What is a Short Sale?

A short sale occurs when a borrower has a property that is underwater and is allowed to sell the home for less than what they owe on their mortgage. The bank forgives the remaining debt on the loan. It is mutually beneficial for the borrower and the lender.

How do I know if I qualify for a short sale?

A short sale process will typically be done on a property which is going into the foreclosure stage. This means the homeowner is at least three payments behind and the foreclosure suit has been field by one or more mortgage lenders. This doesn’t mean you have to wait for this to occur. If you are behind or in default on your mortgage you are a potential candidate for a short sale process.  A short sale is when the lender is accepting a payment short of the original amount.
