SB 458 Signed Into Law
Great news! Gov. Jerry Brown signed SB 458, which extends the protections of SB 931, to ensure that any lender that agrees to a short sale must accept the agreed upon short sale payment as payment in full of the outstanding balance of all loans. As always, we urge you to seek a legal advisor (attorney) and financial advisor (CPA).
