Santa Ana Short Sale FAQ

Do I need a short sale Realtor to list my Santa Ana home?

A short sale is listed on the MLS like any other home, but every lender and lienholder also has to approve the sale. We start by comparing the value of your home with everything owed against it, including the first mortgage, a second mortgage, HOA liens and other liens. If the total is higher than the value, we list the home and negotiate with each lender. Call or text 949-430-7500 to talk it through.

Are there short sale homes for sale in Santa Ana?

Sometimes. Short sales are a small part of the Orange County market, and the number in Santa Ana changes from week to week. The list on this page comes directly from the MLS and updates every 5 minutes.
