This acreage short sale just closed today – it wasn’t easy, but certainly a wonderful deal for the buyer.  If you know of anyone who is having trouble with their mortgage, there are alternatives to foreclosure.  A “Short Sale” is when a bank will opt to take less than their full payoff for the mortgage to help avoid the expense and property damage that comes with a foreclosure and a neglected home.  While it is not a quick process, it can be a great way to get a home for below-market value as a buyer.  Call me if you have any questions!
