  • Are you having difficulty paying your mortgage or months behind?
  • Are you in the foreclosure process?
  • Do you want to avoid your home being foreclosed on?

If you answered yes, a short sale may be a good option for you. A short sale is the sale of real property in which the seller’s mortgage lender agrees to accept a payoff that is less than the balance due on the loan. Typically, a homeowner would perform a short sale on their home in order to avoid the foreclosure process. Short sales may be beneficial to all parties involved, as the seller is relieved of a home they can no longer afford and the lender avoids a lengthy and costly foreclosure process. The lender and the homeowner must come to an agreement regarding holding a short sale on the home. Ultimately, the lender must allow the short sale to occur. Short sales normally result in a significantly discounted purchase price for the new buyer of the home. The homeowner may also receive relocation fees from the lender as well, as part of the short sale process.
