What is a short sale? Is it the right choice for me?

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. There are many variables and possible outcomes of a short sale transaction. One of the primary benefits of a short sale versus a foreclosure, is that in the instance of a professionally negotiated short sale, the damage to the seller's credit is often minimized.

Homeowners can benefit from completing a short sale in the following ways:

• Be completely freed from an unsustainable mortgage payment
• Rebuild credit more quickly
• Qualify for a new mortgage sooner
• Avoid foreclosure
• Tax exemptions (consult tax attorney)

Here are some reliable resources which will answer many of your questions on the short sale process:
