What Is a Short Sale?

A short sale occurs when a mortgage lender agrees to accept less than the total amount owed when a property is sold. Approval is not automatic. The lender must review the homeowner’s circumstances, financial documents, property value, purchase offer, and other information before deciding whether to approve the sale.

Because every situation is different, working with a knowledgeable short sale Realtor and negotiator can make an important difference. Stephanie helps guide homeowners, buyers, and real estate professionals through the process while coordinating with lenders and other parties involved in the transaction.

Short sales are rarely ordinary real estate transactions. They can involve multiple decision-makers, strict documentation requirements, valuation reviews, deadlines, and extended negotiations. Stephanie West brings short sale experience and hands-on negotiation skills to every transaction.

As a Keller Williams Realtor serving Palm Springs, Riverside County, and Southern California, Stephanie assists homeowners who want to understand their property-sale options. She also works with agents and prospective buyers involved in short sale listings.

If you are concerned about missed mortgage payments, a notice of default, or the possibility of foreclosure, seek advice early. A short sale is not suitable for every homeowner, and legal or tax questions should be discussed with qualified professionals. Learning about the available options can help you make a more informed decision.
