Hello Lori,

I agree with Pat. I have done transactions as well with a daughter buying a mothers short sale. Just be upfront with the short sale banks. Make sure the buyers’ agent sends an introduction letter explaining the (family) situation along with the hardship letter.

Best regards,

Adam

yes but it's not an "at arms length transaction" so the banks and title company need to be informed and they have to agree.

Yes. I've been involved in that situation a couple of times. Just be sure your realtor informs the bank or lein holder of the situation right off the bat, in case THEY have a problem with it.
Thanks for writing!
