Does a quick sale have to be approved by the mortgage company?

I would recommend reaching out to your mortgage company to see if this is an option within your loan. The challenge will be that they will need to qualify for the loan. You do not want to simply have them make payments, because you are still responsible for the mortgage. Also, talk to a local real estate closing attorney to help facilitate the details and be sure it is done legally, or it will come back with repercussions that will not be good!

I recommend reaching out to your mortgage company and ask them what the options available to you would be. If they would allow them to assume your note they would need to be approved. Please note that does not cover any additional costs that would allow you to make a profit on your home. If they were going to pay additional costs to the current loan that would still be a separate loan or cash payment. Please also ensure all your paperwork is legally documented. I would recommend speaking to a real estate attorney or real estate agent that specializes in short sales.
