Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to be underwater on a mortgage?
Being underwater means you owe more on your mortgage than the property is currently worth. For example, if you owe $250,000 but the home is worth $200,000, you have $50,000 in negative equity.
Can I sell my house if I owe more than it is worth in Las Vegas?
Yes, through a short sale. Your lender agrees to accept less than the full mortgage balance. EasyOffer handles all lender negotiations to get the short sale approved.
Will I owe the difference if I sell an underwater house?
In many cases, the lender waives the remaining balance (called the deficiency). We negotiate for a full release of the deficiency so you do not carry the debt after selling.
How do I know if my Las Vegas house is underwater?
Compare your current mortgage balance (from your most recent statement) to your home's estimated market value. If the balance is higher, you are underwater. We provide a free evaluation to help you assess your situation.
Is it better to wait for values to recover or sell now?
This depends on your financial situation. If you can afford the payments and want to wait, that is an option. But if the payments are straining your budget, selling now prevents further financial damage.
What are the tax implications of selling an underwater home?
Forgiven debt may be considered taxable income by the IRS, but there are exceptions including the Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
