Danbury Short Sale Attorney

What is a Short Sale in CT?

A short sale is the sale of your home for less than the existing amount of the mortgage or mortgages existing on your home. Many individuals in Connecticut are currently "underwater" on their mortgages, owing more than the home is worth.

When attempting to sell it, the only way to do it is the lender agrees to accept a short sale. Many banks will entertain this solution now that so many property owners are no longer able to afford their homes. A short sale attorney can provide you with the legal guidance you will need during this process.
