A sale that needs the lender’s approval.
In a short sale, the property is sold for less than the total amount owed and the mortgage holder must approve the transaction. Approval is not automatic, and the lender—not the agent—decides whether the proposed terms are acceptable.
Our role is to organize the real estate process: understand the situation, market the property, support a complete package, communicate clearly and keep the transaction moving toward a documented decision.
