Option 2: Short Sale
Short Sale Option
Short sale offers you the opportunity to sell your home and to eliminate, or reduce, your existing mortgage obligation. You will find a summary of the short sale option outlined below.
What Is A Short Sale?
- It is the sale of a home for less than the amount outstanding, currently remaining, on your mortgage.
- A short sale is also called a pre-foreclosure sale.
Your mortgage company must agree to a short sale. If it does, you can sell your home and pay off all, or a portion, of your outstanding balance with the sale proceeds.
Here are your benefits!
- You can eliminate, or reduce, outstanding mortgage debt.
- You will repair your credit sooner as compared to a foreclosure.
- You may be able to qualify for another mortgage sooner, around 2 years, as compared to 7 if you went through the foreclosure process. (Fannie Mae as an example)
- You may qualify for relocation assistance. (http://www.makinghomeaffordable.gov)

- You are ineligible to modify or refinance your existing mortgage.
- You are behind on your mortgage payments.
- You owe more than your home is currently worth.
- You are experiencing hardship due to your present circumstances.
