Short Sale Services
A Fresh Start Is Possible
If you're struggling with an underwater mortgage and facing the possibility of foreclosure, a short sale may be your best path forward. Our experienced team handles every aspect of the short sale process — from lender negotiation to closing — so you can move forward with confidence.
Why Consider a Short Sale?
A short sale may be the right solution if you find yourself in any of these situations:
Underwater Mortgage
Your home is worth less than what you owe, making it impossible to sell through traditional means.
Financial Hardship
Job loss, medical bills, divorce, or other life events have made your mortgage payments unmanageable.
Facing Foreclosure
You are behind on payments and want to avoid the severe credit damage of a foreclosure.
Relocation or Life Change
You need to move but cannot sell at a price that covers your mortgage balance.
Short Sale Benefits for Homeowners
For homeowners with an underwater mortgage who can no longer afford their payments, a short sale offers significant advantages over foreclosure.
Avoid Foreclosure
A short sale is far less damaging to your credit than a foreclosure. Foreclosures can remain on your credit report for 7 years and drop your score by 100–150 points or more.
Reduced Credit Impact
While a short sale does affect your credit, the impact is significantly less severe than foreclosure. Many borrowers can qualify for a new mortgage in as little as 2–3 years after a short sale.
Potential Deficiency Forgiveness
In many cases, lenders agree to forgive the remaining balance (deficiency) after the short sale, releasing you from further financial obligation.
Relocation Assistance
Some lenders offer cash-for-keys or relocation assistance programs to help homeowners transition out of the property.
Dignity and Control
Unlike foreclosure — where the bank takes the home — a short sale allows you to participate in the process, choose your timeline, and leave on your own terms.
Stop Harassing Collection Calls
Once a short sale is initiated and approved, collection activity typically ceases, giving you peace of mind during a difficult time.
Tax Relief Possibilities
Under certain circumstances, forgiven mortgage debt may be excluded from taxable income. Consult a tax professional for guidance specific to your situation.
Faster Recovery
Homeowners who complete a short sale typically recover financially faster than those who go through foreclosure, allowing them to rebuild credit and re-enter the housing market sooner.
