If your financial situation finds you facing foreclosure, there is an option for you to save your credit.
You can even sell your home and your lender will pay the commissions and closing costs.If the fair market value of the home is less than your loan balance, there is a process called a Short Sale in which you can still sell your home. A short sale is a situation where the lender is willing to accept a smaller payoff of the balance of the loan in order to sell the home at fair market value. Hence, the term "short" in short sale.
