Short Sales

Guidance Through The Short Sale Process

For more than a decade, the attorneys of Marrs & Terry, PLLC, have helped clients fight back against debt and, in the process, regain control of their finances. Today, we regularly assist clients in using short sales as a foreclosure avoidance financial strategy in order to position themselves for the future.

How Can Short Sales Help Prevent Foreclosure?

We have given short sale advice to people just like you who want to take deliberate action when it comes to managing their finances and avoiding foreclosure. A short sale is one of the more popular foreclosure alternatives available to people for a number of reasons.

First, the mortgage payment itself is often one of the primary contributors to financial distress. So much money is going toward a mortgage payment that there is little left over to pay for daily necessities. As a result, the credit card bills go up. Getting out from under that mortgage, therefore, can help families put their ship right while also avoiding foreclosure.

Second, people often owe more on the house than it is worth. A short sale helps people put an end to a bad investment and move on to a better arrangement.

A short sale can do these things because it enables you to sell the house for less than what is owed on the mortgage. At the same time, whatever is left over on the mortgage after the sale does not have to be paid back.
