Let's discuss Short Sales

Many sellers have found that they owe more money on their property than it is worth. This is often referred to as being "upside down." Others are behind on mortgage payments because of creative financing terms ending or other issues. Of course others simply lost their jobs or face another financial hardship and can no longer afford their mortgage.

Whatever the reason may be, for many sellers, a "short sale" may be a viable solution. A short sale is when the lender agrees to accept a loan payoff that is less than the full amount due on the mortgage. It is true that this may adversely affect the credit score of the seller, but it is not as damaging to a person's credit as a foreclosure or bankruptcy.
