I'll be selling my Kansas City home as a short sale. I heard that the lender will pay for moving expenses. Is that true?

Great question. Will the lender pay for moving expenses when selling my home as a short sale?

I have found that the lender will NOT automatically agree to moving expenses. Sometimes it depends on what is owed and how much of a loss the lender will be taking. Some lenders will never pay for moving expenses nor gain financially from the sale.

In other cases, some lenders are extremely easy to work with and have setup many programs to help underwater sellers.

There is a good chance that the REALTOR can negotiate moving expenses if the short sale is negotiated early in the process and the home is in very good condition. 

I have found that when the lender will pay some part of the moving expenses, the sale goes a lot smoother.
