About Me

No matter what you prefer...a single family home in Lakewood Ranch, a beachfront condo on Siesta Key, a golf course villa in the Oaks, a prestigious executive home near downtown Sarasota, or a private island retreat on Casey Key...... I can help you find just what you're looking for.

Debbie is originally a native of Chicago, and has lived in Sarasota since 1998. She moved to the southwest coast of Florida to attend the Ringling School of Art, where she met her husband, Regan Dunnick, an illustrator and faculty member at the school. They are both huge Cub fans and actually got married in front of Wrigley Field! Debbie is a graduate of DePaul University's School of Music in Chicago, and besides being a Realtor with Michael Saunders & Company, she is also a piano teacher and an artist. She loves the tropical lifestyle Florida has to offer and assists her clients with great enthusiasm in obtaining their dream homes here in paradise.

As a multi-million dollar producer for Michael Saunders & Company I have the expertise, the resources, and the background necessary to succeed in helping my clients find their dream home.

What is a Short Sale?

Asked Fri Nov 14 2008, 04:08 by David Richie - Sarasota County - How To... - 4 answers

Deborah Dunnick answered:

A short sale occurs when the proceeds of a real estate sale fall short of the balance owed on the property.
In a short sale, the bank or mortgage lender agrees to discount a loan balance due to an economic or financial hardship on the part of the mortgagor. This negotiation is all done through communication with a bank's Loss mitigation department. The home owner/debtor sells the mortgaged property for less than the outstanding balance of the loan, and turns over the proceeds of the sale to the lender, sometimes (but not always) in full satisfaction of the debt. In such instances, the lender would have the right to approve or disapprove of a proposed sale. Most Short Sales leave a deficiency balance for which the Mortgagor / Borrower is still liable. In 99% of all cases it is not a settlement-in-full. A deficiency balance will remain while the mortgage broker, real estate agent / broker, loan officers, title and closing agents still remain getting their profit. And no regulatory agency governs this hybrid transaction.

Extenuating circumstances influence whether or not banks will discount a loan balance. These circumstances are usually related to the current real estate market climate and the individual borrower's financial situation.

A short sale typically is executed to prevent a home foreclosure. Often a bank will choose to allow a short sale if they believe that it will result in a smaller financial loss than foreclosing. For the home owner, the advantages include avoidance of having a foreclosure on their credit history and the partial control of the monetary deficiency. Additionally, a short sale is typically faster and less expensive than a foreclosure. In short, a short sale is nothing more than negotiating with lien holders a payoff for less than what they are owed, or rather a sale of a debt, generally on a piece of real estate, short of the full debt amount. It does not extinguish the remaining balance unless settlement is clearly indicated on the acceptance of offer.

I hope this helps. All my best,
