Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of ShortSaleGuide.com (the "Site"), operated by Short Sale Guide, LLC, a licensed Florida real estate brokerage (License CQ1066900), located at 700 NW 7th Drive, Boca Raton, FL 33486 ("we," "us"). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Informational purpose only — no advice

Everything on this Site — including The Short Sale Guide, the Short Sale Toolkit, and the file checker tool — is general educational information about the real estate process. It is not legal, tax, financial, or credit advice, and it is not advice about your specific situation. Short sales have serious legal, tax, and credit consequences. Always consult a licensed attorney and a tax professional before making decisions, and rely on your mortgage servicer's written instructions, which control over anything on this Site.

2. No client or agency relationship

Using the Site, downloading materials, joining the email list, or using the file checker does not create an agency, brokerage, attorney-client, or fiduciary relationship between you and Short Sale Guide, LLC or any of its licensees. A brokerage relationship is created only by a separately signed written agreement.

3. The file checker

The file checker is an automated informational tool that maps your answers to publicly documented program requirements. Its output is a general starting checklist, not a determination of eligibility. Lenders, servicers, investors, and mortgage insurers make their own decisions and may require items not listed, decline complete files, or change requirements at any time. We make no guarantee that any short sale will be approved.

4. Program rules change

References to program rules (for example Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA, or USDA requirements) reflect published guidance as of the date stated in the material. Programs change without notice. Verify current requirements directly with your servicer or the relevant agency.

5. Intellectual property

The Site and its content — including The Short Sale Guide (2026 Edition), the Short Sale Toolkit, and the file checker — are © 2026 Short Sale Guide, LLC. All rights reserved. You may not reproduce, distribute, republish, or create derivative works from this content without prior written permission, except that brief quotations with clear attribution and a link to the Site are permitted.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to misuse the Site, including by scraping content at scale, attempting to disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the Site, or using the content to train commercial products without written permission.

7. Third-party links

The Site links to third-party resources (for example government and agency websites). We are not responsible for their content, availability, or policies.

8. Disclaimer of warranties; limitation of liability

The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Short Sale Guide, LLC and its members, officers, and licensees will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, or for decisions made in reliance on Site content. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

9. Fair housing

We support and comply with the federal Fair Housing Act and Equal Housing Opportunity principles.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict of law rules. Venue for any dispute lies in the state or federal courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida.

11. Changes and contact

We may update these Terms from time to time; the effective date above reflects the latest version. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated Terms. Questions: info@shortsaleguide.com.
