Don't know what a short sale is? A short sale happens when the amount of the outstanding loans are greater than the value of the home. Short sales are usually the result of home prices in an area rapidly declining.
For many homeowners, a short sale is an ideal way to prevent foreclosure or bankruptcy when they can get the lender to write off the difference.
How to do a short sale:
First, assess the true market value of your house. For those whose finances are already pushed to the limit, hiring a licensed appraiser may not be feasible. Therefore, a knowledgeable local Real estate agent that knows the current conditions of the real estate market is a sound way to get a reliable idea of your home's value.

Next, estimate your closing costs. The qualified real estate professionals at Blessing Care Way will consider fees such as title report, appraisal, escrow, property taxes, and agent commissions to tally your final costs at the closing table.
Finally, contact your lender and let them know of the situation. They may even have a special department that deals with short sales. Ask about their particular procedures. Some lenders will be more inclined to work with you than others. They may be able to lessen your loan principal or make other arrangements. Your lender will have to give approval for the final sale.
