Below are the top reasons you should consider performing a short sale with Team Kristen Schramme.
1. Avoid the foreclosure stigma - There is no “seven year limit” on a short sale. You can’t hide this situation during any future mortgage application and must disclose this during credit inquiries.
2. Protect your credit score - On average with a foreclosure you should expect your credit score to drop by 300 plus points. This will devastate any future or current credit applications. A short sale will only impact your credit score by half as much.
3. Government insured loans are more likely - Having your home foreclosed on will certainly prevent you from obtaining any government insured loan for 5-7 years, but with a short sale you will shorten this period to only two years. A foreclosure is one credit report item that is nearly impossible to repair.
4. Protect employment opportunities - Today many companies run credit checks on potential employees as a way to find the most responsible workers. A foreclosure can be a quick red flag that prevents you from getting hired. Prevent putting your job search in jeopardy by initiating a short sale selling.
