Living in the Chicago area and fearing foreclosure? You don't have to abandon your property – you could consider what's called a Short Sale. Re/Max City is the #1 Re/Max office in Chicago educated on this process that helps the struggling homeowner understand they have choices outside of a traditional foreclosure. I can help you understand the short sale process, determine if this is best course of action for you, and guide you through the process every step of the way.
What is a short sale? Simply put, it is the sale of a home where the proceeds fall short of the balance owed on the property's loan. What that means for our Chicago clients is that rather than choosing foreclosure, you can have the lender accept the loss and still sell your property. Currently we are helping hundreds of homeowners in Chicago and Suburbs to avoid one of the most stressful experiences in people's lives
Buyer Beware: Many agents call themselves short sale realtors or specialists; however, only a small percentage of them have been properly trained and are ready to perform a successful transaction. At Re/Max City we are Certified Distressed Property Experts® (CDPE) and on regular basis we undergo extensive training on foreclosure avoidance which includes the constantly changing environment of short sales.
Let's be clear. A short sale is not an automatic process. In fact, not all of them are accepted by lenders for variety of reasons. Certain conditions must be met on your part and all involved lenders have to agree on the terms. Lenders require all short sale transactions to be handled by experienced Realtors and the property has to be properly marketed and listed on the MLS. The entire process takes time, patience, good communication skills and professionalism on the part of the negotiating party to be successful. That's where we come into the picture. Let our short sale expert, Andrew Filipowski help you navigate through this difficult process. Andrew is an experienced Realtor and Real Estate Marketing expert, licensed and serving Chicago and Suburbs since 1993 and he's here to help.
While enduring financial difficulties is challenging for any family, the process of finding a qualified real estate professional should not be. With nearly 20 years of experience, we are confident that listing with Andrew Filipowski will considerably increase your odds of being approved. His knowledge, experience, marketing abilities, and connections are the key. Call us now to handle your short sale.
When you do a short sale with us, you will never be asked to pay us any money, regardless whether the deal closes or not. Also, real estate commission, attorney's fees, title company fees, and seller's closing costs will be paid by your lender at closing, from the proceeds of the sale.
We are on your side. In the entire transaction we represent you, the seller, not the bank. Through our team of negotiators, we try to get you the best possible terms of the short sale, including the waiver for deficiency judgment, so the lender does not go after you once the sale is completed. Our negotiating company has managed more short sale deals than any other company in the state of Illinois and they have successfully negotiated short sales with virtually all lenders.
