🏡Should You Choose a Short Sale Over a Foreclosure?

Short sale or foreclosure- which is a better option?


Are you having problems with making your monthly mortgage payments? You may be considering what to do next. You can either choose a short sale or a foreclosure. However, before you make any decision, it’s important to know the facts.

Short sales in Charlotte NC


How do foreclosures and short sales work?


When a homeowner misses three to six months of payment, the lender will record a notice of default. The homeowner will be notified that he is facing a foreclosure and he will be given a reinstatement period to make things right by paying off debts. If the mortgage balance is not paid off within the given reinstatement period, the homeowner receives a notice of sale and the property is then auctioned at a trustee sale to the highest bidder. This is what we call a foreclosure.

A short sale is an alternative to a foreclosure. With this transaction, the bank lets the delinquent homeowner sell the home for less than what's owed. There is an understanding that the sale price might not cover the balance of the mortgage.

The homeowner works with a Charlotte NC short sale agent and puts the house on the market. However, a short sale agreement does not necessarily release the homeowner from the obligation to repay any deficiencies of the loans, unless specifically agreed to between the parties.

There are many reasons why you should choose a short sale over a foreclosure.

Charlotte NC short sales


Here are some benefits of doing a Charlotte NC short sale:


  • It’s the first step to financial freedom.
  • You are in control of your home sale, not the bank.
  • You will spare your family of the social stigma the foreclosure brings.
  • Your home sale will be handled like any other home sale.
  • You will have peace of mind because you know who will be buying your home.

Impact on your credit rating


A foreclosure can cause your credit rating to fall by 200 to 400 points. It also remains on a credit report for 7 years and can have a negative impact on your future borrowings and job applications. If a prospective employer runs a credit check on you, your job application may be denied if you have a foreclosure on your record.

On the other hand, a short sale can cause your credit rating to fall by 50 to 130 points, even though credit bureaus do not show the word "short sale" on your credit report. It may say "paid in full for less than agreed" or "settled for less," among other categories.

Buying a home again


Buying a home after a foreclosure or a short sale can be difficult. With a foreclosure, you become eligible to buy another home in 5 years, with some restrictions, or in 7 years with no restrictions. Aside from that, you have to report the foreclosure on all your future loan applications.

With a short sale, you may be able to purchase a new home immediately if your payments were never more than 30 days late and the lender does not require you to pay back the loan. Most lenders consider short sales in a better light and demand shorter waiting periods.

A short sale is better than foreclosure in many ways. Make sure to work with real estate agents who are experts in the art of negotiations of a short sale.

Call us now at 704-997-3794!  You need the right team around you to ensure the success of the short sale.

🏠What Does It Mean When a House Is Going through Probate?

Charlotte NC real estate probate- Arm yourself with the right information before selling real estate in probate.

Selling a house in probate is a little more complicated than a regular sale.


It involves a series of court-regulated steps that must be carefully followed and managed. When selling a property in probate, you have to be mindful of the deadlines, be familiar with the specialized documentation, and make sure the court’s oversight is honored in all aspects of the sale.

Before clarifying what happens to a home in probate, let start with a definition of probate.

What is probate?


A Charlotte NC Probate is the process through which a deceased person’s property, known as their “estate,” is passed to the heirs and beneficiaries named in their will. The entire process is supervised by the probate court and usually takes about a year, depending on the size and complexity of the estate.

The responsibility of overseeing the probate process falls to whomever was appointed as executor or personal representative. This person will assume responsibility for the legal affairs and obtaining probate or letters of administration, which will enable them to act as the personal representative. In the event that the home is to be sold, the grant of probate will give the executor or the personal representative the authority to do this in compliance with the will’s terms.

What happens to a house in probate?


Usually, a home is sold in probate court when an individual dies without bequeathing their property. In such cases, the state takes over and oversees the property’s sale. The court wants to ensure that the property is marketed and sold at the best price possible. 

Charlotte NC probate agent- Make probate home selling easy when you have the expert assistance of Nancy Braun!

Selling a house in probate entails going through a series of steps that are regulated by the courts. Close attention should be given to the entire real estate probate sale process because there are many details involved. The sale involves the executor, the personnel of the court, the attorney representing the estate, one or more buyers who place bids with the court and the buyers’ real estate agents. Everyone must follow the guidelines and deadlines of the court.

You start by having the home appraised in order to establish its current market value. Next, you have to get and fill out a petition from the probate court to be able to sell the property. This is filed along with the appraisal in order to get approval to sell.

Once probate is granted, the responsibility of selling the property falls on your chosen real estate probate agent. That’s why it’s important to work with a professional who is experienced in probate sales and is familiar with the language, the documentation, and the steps in the process. You want someone who’s been there and done that.

Selling a probate property can be a challenging task, so having someone there to coach you through the process is extremely necessary.
