So you have determined that you owe more on your Kansas City home than it is worth and you need to sell because you cannot afford your home any longer.  You decide to short sale your Kansas City Home. 

There are some tips that I would like to share with you based on my experience in assisting a number of Kansas City homeowners short sale their homes.  Without each, your chances of a successful short sale of your Kansas City home will be diminished. 

This post is as to Tip 1 which seems really simple to answer.  But, unless you are absolutely certain of the answer to this, you will leave yourself open for an easy denial of your request for a short of your Kansas City home.

• TIP 1:  WHO DO YOU OWE ?  Anyone who has a lien or mortgage on your home must approve of your request for a short sale.  You might be surprised to learn that includes first, second, third mortgage holders, lines of credit, contractors and  any other entities or individuals that have placed liens on your home. 

As an agent for my short sale clients, this is a key starting point that I research.  Don't get caught at the end realizing that you failed to make a request for your short sale approval from all lien holders and now you cannot sell your Kansas City home via a short sale to a prospective buyer.
