Short Sale vs. Foreclosure: Which is the Better Option?

Short Sale vs. Foreclosure: Which is the Better Option?

Losing your home to foreclosure due to an inability to keep up with your monthly mortgage payments is one of life's most unpleasant experiences. It is also an event that keeps on affecting you long after your home is history by devastating your credit score. Regrettably, most people cannot be 100% sure that they will remain safe from foreclosure because they can't foresee the unexpected. Occurrences such as serious illness, a major accident, divorce or job loss can happen to anyone. So it's a good idea to understand the available alternatives should the worst occur.

Of all available options, foreclosure is the worst

The inevitable result of a foreclosure is the lender taking your house. Not only will you lose your house, but the lender can get a judgment against you for the arrearages you owe plus his costs for the foreclosure action. If that isn't enough, your credit report will be in terminal condition for many years to come, worsening an already bad financial situation and making it very difficult to obtain any other kind of credit. There is no upside to foreclosure. It should be avoided at all costs.

Consider a short sale when foreclosure seems inevitable

A short sale is a popular option for homeowners mired down with financial problems. In this case, you would sell your home for less than what you owe your lender; the biggest problem you will face is getting your lender to agree to a short sale. In many situations, they will not. Experts advise pursuing this option the minute you realize that you are falling behind in your payments and most likely won't be able to catch up. The longer you wait and the greater the amount you are in arrears, the less likely it becomes that your lender will even be willing to discuss a short sale.

short sale has disadvantages too

While a short sale will save you from foreclosure, it will also have a negative effect on your credit score, frequently lowering it by as much as 200 points. This can be overcome more quickly than the black mark of a foreclosure, especially if you manage to retain one or two credit cards and keep them current. Perhaps equally distressing, the Internal Revenue Service frequently deemed the difference between the mortgage balance and the amount realized from the short sale to be taxable as income despite the fact that the debtor never saw a dime of it. There is new federal legislation called the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act 0f 2007 that just went into effect on January 1st, 2008. The new act essentially eliminates this problem.

Almost any option is better than foreclosure

Simply stated, do everything you can before foreclosure occurs and do it as quickly as humanly possible. Don't sit back and keep thinking, "What can I do?" Instead, consider that short sale and check with your lender before your options become more limited.

The One Best Tip I Can Give You: Don't Do This Alone

Dear home-owner,

I successfully short sold my house, and the single biggest reason was my real estate agent. Having someone who could work on my behalf was incredible. Facing foreclosure is a scary thing, I know, I was about a month away from losing my home before I got my short sale done.

Don't just get any real estate agent to help you! Matt had lots of short sale experience, and it made all the difference. He knew who to talk to, when to talk to them, and how to handle all the paperwork to get the deal done.

R. Christopher

You Need An Experienced Short Sale Agent!

It's one strike against you if the listing agent has never handled a short sale, but it's even worse if your own agent has no experience in that arena. You need an experienced short sale agent.

An agent with experience in short sales will help to expedite your transaction and protect your interests. You don't want to miss any important detail due to inexperience or find out your transaction is not going to close on time because no one has followed up in a timely manner. I have the experience and I currently have a 100% success rate in working Short Sales in the area. If time is of the essence, contact Matt Martel of REMAX Northern Edge Realty today! (603) 723-0521 or email matthewmartel@remax.net

If you or someone you know is facing foreclosure this is a must read.

Dear Home Owner, If you or someone you know are facing foreclosure, and have exhausted all other options you may need to sell. If you have little equity in your home it could be discouraging, but don't worry, it is not a problem.. sometimes a short sale is necessary to avoid foreclosure. (A short sale is when the bank accepts less than what is owed on the property ). I have experience and relationships with the banks to help you accomplish the sale to avoid having a foreclosure added to your credit report. If Foreclosure is looming, Hire an Agent with Short Sale Experience. It's one strike against you if the listing agent has never handled a short sale, but it's even worse if your own agent has no experience in that arena. You need an experienced short sale agent. An agent with experience in short sales will help to expedite your transaction and protect your interests. You don't want to miss any important detail due to inexperience or find out your transaction is not going to close on time because no one has followed up in a timely manner. I have the experience and I currently have a 100% success rate in working Short Sales in the area. If time is of the essence, contact me today! (603) 723-0521. I can help you and I’m only a phone call away (603) 723-0521. Contact me for a free & confidential consultation. Live in your home payment free until it sells!

