Why Consider a Short Sale?

If you’re behind on your mortgage, owe more than your home’s value, or find yourself in a prolonged hardship, a short sale could be your best option. It offers a dignified exit where you can:

Eliminate or reduce mortgage debt. Free yourself from payments you can’t sustain.

Avoid foreclosure. Sidestep the long-term credit impact and start rebuilding sooner.

Relocation assistance. Some programs provide financial help for moving.

Buy again sooner. In many cases, you may qualify for a new mortgage in as little as two years.
