Fine
It sounds just a the few lines you have written that you have a hardship case. I agree that you need legal advice, but you also need a Realtor experienced with short sales. You need a professional who can analyze your situation and provide you with options so you can select the most workable option.

If you need a referral to a very good Realtor with short sale experience I'd be happy to help you.

Good luck.

Dear Finething,

I agree with all three answers. You need to get with a real estate attorney immediately. And Lynn is absolutely correct. Short sales are not a scam. It may very well be a solution for you. I too specialize in short sales. In most cases, the difference between what you sell the home for versus what you owe is forgiven. It sounds like you have several options and I believe a qualified real estate attorney would be your best bet.

Good evening Barbara,

I understand that you are in a very difficult situation and to seek the advice of an attorney is wise.

It sounds like you have a few options to consider. Are you considering moving into your Dad's Villa and selling your condo that is upside down? You are in a predicament with your Dad's Villa if you cannot rent it out. So with it you could move into your Dad's Villa and sell your condo. However, to sell your condo you would have to qualify for a hardship and you indicated that you're on disability; perhaps you'd qualify for a Short Sale. I wouldn't know until I spoke with you to find out more detaisl of your financial situation. It sounds like you are getting a lot of advice and haven't stumbled across the facts yet; a qualified Real estate Attorney would be your first step. Short Sales are a great option and aren't a scam if you indeed qualify; again, check with a qualified Realtor in Short Sales.

If you would like more information on Short Sales, I would be glad to advise you on how they work. I do specialize in Short Sales and perhaps could help you shed some light on the subject and whether or not it would be right for your particular situation. Feel free to call me or email me with any questions.

I wish you the best.

Hello Finething - I agree with the other Realtor, Stefanie - you need to see a Real Estate Attoryney. Otherwise, you are going to continue to get all different kinds of opinion, just to confuse you more. Good Luck!
