Chico Short Sale Lawyer

Sometimes, no matter how hard you work to bring in more money and turn around a difficult financial situation, your best efforts are just not enough. During such times of financial hardship, the threat of losing your home to foreclosure is extremely serious and deeply troubling to most homeowners. Not only do you risk losing your home and sanctuary, but there is also the long-term damage that foreclosing on a house brings. Your credit score can drop as many as 200 points and the foreclosure will remain on your record for 10 years.

Short sales offer you a way to get out of this situation without having to foreclose on your home. A short sale entails you making an agreement with your lender so that you are able to sell your home for less than you owe on the property, with the lender waving the remainder.

However they are significantly better than a foreclosure and enable you to walk away from the property without too much damage to your credit, and without having to go through the costly foreclosure process.
