Determining Value

The most common types are:

  • Standard Sale: This home owner has equity and is in control of the sale.
  • Short Sale: This home owner is upside down in equity and usually does not have the funds to make the monthly payments. This homeowner wants to avoid a foreclosure. The mortgage company will have to approve the  sale of the home for less then what is owed.
  • Probate: This happens most often when a person has died and it is being sold by the executors of the estate.
  • REO- Real Estate Owned – This is owned by a mortgage company (a bank most often) and is selling it after taking it back from the previous owners.
