If a Spring Hill Home for Sale is in Pre-Foreclosure (Short-Sale), Can I Still Negotiate on the Price?

Reprinted from the Spring Hill Real Estate Buyers & Sellers Q&A Forum.

Spring Hill Real Estate Overworked Asset Manager This question was recently posed by a potential buyer:

If a Spring Hill Home for Sale is in Pre-Foreclosure (Short-Sale), Can I Still Negotiate on the Price?

This is a question that has both a short and long answer. The short answer is as follows:

Absolutely - one of the wonderful things about real estate is “Absolutely Everything is Negotiable”.

And now for the long (but definitely more informative) answer…

You must first define “pre-foreclosure” and/or “short-sale” to make sure that we’re all on the same page. I wrote an article about short sales on the Hernando Luxury Homes website - make sure to take a look if you have any questions…otherwise I’ll assume we’re on the same page and move forward from there.

Next we must understand the process by which a short-sale or pre-foreclosure is sold. There are several stages or dominoes that must all fall in order for the deal to go through (this is why short sales can take up to 6 months or longer to close).

Selling your home? Listen to this man.

This post is out of the norm for us, we normally keep our posts limited to homes for sale in the Spring Hill, FL area, but I wanted to share a clip of Jeff Lewis (from Bravo TV’s “Flipping Out”) where he shares some great advice for those looking to sell their homes.Click the picture to see the video!Please feel free to pass it along to anyone you know who might benefit from it.Natalie

Natalie’s Spring Hill Florida - Deal of the Day - 3 bed Pool home

Hi all!

Most of you probably know the deal, but for anyone just checking in here’s the scoop:

I spend a lot of time perusing the MLS for Josh’s Customers. Every now and again I come along a listing that catches my eye and I’d share it with Josh. He asked that I take that one step further and share it here on our Real Estate Blog, which I now do as my “Deal of the Day”.

I still think my last find is great, and here’s a fresh link to the customer display:

Please call Josh with any questions, of if you’d like me to keep my eyes peeled for homes that meet your needs.

Thanks a bunch,

Nat
