Our Process

Short Sale Processing From File Setup Through Closing

Need help with short sale processing and short sale coordination? We organize the package, negotiate with lenders, and keep you updated. Approval and closing timing depend on the lender and the individual file. Submit your file, explore short sale negotiation support, or choose guidance for real estate agents and homeowners.

Documented short sale file results

See how specific files moved forward, and which outcomes the records support.

  • Longview, WA: updated offer and settlement documents were followed by written approval from the first mortgage lender.
  • South Daytona, FL: the revised offer received written approval from the first mortgage lender. After revised settlement review, the lender issued written clear to close.
  • Gig Harbor, WA: the file received written foreclosure postponement, then first mortgage lender approval and conditional clear to close. Those were separate decisions.

These cases do not establish that the sales funded or recorded. Results depend on the individual file and its written conditions. A pending short sale is not confirmation that foreclosure has stopped.

As your short sale processor, we provide short sale support through a dedicated short sale transaction manager. Crisp's coordination service fee is paid by the buyer at closing, not by the agent or seller. Other transaction costs and any lender required contribution are separate.
