If your home is worth less than you owe and you are thinking about selling it.  (a short sale)   You may be looking at 3 major concerns:

1.  Will you be released from any further liability for the loans (release of deficiency) ?

2.  Will you be able to minimize your tax exposure to the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board?

3.  Will you be able to minimize damage to your credit?

Note: Since the banks gorged on the tax payers TARP money it has become more difficult to get released from the deficiency.

You will quickly see why we think it may be 6 figure mistake to put your future in the hands of a Realtor too stingy to bring a lawyer onto the team.

Note:

The California Association of Realtors forms are arguably designed to protect Realtors and not necessarily you.  Did you know C.A.R has designed at least 4 loopholes into the Purchase and Sale agreement which lawyers rountinely exploit to help buyers back out of deals right up until closing. Send us an email and we will explain which paragraphs deserve your attention.

Buyers

We believe that a good buyer's Realtor can be worth far more than he or she earns as a commission.  However a Realtor who knows family homes in Carlsbad is probably not the Realtor you want to work with in Rancho Santa Fe, and vice versa. We can help you make sure you are working with the right Realtor.  Buying San Diego Real Estate.

Sellers

When selling a right side up property you have to strike a balance between maximizing your potential net and pricing yourself above the market.  When selling an upside down home, you want to make sure you are a price leader.  Find out how we can help you make smart pricing and selling decisions.    Selling San Diego Real Estate.
