If you are experiencing financial difficulties, sometimes filing for bankruptcy is the solution that may best fit your situation. Before you feel like all hope is lost due to financial issues or a pile of debt, get some advice from some local attorneys on how you can get a fresh start. Filing for bankruptcy may or may not be the best solution for you.
What does bankruptcy have to do with real estate?
During the bankruptcy process, a home could possibly need to be sold, but not always. Speaking to an experienced attorney can help you determine if it is in your best interest to sell your home. If you need to sell, an seasoned agent such as Aimee Ness can step up to help. With sensitivity to the situation, she can get your home on the market and negotiate the best possible deal for you.
Experience With Bankruptcy Sales
Having an experienced agent on your side is important when selling a home due to bankruptcy. Not only being able to price the home properly, and setting realistic expectations, but actually being able to negotiate a timely sale is key. Due to the home needing court approval to accept an offer means adding timeframes to offers that will keep contracts in place. Having an agent who knows the ins and outs of these documents will ensure a more timely sale, with fewer setbacks.
Communication During A Bankruptcy Sale
Bankruptcy real estate sales have many moving parts and communication is of the utmost importance to get a sale to the closing table. Communication with attorneys, sellers and other third parties, such as lenders and other agents will need to be continuous to keep everything on track for the seller. The Aimee Ness Realty Group has systems in place to make sure no ball is ever dropped and to keep the sale moving forward. We can be sure all status updates, offers and other information is relayed appropriately.
Documentation For A Bankruptcy Sale
As you can imagine additional documentation is needed for the sale of a home involved in bankruptcy. Aimee Ness has a system in place to make sure all documents are filed properly and never lost. This system also allows for electronic signatures to facilitate the signing of documents and the sharing of documents with appropriate parties in a timely manner.
The home is for sale, now what?
Once all the documents have been signed by the appropriate people the home is ready to be on the market. At this point the public has access to the information and photos of your home. It is important to keep your home in “show ready” condition as best as possible. However, this is your home, and you live there and people understand. If the home is empty, Aimee Ness can give you some pointers about how to stage the rooms to highlight the property’s features.
