Seattle short sale real estate agent

Are you facing foreclosure and need to sell your home? Top short sale real estate agent Kirk Russell is here to help you navigate this complex process.

It’s free to work with a short sale real estate agent!

Banks pay all of the fees including closing costs and a real estate agent’s commission when you complete a successful short sale.

Stop Foreclosure with a Short Sale

If you haven’t made mortgage payments, didn’t qualify for a loan modification, did a bankruptcy, or have a foreclosure auction date, a short sale is your answer!

  • You are behind on your mortgage payments

  • You owe more on your home than it's worth

  • You are ineligible to refinance or modify your mortgage

  • You are facing a long-term hardship

  • You have not been able to sell your home at a price that covers what you still owe on your mortgage

  • You can no longer afford your home and are ready or need to leave

Benefits of a short sale

  • Eliminate or reduce your mortgage debt

  • Avoid the negative impact of foreclosure

  • May be eligible for relocation assistance in some cases

  • Start repairing your credit sooner than if you went through a foreclosure

  • May be able to get a Fannie Mae mortgage to purchase a home sooner (in as little as 2 years) than if you went through foreclosure (up to 7 years)

How long will a short sale take?
The short sale negotiation process can take 3 to 6 months to get approved.

But my house is going to foreclosure, will I have enough time?

A foreclosure is a time-sensitive matter, so it is vital that you get in touch with us as soon as possible. Just starting the short sale process will not automatically stop a foreclosure. The Lender may, however, be persuaded to halt the foreclosure process so that the short sale can be negotiated. Other times, we can use our lawyers to postpone your foreclosure at no cost to you. 

Do I get any money from the short sale?

Relocation money is often provided by banks to homeowners as part of their relocation programs. However, you must qualify for this assistance and it is not guaranteed.
