Short Sale Tips for the Seller
Mindset
• Make your decisions on facts not fiction. Once you believe something is true you will start making choices based on this reality. If it is false you most likely will be heading down the wrong path.
• Start with your personal goals and end-result in mind.
• What about my credit? (See below - position yourself for the future).
• What about my tax liability? (Meet with your tax professional).
• Sooner is better then later - Live in the NOW! We know these can be tough decisions; however, choices need to be made. The longer you wait will only reduce your options over time.
• You will deal with financial and emotional stress - most people will be uncomfortable with this situation.
