What is a short sale?

A short sale, negotiated settlement, or short pay occurs when a lender agrees to accept less than the amount owed to pay off a home loan. The lender usually agrees to a short sale due to the costly foreclosure process were they will take a much larger loss.

Short Sales Protected By New California Law

Thank you Governor Jerry Brown.

If you complete a short sale all of the lenders are barred from pursuing a deficiency judgment against you per California’s amended anti deficiency statues, California Civil Code 540E that was amended in Jan. and July of 2011 to allow you to walk away and requires your lenders treat the debt as “paid in full”.

This is true even if you short sale rental property (1 to 4 unit residential). This amended law also prevents the lender from requiring that you to contribute to the short sale! To view the full law, go to http://www.leginfo.ca.gov and look up Senate Bill 458.

If your property is foreclosed on and you owe your Home Owner’s Association (HOA) past HOA dues, they will likely get a small claims judgment against you and go after you, your assets and future income. This accrues interest and stays on public records for 10 years and can be renewed for additional 10 years terms!

If you complete a short sale the HOA will be paid off in full or at a discount and you will have no further liability for the unpaid balance. If your short sale is handled and completed by us, you will not pay a penny at closing.
