Short Sales, Foreclosures, and What Homeowners Need to Know with Crystal Golm
What happens when a homeowner owes more on their mortgage than their home is worth? What are the options if making the mortgage payment becomes difficult? And how does foreclosure really work in Florida?
In this episode of Jim Sells the Suncoast, I sit down with real estate attorney Crystal Golm of Golm Law to break down the often misunderstood world of short sales, foreclosures, loan modifications, and distressed properties. Crystal explains these complex topics in plain English and shares practical advice for homeowners who may be facing financial challenges.
We discuss the differences between short sales and foreclosures, how lenders typically respond when payments are missed, the importance of communicating with your bank early, and why sticking your head in the sand can make a difficult situation much worse. Crystal also explains deficiency judgments, credit impacts, tax considerations, foreclosure auctions, and common mistakes investors make when purchasing distressed properties.
Whether you're a homeowner concerned about rising costs, a buyer considering foreclosure opportunities, or simply want to better understand today's market, this episode provides valuable insight into a topic that is becoming increasingly relevant across Florida.
Key Takeaways:
- What a short sale actually is
- How foreclosure works in Florida

- How missed mortgage payments affect credit
