Instructions:
- Confirm the value of your property. If you are dealing the property by a real estate broker, your broker will provide you with an approximation of market value. If you are selling the property yourself, then you will have to do your own market research and analysis of the area and your property.
- Sum up the entire costs of selling the property. If you hiring a real estate broker, then the broker will give you an estimate of closing costs. If you are dealing with it on your own(sale by owner) then call a “title company” or “real estate attorney” and take every detail of the closing cost and selling property.

- Get in touch with the lender or lenders. Contact someone from the consumer service department and tell them your problem. They will guide you to a particular department. You can also talk to the manager or supervisor if you can. Managers hold more authority than any other officer, they can help you.

Tips & Warnings
- Closing costs includes titles such as escrow fees, attorney fees, unpaid property taxes, re-conveyance fees, notary fees, delivery fees, documentary fees and/or transfer fees.
- If you will sell your property without hiring any real estate broker then you will save the amount of commission and can have more to concern toward paying off the loan.
- If you want to sell your property through broker, then you can use a discount broker to market your property. You can also negotiate the sale commissions with your broker.
- The amount on your monthly “loan statement” does not comprise interest. Interest is ensued until the date a loan is paid off, so you can have a month interest on top of the balance owing, and you will have to include this loan interest in the total payoff amount.
- The short sale usually gets involved with the “IRS”, as they are considered as a sign relief of money owing and can be treated as income.
