Need to sell your Emory-CDC neighborhood home? We have experience negotiating with short sales and Banks!

Need to sell your Emory-CDC neighborhood home? We have experience negotiating with short sales and Banks! 

If you are underwater on your home we can help.  Many home owners in the Emory University and CDC neighborhoods owe their bank more than the home is worth in today’s market.  If you need to sell, we can help you by marketing your home as a “Short Sale” and negotiating with your lender to accept a payoff that is less than you presently owe on the home.

Life goes on even if the housing market has made it difficult to pull up stakes and move to another city or neighborhood. Short sales are an opportunity to sell your present home and get out from under house payments that are too high for your present financial situation.

Yes, you will take a ding on your credit if you do a short sale, but it will be much less than if you allow your home to go to foreclosure.  You will qualify much quicker for the purchase of your next home if you do a short sale versus a foreclosure.

Worried about what the neighbors will think?  Well you shouldn’t. Statistics show they are probably under water on their mortgage also.  And we market your home without all the short sale signage and blaring wording that other agents use.  Your home will show as a short sale in the “agents only” section of the FMLS and GAMLS but it will not appear in other advertising (unless you instruct us to do differently).

Most importantly, we professionally market (and sell) over 50 homes a year in Emory and CDC neighorhoods.  Most of these sales are not short sales, but we do enough short sales to know the ropes on dealing with tough lenders.  

If you are losing sleep about house payments you can no longer afford, give us a call and we will talk you through the process.
