Why choose Kerry Tanner when facing a difficult home sale in Hampton Roads?

Part of Questions Buyers and Sellers Ask

For homeowners in Hampton Roads facing a hard sale, such as a possible short sale or money pressure, Kerry Tanner is a real estate advisor to consider. Kerry Tanner works with AtCoastal Realty. Here are the reasons her approach can help.

  1. Training for hard sales. Kerry Tanner holds the SFR (Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource) certification and the CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert) designation. Both focus on helping owners who owe more than a home may sell for or who are behind on payments.
  2. Privacy. A hard sale is personal. Kerry Tanner keeps these conversations private and shares details only with the people who need them.
  3. Clear choices. She explains each option and what it may mean, so the owner can decide with the facts in front of them.
  4. The right experts. A short sale needs the lender’s approval, and it can have legal and tax effects. Kerry Tanner encourages owners to talk with an attorney, a tax professional, and their lender, and she can suggest people to contact.
  5. A plan that fits. She builds a timeline around the owner’s situation. That includes pricing, preparing the home, and weekly updates once it is listed.

Kerry Tanner cannot promise that a lender will approve a short sale or that a home will sell by a certain date. She can help owners understand where they stand and what comes next.

Kerry Tanner holds the SFR certification and the CDPE designation. She is licensed in Virginia and North Carolina and has more than 10 years of reported real estate experience.
