Follow on Google News | Avoiding Short Sale Scams - by Short Sale San DiegoThe decision to give up the family home and sell it via a short sale can be very distressing and upsetting for many individuals. Making sure that you are utilizing a reputable company or agent will save you time and frustration.
By: Short Sale San Diego Another scam making the rounds is the good old Bait & Switch. When this happens with a short sale scenario, the seller actually deceives the homeowner into signing over the property to them. This is done via getting the homeowner to sign a series of very intricate and protracted legal documents that are written in complex legalese. This type of scam is most often used with elderly homeowners or those who are not fluent in English. Remember to never sign a document without being perfectly clear regarding what you are signing and why. Further, you should never sign anything where there are blank sections wherein additional and deceptive details can be written in at a later time. Similarly, you should never feel pressured to sign a document and any verbal agreements that you have established should also be in writing. The best way to avoid a short sale scam is to work with a reputable and established short sale specialist. This real estate agent should be willing to present not just their credentials, but also will provide recent references for your review. Also, the short sale agent that you use should make themselves available to you, have a history of successful short sales and disclose all pieces of the short sale process as it unfolds. A competent short sale specialist will operate with honesty, integrity, professionalism and compassion. Visit www.shortsalesandiego.com for more information about short sales.
