Here are few benefits for doing a Short Sale: 
- You are in control of the sale, bank just needs to approve it.
- You know who is buying your home.
- You will be away from the social stigma; foreclosure.
- Your home sale will be handled like any other home sale.
- The seller exits the mortgage liability without facing bankruptcy.
- The buyer gets the home at a reduced price.
- The lender accepts to a loss it considers minimal without going through a foreclosure.
Not every lender will negotiate a short sale specially in San Diego. That is why you need an experienced short sale Realtor who can contact both the lender and the bank and initiate the process.
With my wide experience in the field and proven success record, I will help you get your short sale files organized and accelerate the process.
I have successfully closed many short sales where others have failed during the initial process. My experience is pushing the paperwork to the bank along with making a relationship with the asset manager. This can be of great benefit and value in getting the acceptance. Also keeping the buyer from walking away due to the length of time that is needed is of most important. All of this and more I can do for you.
Client testimonial’s.
Dan Rubenstein was our realtor in purchasing our home that was a short sale. We all sat by while the seller and bank negotiators painstakingly went back and forth with little progress. They wouldn’t let Dan help and this home we loved was going to go into foreclosure and we would lose it. Dan, asked if they would please let him make one more try negotiating with the banks. Dan took over and closed the deal and we are in our dream home. Dan was a great realtor for us. Caroline P. University City 92122
Dan Rubenstein helped save my home from going into foreclosure by successfully doing a short sale. By providing the bank with all the correct paperwork the first time. Dan got approval from the bank to sell my home fast. Unfortunately the first buyer walked so Dan had to find another buyer fast. This happened 4 times !! and every time Dan was able to find another buyer. Finally we closed escrow. Thanks to Dan Rubenstein short sale experience, negotiating skills and tenacity we have closure. I would recommend to anyone that is having a hardship or behind in their payments to contact Dan. He will get it done for you. Denny v Solana Beach 92075
