What is a short sale?

A short sale, also called short pay, is a regular sale transaction, other then that the lender agrees to receive a lower amount of a owned debt in exchanged for the sale of the property to a third party. Short sale is usually at no cost to the borrower and may help you prevent the downgrading of your credit score or providing you a fresh start.

Many lenders will agree to accept the proceeds of a short sale and forgive the rest of what is owed on the mortgage when the owner cannot make the mortgage payments. By accepting a short sale, the lender can avoid a lengthy and costly foreclosure, and the owner is able to pay off the loan for less than what he owes.
