Need help understanding a short sale vs foreclosure? Ask Mary, she's the expert!

In today's residential real estate market too many homeowners are unfortunately struggling with their mortgage payments and possibly facing the loss of their homes due to foreclosure. However, for many, there’s an alternative solution to this distasteful event and that solution is called a “SHORT SALE”. This is a term, until recently, rarely used in the lending community.  Sadly, not enough  homeowners are aware of it’s existence or definition. A short sale, simply stated, is where the lender agrees to allow the property to be sold for less than the loan against it, rather than forcing the property into foreclosure.

There are advantages to this alternative for both the homeowner and the lender. In the case of the homeowner, a short sale does not completely destroy the borrower’s credit for many years. It will affect it in a negative way but this can be repaired. As for the lender, the property doesn’t sit vacant for many months  allowing it to be vandalized etc. and the costs to the lender are greatly reduced.
