Short Sales in Brevard County
Due to the drastic downturn in property value over the past couple of years in Brevard County, there are a large number of short sales listed for sale. Not all listing agents have done their homework to be sure a listing will be considered by the bank/lender for a short sale. Be warned! These sales often fail to close because:

The bank/lender is not convinced of the seller s hardship and the seller actually has assets to bridge the gap on the loss.
The seller is foreclosed upon during the long wait for the bank/lender s acceptance of an offer.
The buyer moves on to another property rather than wait indefinitely for an agreement to be finalized.
The value of the property has dropped even more by the time the property is ready to close.
