Kendall County Short Sale Attorneys

Completing a short sale is a complicated process. However, if you hire an attorney who is focused on this type of transaction, along with an experienced Realtor, a short sale can be a very beneficial alternative to foreclosure or bankruptcy.

The lawyers at McAdams & Sartori, LLC have major experience when it comes to representing sellers in short sales. We will explain the process to you throughout every step and ensure your sale proceeds as efficiently as possible.

Short Sales in Illinois

There are many specific rules surrounding a short sale in Illinois. Here are some of the main considerations regarding bank approval:

• The seller can receive no proceeds. All customary closing costs (i.e. commission, taxes, title fees, attorney’s fees) are paid by the bank.
• There is no guarantee the bank will approve the sale.
• The real estate sales contract and any Realtor commissions must be stated as “contingent upon the approval of the lender.”
• The seller must accept an offer. Then the bank must approve the terms of the offer as well as sign off on the seller’s financial hardship circumstances.
• The seller will need to prove a financial hardship in order for the bank to approve their short sale. This will be done by the negotiating attorney providing the contract, title report, proposed settlement statement and extensive financial information to the bank.
• The bank will do its own research on the property to confirm that the sale price is justified.
• The listing real estate agent must make sure there are comparative sales similar to the sales price that is accepted or the bank will reject the transaction.
