Avoid Foreclosure, Underwater? Need to know your Home’s Value, Las Vegas Real Estate Team specializing in Short Sales can help
FREQUENTLY Asked Questions on Las Vegas Short Sales and Pending foreclosure in Nevada
1.) Do I Qualify for a short sale in Nevada? If you owe more than your home would sell for – you qualify.
2.) I have enough money to pay the difference – Should I do a short sale? We suggest you contact your attorney or legal professional,
but you may want to consider paying off the difference to save your
credit or look into a loan modification. FYI – We have had people
approved even though they had the money in the bank.
3.) I have
been hearing a lot about loan modifications. Should I try one? Sure. If
you think you might qualify – why not? Word to the wise – USE YOUR
LENDER. It’s free. If your lender can’t do it – it can’t be done by some
guy who claims to be a “specialist in loan modifications” and charges
you $500 or more. The law actually states that NOBODY can charge up
front for Loan Modification services. If they try to charge you up front
– they are breaking the law. Is that who you would want trying to save
your home? If you feel you qualify for a loan modification or refinance,
we can point you to a licensed mortgage company. If you can’t qualify,
we can help you with the Nevada short sale process.
4.) Who pays the Las Vegas Short Sale Agent for their services? Good News! The bank pays us all commissions plus items the buyer may ask for such as closing costs.
5.) What is a hardship package and why do I need it? The Nevada Short Sale
hardship letter is to state your situation. The bank wants to
understand why you can’t make your payments and keep your home. A
hardship could be medical (physical or mental illness). It could be
divorce, death, relocation, loss or change of employment, addictions
causing money loss, taking care of sick parents, large amounts of child
support and so on. We can’t tell you what your hardship is, but these
are some we have seen approved. The rest of the package is simply a
combination of pay stubs, bank account statements, profit & loss
sheet, and tax returns. Some of these items are never requested from the
bank. It all depends on the bank.
6.) Can I short sale my home in Nevada and buy something more affordable? Maybe. There is talk that this may be some day be called mortgage fraud.
7.) How will the Las Vegas short sale
affect my credit. To find out an exact score hit and how your credit
will be affected, you will need to get professional advice from an
accountant and/or credit professional. It will affect your credit, we
are not licensed or trained in the credit department to tell you
specifics.
8.) How is a short sale better than a Las Vegas Foreclosure? –
Again, a credit professional, accountant or legal professional can
better advise you, but we are told that with a short sale, you can buy a
home years before you could if you had a foreclosure on your record.
9.)Can the lender come after me? They
can if they choose. It depends on how their final approval letter is
written. You still have the choice to accept or deny their terms and opt
for the foreclosure or deed in leiu of foreclosure should you decide.
We have not seen collections personally, but we understand that the debt
can be sold to a collector if it is not written as settled. This can be
negotiated in the final stages of the short sale once a negotiator has
been assigned to your case.

- Avoid Foreclosure – Foreclosures can be a very hard and stressful process for everyone. It might take anywhere from six to twelve months even for a foreclosure to complete.
- Being proactive – Facing your Las Vegas foreclosure will help give you some control over the process. By choosing a short sale, finding a buyer and negotiating terms with the bank, the huge effect on your credit score by a foreclosure can be dodged.
- Start over faster – Minimizing damage to your credit score can help you get back on your credit feet faster. You’ll be eligible to purchase another house faster than if you entered foreclosure according to major lenders.
- You might not owe anything after the Short Sale – Your agent can try asking the bank to cancel your debt altogether. It does happen, but not all the time.
- You won’t need to pay large monthly mortgage payments
- The bank may forgive the difference in debt between what you owe and the final price.
- You can avoid the time consuming and traumatic foreclosure proceedings.
- Your credit score will usually recover more quickly than a foreclosure
- You are more likely to avoid bankruptcy
- You may not be taxed on the debt forgiven.
- If you are not able to pay the mortgage premium, or work with the lender on getting a loan modification, a short sale is probably the way to go…even though it means losing your home and investment.
Negative
- There will be damage to your credit – When a short sale is completed, it is still recorded on your credit but should have a lesser impact as a foreclosure for most creditors. Although lenders will consider a short sale similar to a foreclosure, The chances of getting a home loan will still be slim for a bit.
- Tax Consequences – Talk to your accountant to see if you qualify for the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007, no taxes are owed on the forgiven debt.
- Bank Could Demand a note or some payment – The bank is not forced to forgive the debt. They may ask you to pay them back for the difference on the sale and what is owed on the mortgage, but you’ll need to agree to this.
- The mortgage holder/lender does not have to say yes to a short sale
- You must prove a hardship that prevents you from making your payments.
- A short sale is not short. The time depends on how quickly you and your agent put together the hardship package, and how quickly the lender reacts
- Lenders are known for taking a while to approve short sales.
- If your home has liens, each lien holder/lender must be consulted.
- The successful transaction depends on a good offer from a good buyer.
- The real estate agents involved will usually get a smaller commission.
- You may be asked to sign a promissory note for the debt forgiveness for approval .
- Lenders may seek repayment of the debt forgiven after the short sale is completed.
- Your credit score is going to take a hard hit. Consult tax and legal advice.
- You could be taxed. Consult a tax professional.

OK – So let’s talk short sales for a minute. Everyone is “CLAIMING” to be a Las Vegas Short Sale Specialist right? What makes them so special?
Don’t be fooled by so called “certifications” agents are now using to somehow prove that they are better at short sales in Nevada than others. Simply NOT the case. Most of these “certified” titles are given out by title companies that spin out a 90 minute class which is made up of the very basics and a lot of “Sales Pitches” from the Title Company, Attorneys, or Processors involved.
Here’s another tip – coming from someone experienced in short sales in Nevada – THIS IS JUST AN OPINION, but what are blogs for? We suggest that you Don’t choose an agent WHO WORKS ALONE!!!! Why? To stay in the real estate business, if one is primarily working short sales (…and how could they do anything else really?), they must handle volume. It is a proven statistic that at best one out of three short sales actually close. This means the agent has to spend the up front funds on marketing (if they are doing the job as they would on any other traditional sale (and why should a short sale be any different?), lock boxes, signs, files, faxes, software used for short sales, office required transactional software etc., and imagine the money spent in the form of time!
Each short sale generally brings in a multitude of buyers that cause a mountain of paperwork in the form of counters and addendums (if being done correctly in order to protect the HOMEOWNER doing the short sale).
So if it takes 3 short sales to close one which = 6 buyers on each one that = 18 Contract STACKS to close one short sale. And honestly – that is being conservative!!
How can 1 agent handle enough short sales to close a couple a month (the min. to stay in the short sale business), control all of that paperwork (with the sellers best interest at hand), do all paperwork, internet, and phone communications with the bank, handle titles and escrows (to protect their seller), negotiate with buyers agents, communication with the seller, watch for Notice of Sale and Foreclosure Filings on the property, and do a good job?
No business properly run is a one man operation. If you are considering a short sale in Nevada, consider it carefully. Get legal advice (good short sale teams have these on call), and choose a Professional team of Realtors that can handle your short sale in addition to the short sales they are already handling. You are not going to be their only client, but you should feel like you are.
…..and by the way – skip the “I closed 98% of my short sales” language. Short sales have not been around long enough for people to truly know their stats as many are still carrying the same short sales from 2 years ago! – How many were foreclosed? How many changed their minds or were rentals? How many actually closed as a short sale? Get their proven stats in writing (they can get this easily from their local MLS) – You might be surprised!
