			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Count on our team of short sale experts in the Chicago and Suburbs area. If you are looking to purchase or sell, we have the ability to help and have access to hundreds of Chicago short sale deals.</p>
<p>Real estate short sales occur when a lender, mortgage company, bank, lien-holders and/or other third parties agree to discount the amount of money due. The home is then sold for less than the outstanding balance on the loan. Banks agree to these deals to prevent foreclosure. Our team has the ability to process your short sale successfully whether you have never missed a payment or you have missed many payments. The sooner you contact us, the better. There are many details that are not covered on this page. Search all Chicago Homes and Condos Listed for Sale, Short Sale, Pre Foreclosure, REO, Bank, Lender, BPO, Houses, MLS, contact us today, shortsale@straubhomes.com or 312.730.8719.<a href="about-straub-group/zach-shepard"><img class="size-full wp-image-176 aligncenter" title="Windy City Short Sales" src="http://straubhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Windy-City-Short-Sales.jpg"  alt="Windy City Short Sales" width="312" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>Windy City Short Sales is Chicagoland&#8217;s Premier Short Sale Negotiation Company. Our distressed property experts provide a turnkey approach to managing the entire short sale process for both homeowners and real estate professionals. WCSS will manage the following processes necessary to complete a short sale:</p>
<p>- Preparing the short sale application and hardship letter<br />
- Submitting the short sale and handling all subsequent follow-up<br />
- Setting up, paying for and attending all inspections, BPOs, appraisals, and repair estimates &#8211; Negotiating with the lender<br />
- Securing the lowest, most-discounted sale price possible so the property becomes an attractive, competitive, sellable asset on the real estate market.</p>
<p>We handle everything from the point of identification of a distressed property listing to preparing the HUD 1 on behalf of the lender in the case that the short sale is approved. And in some cases, our sister company New Perspective Group LLC, which is a Real Estate investment, management and development company focused on changing distressed properties in to profitable Real Estate investments, can actually facilitate the purchase of the property by an investor.</p>
<p>Bottom line is: You list it, We short it, YOU close it!</p>
