Aaron Hofmann and the ShortSalesCentral.com team of Keller Williams Realty Cityside have just successfully closed two more short sales. The first was on the home located at 1797 Trophy in Marietta. This transaction involved a first with Wells Fargo and all deficiencies were waived.
The second transaction was for 4778 Ivy Ridge Drive in Smyrna. This one was a lot more complex as there was a first with First Horizon and a second with Greentree. Along the way First Horizon sold their note to Nationstar. Certainly throwing a monkey wrench into the process, but persistence paid off for the Smyrna homeowner. We were able to get a foreclosure date postponed along the way and managed to get about $50,000 in deficiencies waived on the second with a $5,000 seller cash contribution at closing.
In both cases, the sellers realized the importance of getting their short sales completed during 2012. There is a window of opportunity for some home owners to sell their home without tax liability, which relates to the 2007 Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act that expires at the end of 2012. This Act allows home owners who sell their homes for less than the amount due on their loan (a short sale) to be exempt from paying income tax on the forgiven debt.
