1. “Short Sale” Designation. A “Short Sale” refers to a transaction in which the amount of loans and
other monetary obligations encumbering a property, combined with brokerage commissions and other
expected costs of and relating to sale, exceed its current fair market value. Buyer and Seller have been
apprised that the listed Property may be subject to a Short Sale and that, in order to close escrow
and deliver title, Seller may be required to:
a. Deposit additional funds (beyond anticipated proceeds of sale) with the Escrow Holder; or
b. Secure from Seller’s lenders a reduction of the amount demanded for pay-off of loans secured by the
Property.
2. “Short Sale” Contingency; Adjustment of Contract Time Periods. This Contract is contingent on
Seller’s obtaining from Seller’s lenders and/or other lien holders written commitments to reduce their
respective pay-off demands to an extent and in an amount sufficient to assure that sale proceeds will
adequately satisfy loan payoff demands, liens, property taxes, escrow fees, brokerage fees, escrow fees
and such other fees and charges provided for under the Contract or otherwise imposed by statute. Seller
shall have until ____________ (date) (or __________) days from Acceptance within which to remove
this contingency. If by such time Seller shall not have removed this contingency in writing, either Buyer or
Seller shall be entitled to cancel this Contract and Buyer shall thereupon be entitled to the return of
Buyer’s deposit. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, time periods applicable to Buyer’s performance
(e.g., including any Buyer’s deposits, inspections, removal of Buyer contingencies, etc.) shall
commence upon delivery by Seller of a written removal of this Short Sale contingency.
3. Uncertainty of Lender/Lien holder Accommodations. Seller understands that, even in anticipation of
a Short Sale situation, lenders and other lien holders are under no legal obligation to reduce their pay-off
demands. Additionally, the lenders and lien holders involved may impose charges or restrictions that
render a hoped-for Short Sale solution impossible, impracticable or unworkable. Consequently, it is
possible that Seller (or, as the case may be, the Listing Agent) may not be successful in obtaining pay-off
reductions in an amount sufficient to achieve sale and transfer of the title of the Property.
4. Tax, Credit and Other Consequences; Financial and Legal Advice. There may be significant tax and
other financial consequences to borrowers where the lender has agreed to reduce its pay-off demand in
favor of the borrower. Moreover, a borrower’s credit rating may be negatively affected by a Short Sale. It
is recommended that, prior to entering into a Short Sale, Seller confer with financial, tax and legal
advisors regarding Short Sale and its alternatives, including but not limited to, refinancing, renegotiation
of loan terms, bankruptcy, forbearance, foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
