I NEED TO SELL MY HOME! WHAT IS A SHORT SALE?
A short sale is a real estate process whereby the homeowner can avoid having to weather the foreclosure process. Essentially, it is an agreed arrangement where your lender is willing to absorb a loss rather than subjecting themselves and you to all of the downsides of foreclosure. Obviously, much depends upon the difference between the “short” sale price and the balance owed. Often however, it works out to be the best arrangement for both parties.
