Contingent Short Sale Negotiation Schedule

Contingent fee means that we don't get paid unless your shot sale actually closes.  It makes certain that we are all on our toes at all times.  We have never charged an up front fee.  There is never any sales tax added to a contingent fee either.  Always keep in mind that the lenders pay our fee in 55% of the cases that we accept for short sale. In such cases, there is no fee paid by any party to your transaction.

The Attorney Consultation with the Seller as a Cornerstone to our Short Sale Involvement

Our success ratio in closing short sale transactions is better than 90%.  The primary reason for our success is the requirement that EVERY seller must have a consultation with one of our Senior Real Estate Attorneys before we begin.

In that consultation we will look at every aspect that is of concern for that client.  A short sale is not always the best answer for clients.  We will cover:

• Short Sales
• Bankruptcy
• Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure
• Foreclosure
• Strategic Walk Aways
• Loan Modifications
• Foreclosure Fairness Act
• Credit Impact Issues
• Tax Implications

If a short sale is in the client's best interest then we will be happy to negotiate it for them OR provide them with the information they need in order to facilitate the successful negotiation by a real estate professional.
