If I decide on the
Short Sale process, how do I qualify?
First, you will need to
prove that a Hardship exists. Then via negotiations on your behalf by a US
HouseSaver representative, the lender(s) must accept the negotiated proceeds
from the Short Sale.
The property owner will
need to:
-
Provide and complete
all required documentation to USH.
-
Sign a listing
agreement with the designated broker/agent.
-
List the property for
immediate sale.
-
Cooperate with
broker/agent to allow access for showings, inspections, etc.
-
Upon the close of
escrow, agree to vacate the property in specified timeframe.
-
Agree not to further
encumber the property.
-
Prepare and maintain
the property for showing to potential buyers.
-
Make any necessary
minor repairs.
-
Act in a responsible
manner during the short sale process, until the close of escrow.

mistakes or omissions. US HouseSaver recommends that you work with a
