What is a Commerical Short Sale?

Short sales are an alternative to foreclosure, and allow commercial borrowers with hardships to sell property to a third party for an amount less than the balance of the existing loan.

Foreclosures can be devastating to credit ratings and that can create major issues for years. Short sales are often the last-ditch effort to prevent foreclosure, they can be far less devastating. Lenders prefer short sales, since their losses on loans could be less than foreclosure proceedings. . Short sales are a less expensive and much faster way to relieve some of the consequences of unexpected financial hardships - for both the lender and the commercial property owner.

Our team understands that making the decision to short sale a commercial property is not always an easy one. Short Sale Sheep is here to explain your options and work with your legal and financial team to help you make the right decision. If a short sale is the best alternative to foreclosure for a client, we will negotiate the best possible terms.

The borrower must first prove financial hardship to the lender. The lender then gives the borrower permission to proceed with the short sale. The lender agrees to accept less than the amount owed on the loan, and releases the borrower from the note rather than allowing the property to go into foreclosure.

Be aware that the commercial property owner can be held responsible for the amount forgiven on the short sale, and the amount forgiven can be counted as income on their tax return. Commercial property owners are encouraged to consult their tax and legal teams before proceeding to see how this may impact their tax and financial situation.
