Phoenix Short Sale Expert offers an alternative to Foreclosure

PR Log (Press Release) – Aug 24, 2009 – A short sale is when  the proceeds from a sale is less than the balance owed to the bank(s).

With a short sale, the bank must (or mortgage holder) agree to discount the loan balance, due to a financial hardship on the part of the home owner. This negotiation is all done right through the loss mitigation or workout department of the bank.  If the bank agrees, the debtor can sell the home for less than the outstanding balance of the loan, and turns over the proceeds of the sale to the lender.  Many times the bank will accept the partial payoff, and show on your credit report that the loan is satisfied and paid off.

The extenuating conditions of the debtor or the real estate market, directly influence whether or not banks will discount a loan balance.
