step 1 of short sale

Many people find it hard to think about short selling their property objectively, and this is understandable as it has been where they resided or their “nest egg” for many years; however it becomes not only fiscally irresponsible to keep paying into bad debt, but also a hardship in itself.

Overall, our calculator aims to bring clarity to a very stressful and confusing time in your life. It is simply a tool to present unbiased numbers from which you can draw your own conclusions, and if you believe that it is in your best interest to get out of debt with the banks, we are here to help you with that as well.


Your location has been identified as a highly impacted area prequalifying you for relocation assistance.

An experienced real estate agent from JohnHart will help you decide the best course of action when determining your short sale. Our easy, no-cost process is designed to make it as stress-free as possible for you and your family. Why don't we charge any fees to the homeowner… because, we get paid by your lender.

While our agents are busy working with the lenders and banks, JohnHart's Marketing Specialists will come to your property to assist you with the selling process. There, we will take photos, videos and compile detailed specifications of your home.

What other calculators don’t take into consideration, which ours does

The fact that unless your mortgage(s) are interest only, you are paying down the balance on your loans, and will recover equity when the loans are paid off. (A good indication that another calculator is not considering this is an absurdly high years to recover equity number.)

By auto calculating your monthly payment, based on loan balance and interest rate, we can accurately arrive at what your payment is without all the hidden fees that come into play on mortgage statements. (Hidden fees would include inflators like late fees, non-sufficient funds fees, escrow shortage fees, and past payments missed.)

Another custom feature is the ability to enter the number of months behind you are on your mortgage(s). (This is important because what other calculators, and most people don’t know, is that even if the bank was to modify your mortgage, or offer any kind of agreement to reconcile your account, 99.9% percent of the time they are going to add these missed payments onto the outstanding balance of your mortgage. So while you think you are being helped with an interest rate reduction, or some other tool the bank has employed, your loan has actually just grown from what you originally signed for.)

Finally, our calculator figures out what you have paid from the origination of loan until now, and takes that principal amount into account when figuring out the savings, or lack thereof, you will incur by selling.
