What You Need to Know About Short Sales


Short sales in real estate is a arduous process both for all parties involved, especially the home owner. In simplest terms, a short sale is when the homeowner falls short and no longer is able to make payments on the  liens against the property. So, the lien holders, often times a bank, will release the lien on the real estate property and allow the property to be sold at less than what was owed.

Banks have the right to grant a homeowner the option of a short sale if they deem it beneficial to them. Otherwise, the homeowner may find him or herself in a foreclosure situation. 

Generally speaking, for a short sale strategy to work, the following must be present: 


  • An underwater home
  • A willing short sale bank
  • A seller with a hardship
  • A buyer willing to purchase the home
