If you are interested in purchasing a Wellington FL short sale there are several pitfalls that can come up along the way.  However pitfalls can also come up if you are purchasing a bank owned home or traditional sale (home with equity), the risk varies.
Here are the top 5 Wellington FL short sale pitfalls that I have experienced over the last several years:
TIME: Wellington FL short sales can take a long time to be approved, but they can also be denied, there is NO guarantee when it comes to short sales.- DEFERRED MAINTENANCE: Some Wellington FL short sale sellers abandon their home when they can no longer afford it and some will no longer maintain it.
- BEING SOLD “AS-ISâ€: Most Wellington FL short sales will be sold as-is, which means the seller is going to make zero repairs regardless of the inspection report.
- TITLE ISSUES: Title issues can create problems along the way and can possibly delay closing.
- MISSING ITEMS: Sometimes on the day of closing you may notice some items are no longer there. Example; appliances, light fixtures, window treatments and hardware.
If you are considering purchasing a Wellington FL short sale I highly recommend hiring a Wellington FL short sale agent who can guide you through the entire process from start to finish.
