WHY USA Eastern Iowa Realty is there for consumers needing to do a short sale Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Are you ready to short sell your home?

Don't know what a short sale is? A short sale occurs when you owe more than what the house is worth. This could be due to many causes, but most often is a result of a rapidly declining real estate market.

Short sales may be a way for homeowners to avert foreclosure and pay off their loan with the lender by settling.


What steps do I take in a short sale?

First, determine the true market value of your home. Since hiring a licensed appraiser may not fit your already tight budget, a knowledgeable local real estate agent that knows the current conditions of the Cedar Rapids real estate market is the best way to get an accurate opinion of what your home could sell for.

Cedar Rapids homeowners who are upside down on their mortgage and need relief fast should turn to the expertise of WHY USA Eastern Iowa Realty to guide them through the short sale process. Contact us today for a free consultation.

Next, find out your closing costs. The qualified real estate agents at WHY USA Eastern Iowa Realty will consider fees including title report, appraisal, escrow, property taxes, and agent commissions to calculate your final costs at closing.

Finally, get in touch with your lender and make them aware of the situation. They may even have a particular department that oversees short sales. Ask about their exact process. Some lenders will be more able to work with you than others. They may be able to reduce the amount owed or make other arrangements. Your lender will have to give consent for the final sale.
