question each item on the final closing statement that does not match the estimate exactly.

These "good-faith" estimates are just that--estimates. The lender's charges will be fairly accurate, but the charges for attorneys, termite inspections, title insurance, and other items that appear on the closing sheet may vary from the estimate. Some pro-rated items, such as taxes or homeowner's association fees, will also be different if you don't close on the date that was used to calculate the estimate. The purpose of the disclosure law is to give you a ball park figure of your closing costs. But the estimate you are given won't be to the penny--probably not even to the dollar!
