Hollister CA –Who Is Responsible For The Difference Between Short Sale Price And Loan Balance?
Did you get your bank to agree to a short sale? Did you find a buyer? Has all the paperwork processed?
Congratulations. You're in the clear. And to prove it, your bank should have given you a letter of "Full Release" clearing you of responsibility for the difference between the balance of the loan and the short sale price. Really, that letter is the whole point of the short sale -- to remove you from responsibility of that debt. If you don't get that letter, then something's not right with the transaction. Either someone's trying to pull a fast one past you or someone missed a step in their check list.
The bottom line is that in a short sale, when all is said and done, you should get that "Full Release" letter from the bank. And with that letter, you're clear of the balance and you can go about your life. Of course, there are other ramifications to deal with (such as tax consequences), but the biggest hurdle should be overcome.
