What is a Short Sale?
A short sale is a real estate transaction in which the sales price is insufficient to pay the debt(s) and obligations encumbering the property along with the costs of sale, AND the seller is unable to pay the difference. Every short sale is dependent upon the seller's lender(s) consenting to the transaction and agreeing to release the property as their security interest in exchange for less than what is owed.
Recent economic challenges have resulted in many homeowners needing to sell their home but owning more than their home is worth.
