Not enough equity to sell? There may still be a way out.

What a short sale can do

• Your lender may accept less than what's owed so the house can sell.
• In many short sales, the selling costs are paid out of the sale, so you bring little or nothing to closing.
• You pick the moving day, and you avoid a foreclosure on your record.
• Talking with Leslie is free. No upfront fee, ever.

Why it happens

With higher interest rates and a slower economy, homes are sitting on the market longer, and price cuts often follow. A sale that started with enough equity can end up not covering the loan and the costs of selling. That's a short sale, and Leslie has been handling them for over 20 years.
