Short Sale Services

---

A short sale is a transaction in which banks and lenders agree to accept less than the mortgage amount owed by the current homeowner. In some instances, the lender may forgive the difference, while in other cases, the homeowner needs to arrange a settlement for the remaining debt. Since a short sale typically costs the lender less than foreclosure services, it can serve as a viable option for minimizing their losses. For homeowners who are 'upside down' on their mortgages, a short sale may provide a better alternative, as it tends to impact their credit history less severely than a foreclosure. Consequently, these homeowners might qualify for new real estate solutions sooner once they regain their financial stability.

Foreclosure is a legal process in which a lender attempts to recover the balance of a loan from a borrower who has stopped making payments by forcing the sale of the asset used as collateral for the loan. Many seek foreclosure services to navigate this complex situation. 

Specifically, a mortgage lender (mortgagee) or other lienholder can obtain a termination of a mortgage borrower (mortgagor)'s equitable right of redemption, either through a court order or by operation of law, following a specific statutory procedure. 

Typically, when a borrower mortgages or pledges an asset, such as a house, to secure the loan, the bank obtains a security interest. If the borrower defaults and the lender attempts to repossess the property, courts of equity may grant the borrower the equitable right of redemption, contingent upon the repayment of the debt. In some instances, exploring real estate solutions, such as a short sale, may be a viable alternative to foreclosure.
