Who usually sells their houses to iShortSaleHomes.com?
Many different benefit from working with Valley and sell their homes every week.  Whether your facing foreclosure, under financial hardships, inherited an unwanted property; if you are a landlord who is tired of fixing toilets, or just someone who wants a quick cash offer with a no stress closing, we will make an offer on your property.  Regardless of the condition of your property, we will buy your house for cash, close quickly, and pay the usual and normal closing costs.

What if I have little or no equity?
Not having any equity is not a problem for us.  iShortSaleHomes.com has a full-time staff that will work with your mortgage lender throughout the process to negotiate the mortgage balance you owe to a lesser amount, creating a deal that works for both you and us.  This is our specialty!

How do you determine the price you will offer for my house?
Current market values and the condition of the house are factors determining the amount we will pay for your property.  We also considered the costs of necessary repairs, real estate sales commissions, as well as the costs of insurance, utilities, taxes, loan payments and maintenance costs while the house is being renovated and offered for sale.

How quickly can iShortSaleHomes.com close?
We have closed real estate deals in less than 24 hours before. However, most transactions will take 5 to 7 business days. We will need to order your mortgage payoff amount and a title report. These two things usually take 3 to 5 days to receive. We will need to know when we meet how fast you need and want to close and we will work diligently to work within your timeframe.

I'm in foreclosure, can you stop the auction and save my credit?
Yes, we specialize in working with homeowners in foreclosure and have been able to stop the auction and avoid a negative mark on your credit report.   If you are nearing foreclosure, call us today and don’t wait. 

Do I have to move out right away?
No, you don’t have to move out right away but the house does need to be vacant before the closing takes place.  In some cases, homeowners can stay in the property for up to six months if necessary while you find another place to live.

iShortSaleHomes.com also has a variety of programs where you can sell the house and remain living there paying rent.   In some circumstances, you rent the house back or use a lease to buy structure that allows you to buy the property back down the road. All of our rental and lease to buy rates are competitive and based on fair market rates in your community.  If we negotiate with your lender to accept less than you owe because your loan amount is higher than the property value, then you will have to move to a new home as the lenders do not allow you to remain living there.

Can I sell my house and keep living in it?
Yes, there are many reasons why you might want to sell your house and continue living there.   In a case where there is temporary financial difficulty, or if you are dealing with a divorce, or face any other challenging situations, we will work with you. We’ll work so hard to sell your house fast, free up your equity, and help you plan for a long-term solution.

Is bankruptcy a good option?
Only you can answer that question with the advice of a qualified attorney. You should know that if you file bankruptcy you may be able to walk away from the debt and the asset, or reorganize your debts. You should be aware that it’s more difficult now to file bankruptcy than in the past and you should talk to a licensed attorney before making this decision. I am not an attorney and cannot give you legal advice, but I will say that filing bankruptcy gives you short-term relief, although it is a serious matter with future ramifications and consequences. You should take this decision seriously and do everything possible to avoid filing bankruptcy. Bankruptcy will stall the foreclosure but not solve the ultimate problem. 

Can I exercise a right to redemption after my house was foreclosed?
Some states allow a certain number of days (commonly 90 days) to pay off the loan after foreclosure to allow you to get the property back. Arizona does not have this statute.

What happens if I just ignore the notices?
If you opt to do nothing and let the foreclosure process run its course, then eventually the sheriff will show up to order you to leave the property. Doing nothing is the worst option and will only lead to more problems down the road

What can iShortSaleHomes.com do for you?
After meeting with you and understanding your needs, we’ll put together a custom solution to ease your financial situation and keep you living in your home. You may choose to sell your house to us and then rent it back again for a few months or a few years. Or, you may choose to sell it to us with a buy-back option that provides you with an option to purchase home at a later time when your finances get stronger.  These are both excellent options when you need quick access to cash but do not want to move from your home.   Although, please remember that if we are working with your lender to accept a short pay off; that is, they are accepting less than you owe, you cannot remain living in the home under any circumstance.

How does a iShortSaleHomes.com plan work?
We will create solutions to your situation that will meet your needs and lifestyle.  That may be a short-term rental, long-term rental, or a buy back option for your home. It's up to you.   You can be assured that rental rates and buy back options are priced fairly. Our rental rates are based on your local market rates, and our buy back options are set up fairly with the price agreed upon in advance so there are no surprises down the line.

What if I'm not sure about the plan you offer me?
No problem. When we put together your individual plan you are not obligated in any way. Read through it, think about it, and don't worry. We will work with you to find a solution that works for all of us.  

Can you help me clean up my credit report?
Yes, we have several suggestions for you that we hope you fill find acceptable. We can even provide you information on cleaning up your credit report and we can help you with budgeting to get you back on track to financial stability.

What is a Short Sale or Short Pay off and how can it affect me?
A short sale or short pay off is a sale in which a lender allows the property securing a mortgage or deed of trust loan to be sold for less than the existing loan balance, due to factors such as the borrower’s financial circumstances, the property’s physical condition, and local real estate market conditions.

  • Qualifications for a short sale:
    • Borrower is insolvent and unable to make payments
    • Property is worth as much or less that what is owed
    • The condition of the property has deteriorated
    • Borrower has experienced unforeseen hardships
    • Local market conditions are not favorable

Lenders do not allow property owners to receive any of the proceeds from a short payoff sale. There are no exceptions to this guideline.  Arizona is not a deficiency state, which means under the statute that the lender cannot come after you for future payment. Arizona revised Statutes Section 33.814(G) provides that if your property is on 2-1/2 acres or less is a single family home or duplex, that you are protected from owing more after the foreclosure.

We create solutions and hope to have a referral relationship with you after our transaction is successfully closed.
