Understanding Short Sales

As foreclosure rates hit record levels, more sellers are turning to short sales as a way to avoid foreclosure. So, how does it work? First, you must hire a Realtor that is experienced in closing short sales. In a short sale, the seller arranges with their mortgage lender to accept a price that's less than the amount they owe on the property. As part of this arrangement, the lender typically agrees to forgive the rest of the loan. As a result, the seller doesn't have to go though a foreclosure, the buyer picks up a property at a discount, and the lender avoids taking on the burden of unloading the property.

What is a Short Sale?

What is a short sale? A short sale is a sales transaction in which the seller's mortgage lender agrees to accept a payoff of less than the balance due on the loan.
