Buyers and sellers want to know who pays the closing costs in a short sale? As a buyer you want to ask your agent this question before you write an offer. The best time to ask it is during your first meeting. In a short sale all terms, conditions and closing costs are subject to lender approval. Sounds pretty vague, right?

In California, lenders who intend to foreclose on a property when the loan is delinquent typically use the nonjudicial foreclosure process also known as a trustee’s sale. This process is less expensive for the lender than the judicial foreclosure process. A nonjudicial foreclosure doesn’t require a court proceeding and, thus, is a more expeditious process. From here on, whenever the term “foreclosure” is used, it is referring to a trustee’s sale. (This includes Santa Monica)
With foreclosures being so prevalent and with so many homeowners being at risk of losing their homes to foreclosure, we need to be able to assess whether we have sufficient time to market the property and close escrow before the property is lost to foreclosure. Therefore, this article provides a foreclosure timeline to assist us in their assessment of the time remaining before a possible foreclosure occurs.

During the conversation, the lender must inform the borrower of the right to meet with the lender within 14 days. The lender must also give the borrower the toll-free number for finding a HUD-certified housing counseling agency.Note: In the 2010 case, Mabry v.
