Is A Short Sale The Same As A Pre-Foreclosure?

06/17/2011
Short Sale Info

No, a short sale is not the same as a pre-foreclosure. A pre-foreclosure home has begun the legal process of foreclosure in California. Typically, this means that a Notice of Default has been sent to the home owner and filed at the County Recorder’s Office. Notices of Default are a matter of public record, and as such it is relatively easy to determine if a Notice of Default has been served on the property owner. After three months, if the Notice of Default is not cured by the home owner, the lender can then file a Notice of Trustee’s Sale. During this time period, people will often refer to a home as a pre-foreclosure.

Short Sale Info

Have you reached the point of no return? I meet and speak with people considering short sales almost everyday. Some are ready to begin the process and some are not. I tell each one of them -- I don’t talk people into short sales -- most people who want to list their home as a short sale know it before call me.
