The Misconception of "Distressed"
Traditionally, when people hear "distressed property," they picture a home in terrible physical condition—boarded up windows, overgrown lawns, and major structural issues. However, the reality of today's real estate market is vastly different.
Most short sale properties are not physically distressed. They are simply financially distressed. The home itself is often in excellent condition, well-maintained by homeowners who simply found themselves upside down on their mortgage due to market shifts or unexpected life events.
The Traditional Approach
Many agents treat short sales like physically distressed properties, marketing them to low-balling investors and flippers. This approach harms the seller's financial outcome and slows down bank approvals.