Who's #1 in total sales $ volume in Coos County?

Whos' #1 in total sales $ volume in Coos County, NH? Well it all depends on how you look at it. RE/MAX Northern Edge Realty just had it's 6th anniversary in our Berlin NH location. 6 years would be the year 2004 and since 2006 RE/MAX Northern Edge Realty is #1 in total sales $ volume in Coos County, NH.

Thank you Coos County for making us #ONE!

Thank you Berlin-Gorham NH for making us #ONE!

Other Berlin agencies may claim they are #1 but ask them to prove it. They can't. Sure they can go back over the years and claim they are #1 but ask them to show you how they are doing since RE/MAX Northern Edge Realty began marketing property in the area.

To be honest we are tired of going back & forth regarding this matter. Visit our Berlin NH office located on 232 Glen Avenue or contact one of our top producing sales agents to show you the facts, the figures & graphs.

We would be happy to sit down with you and view the data first hand using the same computer program/MLS that the other Berlin agencies pull their information. It's simple and will only take a few minutes. You will be glad you did.

Again get the facts, Visit RE/MAX Northern Edge Realty today! (603) 752-0003.

New Hampshire's Governor's grant to assist in preparing and educating the local community about the job and business opportunities that will come with the activation of FCI Berlin!

Governor announces partnerships with WMCC
by Erik Eisele January 27, 2010
CONCORD - Governor Lynch announced two new initiatives to help stimulate the North Country economy in his state of the state address on Thursday.

"Even before the onset of this recession the North Country's economy lagged behind the rest of the state," he said. "That is why we are launching two new efforts to help North Country citizens build their own businesses and to connect North Country workers with jobs."

Both initiatives are partnerships between the state and White Mountains Community College. One will focus on people looking to start new businesses, and the other will focus on training people to work at the federal prison.

"The college will work with entrepreneurs to develop business plans, to help them develop marketing plans, and to connect them with financing and other resources," Gov. Lynch said of the first proposal. "This initiative will provide aspiring entrepreneurs in the North Country the technical support they need to build their own businesses and to create jobs for their neighbors."

The initiative, called the North Country New Business Launch Pad, will be modeled after a successful program from the Monadnock Region, WMCC President Kathy Eneguess said it an email to WMCC staff. "It will provide training and support to aspiring business owners in Coos, Northern Grafton and Northern Carroll Counties."

It will focus on the new opportunities coming to the region, such as the federal prison and sustainable energy. WMCC will work in concert with North Country Investment Corporation, Androscoggin Valley Economic Recovery Corporation, Coös Economic Development Corporation, MicroCredit New Hampshire, the Women's Rural Entrepreneurial Network, the Small Business Development Center, and local banks. WMCC will organize the program, but individuals will have access the resources of all of the partners.

"WMCC envisions the program will provide technical assistance to develop a business plan and financing, access to faculty, high speed Internet, and the college resource library," she said.

She called it a "non-traditional education approach."

The second effort will prepare workers for the scheduled opening of the federal prison in the fall.

"In September 2010, a new federal prison will open in Berlin, employing an estimated 300 people," the Governor said in his address. "North Country businesses and workers deserve to reap the economic benefits of this new facility. Let's make sure that these new jobs go to North Country workers."

"We will partner with White Mountain Community College," he said, "to train individuals who want to work at the prison and to provide technical assistance to companies that have goods and services to sell to the prison."

This initiative, President Eneguess said, is called the New Hampshire Talent Team Proposal. It will, "prepare local citizens for employment on federal projects," she said, "while also assisting incumbent and new businesses with the tools needed to become approved vendors for the provision of services and sales to State and Federal agencies."

It is based on a West Virginia model, she said. It will enlist a number of regional and statewide agencies as well, she said, including NH Works Centers, the Department of Resources and Economic Development, the City of Berlin, the Bureau of Prisons, Northern Human Services, AVER, NCIC, CEDC and the New Hampshire School to Work program.

"This is another way to keep WMCC on the move," President Eneguess said, while growing the region's economies.
