Short sales look like deals until the lender rejects your offer three months in.
You're not just negotiating with a seller. You're waiting on a bank that lost money and wants every dollar back. They review comps. They deny low offers. They drag it out while you're already emotionally invested. And the home? Sold as is. No repairs. No discounts if the roof leaks or the AC is shot. You still need a home inspection so you know what you're buying, but don't expect the lender to budge on price. If there are multiple liens on the property, add another 60 days minimum. Some deals close. Most fall apart. But if you're patient and you know what you're doing, you can still win.
I've closed short sales in the Phoenix Valley that saved buyers serious money. I'll walk you through the timeline, help you write a competitive offer, and make sure you're protected if the deal goes sideways.
