I Haven’t Missed Any Payments — Can I Apply for A Short Sale?
As a Santa Maria Short Sale Agent, I am asked this question by potential short sale sellers all the time. It is important for those inquiring to understand that even though they have not missed any payments, they may have an “imminent hardship” that would qualify them for a short sale. Imminent hardship means that your hardship may not be here today, but it is definitely on the horizon. And you do not have to currently be in default on your payments to apply for a short sale. A well documented imminent hardship may be enough.
