Short Sale Specialists

What Is a Short Sale?

A short sale occurs when a homeowner sells their property for less than the amount owed on their mortgage, with the lender’s approval. It’s often used as an alternative to foreclosure when a homeowner is facing financial hardship — job loss, medical bills, divorce, or simply owing more than the home is worth.

While a short sale is challenging, it is far better for your credit and your financial future than a foreclosure. It also allows you to remain in control of the sale process, choose your buyer, and negotiate with dignity — rather than having a bank take over your home.
