Short Sale
What is a Real Estate Short Sale?
In Real Estate, a short sale is when a lender agrees to discount a loan balance due to an economic or financial hardship of the borrower. Essentially, the borrower sells the mortgaged property for less than the outstanding balance of the loan and turns over all proceeds of the sale to the lender. Similarly, a Short Refinance option exists whereby a lender will reduce the principle balance of a mortgage to permit the homeowner to refinance with a new lender. Sometime, but not always, a short sale can satisfy the borrower’s obligation to the lender. The negotiation is handled by a lender’s loss mitigation department and is one of many loan modification options afforded to a borrower.Why Do Borrowers Use Short Sales? A short sale is a loss mitigation option used to prevent foreclosure. A lender will allow a short sale as a way to lessen the risk and expense of foreclosure. The benefit to a borrower is that a Short Sale is often executed much faster than foreclosure. Plus, the borrower can avoid having a foreclosure on their credit history.Is a Short Sale the Right Solution For Me?
