are there any negative aspects to a quick possession? Is it similar to a short sale?
In the Denver market, quick possession means the Seller is able to close and give possession to the home quickly...most often, the home is already vacant, so buyer can close very quickly and be in the house on the day of closing.
It is often code for 'this house is vacant'. Buyers usually like to see the words, 'quick possession', but that's not what you want if you're looking for a long closing. It has nothing to do with short sales.
'Short sale' refers to a house which will not sell for as much as the owner owes on it. So the owner must present an offer to the bank, and ask them to release the house for sale (release the lien) even though the full debt won't be paid. This process takes several weeks, sometimes months, which can be very frustrating for a buyer who's ready to move. But if you need a longer time before closing, this could be your answer. Just remember - as far as time goes, there's nothing short about a short sale. What's 'short' is money.
It means the seller is willing to close quickly. As in let you possess the home quickly.

It means that the seller can give you possession quickly. Sometimes a seller will want 60 days before possession so that they can find a new house after selling theirs. Quick possession means that they don't need this time and will give you quick closing (could happen as quickly as 15 days). Quick possession would be advantageous if you needed to be out of your house on a certain date.
