"Hire Professionals and Get It Sold"

Even in the best of markets selling your home can be challenging. . . now is the time to call on a skilled professional like Verle & Helen Yoder to sell or find your southern California homes for sale!

Why do Short sales stay on the market for a much longer time frame?
• Because of the additional time needed for lenders to approve a short sale offer
• Lenders may not be devoting enough staff to handle the ongoing volume of short sales
• The loan on the short sale property may be bundled into mortgage-backed securities, making it more time consuming for the mortgage servicer to identify the owner of the mortgage and obtain permission to sell the property
• Lenders may be waiting to see if they could get a better deal through a foreclosure sale than the short sale offer
• Lenders may agree to list a property as a short sale while also pursuing foreclosure on that property in anticipation of an insurance payout to cover the loss of the property through mortgage insurance.

The inventory level for short sales is likely to remain high in the foreseeable future as long as the log jam situation mentioned above remains an issue with the lenders.

Thanks so much for everything!
Selling our house was really a stress-free experience thanks to Helen and Verle. They should be commended on their patience and integrity, together they really look out for her clients. It was so nice to have such a great “Realtor Team” to help us like we were family!
