Will My Credit Be Impacted If I Do A Short Sale?
Thank you for joining me, I am Kevin Kauffman, co-owner of Group 46:10, one of the top real estate and short sale businesses in Mesa; in fact, we're one of the premiere short sale teams throughout the country. I am here to talk to you today about short sales and credit; it's currently one of the most commonly misunderstood topics in the real estate world. I have individuals approach me quite frequently saying they've heard that if they do a short sale it's going to negatively impact their credit score by 100 points and if they foreclose it'll drop by 200 points. I want to clarify something for you: there's no formula or calculation to tell you how much your credit score is going to drop. Everyone's situation is different. It is not even the short sale that hurts your credit score. It does impact your credit report, meaning the writing and notes on your credit report, not your numbers. What impacts your numbers are things like missed payments. If you would like to decrease the impact to your credit score, it is essential to start and complete the short sale process immediately.
That's why it is important to work with a team like ours, Group 46:10, we have over a 90% success rate with short sale completions. We actually close short sales in about 3-4 months right now. Most short sale agents are taking 6-7 months to get their short sales done, but not Group 46:10. Give us a call at 602-492-4610 and let us know what we can do to assist you. We'd love to talk to you about your underwater mortgage and what we can do to relieve you of your distressed home and get you working towards a better financial future. Please contact us with all of your short sale questions today.
