Arizona Short Sale To Avoid Foreclosure
You can avoid Foreclosure doing a Arizona Short Sale, but you better read this before you hire just any Real Estate Agent!
Arizona Short Sale Straight Talk is where we try to make doing an Arizona short sale a little easier to understand!
I put together this blog because I realize that many homeowners in Arizona are facing a decision regarding home foreclosure, and I wanted to talk about the option of doing an Arizona short sale that may save your credit and relieve some stress from a bad situation.
There are several reasons to consider a Short Sale in Arizona
We all know that property values have dropped like a rock over the past few years, the economy is in the toilet, and people are unable to either justify paying a mortgage on a upside down house, (also known as a Strategic Default) or are no longer able to make the mortgage payments due to circumstances beyond their control.
Maybe you tried to do a mortgage refinance only to be told you do not qualify. If you are really upside in your home does a refinance really help you when the principal doesn’t change? These are tough decisions and require expert advice from people that specialize in Arizona Short Sales and possibly a short sale attorney.
Arizona is one of the hardest hit housing markets and it is not getting better as of the writing of this post. If you are sitting in your underwater home waiting for the value to start going back up, you may be in for a long wait!
Before you just walk away from your home, here is tip to help you avoid Foreclosure by doing an Arizona Short Sale!

If you have never heard of a Arizona short sale you are not alone. When my wife and I decided that our house was so far upside down that it was no longer a good investment, we dreaded the thought of destroying our credit with a foreclosure. We decided that a Arizona Short Sale might be the best thing moving forward.
I began researching our options and had no idea what an Arizona short sale was or how they worked. Many of the people I knew, just handed over the keys to the bank and left their homes. I knew that a foreclosure would ruin any chance of buying another house, car, credit cards, for at least 5 years.
I wanted to avoid foreclosure, but also realized that we could not stay in our home under the present conditions.
I heard from a friend in Phoenix about doing a Arizona short sale. At first, I was completely ignorant about what an Arizona short sale was or how it could help us.
Here is where it got really crazy! I started calling Arizona real estate agents and got so many different stories about how a Arizona short sale works, that I was dazed and confused. Some Realtors even told me there was no difference on my credit report between a foreclosure or a short sale. I also found many real estate agents were very inexperienced in how to do a Arizona short sale. In fact, clueless might be a better word.
Just because a Real Estate Agent says he can do an Arizona short sale, does not mean he knows how to effectively get them done. Choosing an inexperienced Real Estate agent to list your home may damage your chances of getting it done and avoiding foreclosure.
