Escrow Services For Short Sales
Short sale real estate transactions occur when the sale price is less than the balance owed on the property mortgage. The Lender determines if the property can be sold for less than the amount owed by the Borrower. Homeowners will damage their credit, but far less than a foreclosure. The Lender benefits by avoiding a costly, time-consuming foreclosure process.
