The Bank Covers All Legal Fees on Short Sales
A short sale is a real estate transaction in which the selling price of the property is less than the total amount owed on mortgages or liens. The lien holder agrees to accept the lower amount and release the homeowner from the remaining balance.
In today’s market, many lenders offer short sales to individuals who have experienced financial hardship that prevents them from keeping up with their mortgage payments. A short sale can also help avoid foreclosure and the significant negative credit impact that may come with it.
In addition to handling standard real estate transactions, our real estate attorneys have years of experience representing sellers involved in short sales throughout the Chicagoland area. Best of all, our clients pay nothing in legal fees, whether or not the short sale is successful, because we are compensated by the lender.
