What you need to know about Short Sales

A short payoff sale, commonly shortened to Short Sale, is generally defined by loan loss mitigation professionals as "A sale in which a lender allows the property securing a mortgage or deed of trust loan to be sold for less than the existing loan balance, due to factors such as the borrower's financial circumstances, the property's physical condition, and local real estate market conditions."

A "short payoff sale" occurs when your lender agrees to accept less than the total owed in exchange for a release of the mortgage as a lien on the property. Other terms for a short payoff include short sale, pre-foreclosure sale, or pre-sale.

You must apply for a short payoff if the sale of your house will not leave enough money to pay off all the mortgages, liens, back payments, and sales commissions on your property.
