Short Sale


Buying a Short Sale home from a short sale seller means a lot of paperwork and documentation requested by sellers lender. Different lender - different requirements.

In a Fort Lauderdale short sale home, Seller must disclose to a prospective buyer that they anticipate a short sale situation. Every short sale seller must inform the Real Estate Professional of any and all liens on their property and any changes which may occur in the future.

With almost every Fort Lauderdale short sale, home owner will need to provide to the lender(s) follow documentation:

- Hardship letter explaining why they can no longer make payments

- Authorization letter for Realtor or professional negotiator to speak with lender

- Financial analysis form

- Financial updates and forms

- Tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements

- Other items may be required by your lender

Please note that a short sale process and a contract for purchase submitted for a short sale approval will not automatically stop a foreclosure sale. Many lenders will proceed with the Foreclosure procedure, and time is of the essence in a short sale procedure. A foreclosure sale may be postponed by the lender upon acceptance of a short sale agreement, but a postponement is not automatic. A foreclosure may be reinstated after a postponement without further notice to the seller.

Seller Notes

Seller is hereby notified that Broker is not qualified to provide financial, legal or tax advice regarding a short sale transaction. Therefore, the Seller is advised to obtain professional tax advice and consult independent legal counsel immediately regarding the tax implications and advisability of entering into a short sale agreement.


Not all Sellers will qualify for a short sale approval!

If you stop paying your mortgage, you could lose your home and damage your credit.

Short Sale Buyer

Even though the seller may have accepted your offer for a Fort Lauderdale Short Sale, the contract is not valid until the lender accepts the offer and gives you a written Short Sale Agreement Notice. You may have been waiting for weeks for an
answer and another offer with better terms may be submitted to the seller and lender.

As a buyer you may continue to look at other properties here, in case your offer will not be accepted by a lender and you may cancel this contract for any reason before it is accepted by the lender, including when you find a property you like better.

Memorial Day Remember Fallen Soldier

March 27, 20191 min read

This and every Memorial Day Remember Fallen Soldier and pay them the Respect. In this video, we honor the fallen soldier and give you a few tips how you can do too.

We are having Memorial Day and I know everybody is having great parties and bbq’s. It is also the unofficial start of our Summer season. But do not forget on Memorial Day to honor our fallen Soldiers who didn’t come back from wherever they were stationed.  It is also a great time to honor our service people who still serve for our freedom.

I don’t know if you knew on Memorial Day at 3 a clock inter afternoon, at 3 pm there should be a minute of silence to remember everybody and to show our appreciation.

So I urge you on Memorial Day at 3 pm take a minute of silence out of your party, out of your day and if you are at the beach.  Just show them the respect with one minute of silence.

Thanks for watching, Dankeschoen and Auf Wiedersehen!
